Key Questions in Anthropology: Little Books on Big Ideas

Series Editor: H. Russell Bernard
University of Florida

Key Questions in Anthropology can best be described as small books on large topics. Each of the distinguished authors is asked to summarize one of the key debates in the field, briefly, comprehensively, and in a style accessible to college undergraduates. Anthropology’s enduring questions and perennial debates are addressed here in a fashion that is both authoritative and conducive to fostering class debate, research, and writing. Proposals for books in the series should be addressed to ufruss@ufl.edu
