Book review: Cultural anthropology: global forces, local lives

"Cultural Anthropology: Global Forces, Local Lives." Second Edition. Jack David Eller. Routledge. --- Exploring contemporary topics and perspectives including colonialism, economic development, globalisation, pop culture and more, the second edition of this popular textbook covers all the basics for undergraduate students, as well as offering additional in-depth coverage of topics not normally addressed in other introductory texts. A clean, student-friendly layout coupled with the author’s own highly readable written style guides the reader through the application of anthropological concepts in the contemporary world. Sneha Krishnan finds Eller’s textbook is a thorough introduction to cultural anthropology, and a very important addition to the resources for teaching in that discipline.
