“This is one of the most intelligent and engaging introductory
anthropology texts available. It is pithy and covers all of the critical
areas one would expect in an introductory class. The text itself, rich
with ethnographic examples, will certainly inspire classroom debates,
and discussion questions and classroom activity suggestions are well
formulated, encouraging students to get their hands dirty as they
wrangle with the issues themselves.”
– Liesl L. Gambold, Dalhousie University
Anthropology Matters places the study of anthropology concretely in the world by which it is
surrounded. It uses a question-based approach to introduce important anthropological concepts,
embedding those concepts in contemporary global issues that will interest students.
The third edition of this popular text includes two new chapters: one on globalization and
transnational mobility, and one on the responsibility of the global community to refugees. The
book has also been updated throughout to reflect current events and popular topics, including
the impact of social media on political and religious systems, interviews with women who veil,
and a discussion of design anthropology.

Anthropology: An Introduction

Available as an ebook
“Many students will take just one elective course in anthropology. For
that reason, it is important to use a textbook written for the student,
and one they will enjoy reading, not a text written just to appeal to the
professor. Through the Lens of Anthropology is the one textbook that
achieves this goal. Highly recommended.”
– Vaughn M. Bryant, Texas A&M University
Through the Lens of Anthropology is a concise but comprehensive introductory textbook that uses
the twin themes of food and sustainability to illustrate the connected nature of anthropology’s four
major subfields. By viewing the world through the lens of anthropology, students will learn not
only about anthropological methods, theories, and ethics, but also the ways in which anthropology
is relevant to their everyday lives and embedded in the culture that surrounds them.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, with over 150 full-color images, figures, feature boxes, and
maps, this is an anthropology text with a fresh perspective, a lively narrative, and plenty of popular
topics that are sure to engage students. A strong pedagogical framework structures the book:
each chapter features learning objectives, glossary terms, and chapter summaries, as well as review
and discussion questions which guide students’ analysis of the topics, themes, and issues raised in
the text. This book is interesting to read, manageable to teach, and succeeds at igniting interest in
anthropology as a discipline.

“This is the best new textbook I have seen in a long time. It avoids some
of the major bugaboos that are de rigueur in most other textbooks,
while using fresh examples, many anchored in the North American
experience.”
– Les Field, University of New Mexico
“I don’t like textbooks, especially anthropology textbooks. Too often
they drain the life out of the discipline. This book is different. Fully and
deeply historical, the text unravels the central stories from anthropology
to show the past in the present, all the while illustrating anthropology’s
contemporary relevance.”
– Jan Newberry, University of Lethbridge
This original introduction to cultural anthropology is a textbook like no other. Structured as a
narrative rather than a compendium of facts about cultures and concepts, it invites students to think
of anthropology as a series of stories that emerge from cultural encounters in particular times and
places. These moments of encounter are illustrated with reference to both classic and contemporary
ethnographic examples—from Coming of Age in Samoa to Coming of Age in Second Life—allowing
students to grasp anthropology’s sometimes problematic past, while still capturing the excitement
and potential of the discipline.

US & CDN $24.95
Available as an ebook
In Afghanistan Remembers, Parin Dossa examines Afghan women’s
recall of violence through memories and food practices in their
homeland and its diaspora. Her work reveals how the suffering and
trauma of violence has been rendered socially invisible following
decades of life in a war-zone. Informed by Dossa’s own story of family migration and loss,
Afghanistan Remembers is a poignant ethnographic account of the trauma of war.

A young anthropologist leaves her violent Mafia-run hometown—
Youngstown, Ohio—to study an “exotic” group, the Paiute Indians
of Nevada. This is 1964; she’ll be “the expert” and they’ll be
“the subjects.” The Paiute elders have other ideas. Why do the
Paiutes love Coyote? Why do Youngstown mill workers vote for
Mafia candidates for municipal office? In this beautifully written memoir, tricksters become key
to understanding how oppressed groups function in a hostile world.

and examining the impact of globalization on pop culture. It then
explores mass media and popular culture (soap operas, Egyptian
melodramas, Afro-Cuban rap music, and virtual communities),
artistic expression and popular culture (graffiti art and body art), and gatherings and popular
culture (fast food in Japan, equality in sport, and wedding rituals).

In a world that increasingly requires researchers to skim, scan, glance, and browse, we might
wonder how well we actually see. In this combined how-to-see / how-to-draw manual, Andrew
Causey offers insights, inspiration, practical techniques, and encouragement for social scientists
interested in exploring drawing as an alternative method of translating what they “see” during
their research. Designed for those with no drawing experience, it includes a set of carefully
calibrated exercises, grounded in ethnography, to provide comfort and confidence with drawing,
as well as an understanding of the unique possibilities that drawing might offer contemporary
research methods.

This innovative book introduces the latest in scholarship and experimental methods in what has
come to be known as “sensory ethnography.” Conceptualizing ethnography as a critical process
of inquiry that is at once empirical and theoretical, the authors organize their thoughts around five
key methodologies: sensing, walking, writing, performing, and recording. They also integrate more
traditional methods like participant observation, interviewing, and documentary research. Each
chapter includes practical exercises, a list of further resources, and links to online materials that
can help encourage a more imaginative and creative methodology.

“A thoughtful overview of questions central to public anthropology,
with examples and case studies that will prove illuminating and helpful
to undergraduates. A valuable addition to any course on public
anthropology.”
– Robert Borofsky, Director, Center for a Public Anthropology
Contemporary anthropology has changed drastically in the new millennium, expanding beyond the
anachronistic study of “primitive” societies to confront the burning social, economic, and political
challenges of the day. In the process, anthropologists often come face to face with issues that
require them to take a public position—issues such as race and tolerance, health and well-being,
food security, reconciliation and public justice, global terror and militarism, and digital media.
This comprehensive but accessible book is both an interesting read and an excellent overview of
public anthropology. In-depth case studies offer an opportunity to evaluate the pros and cons
of engaging with public issues, while profiles of select anthropologists ensure the book is contemporary, but rooted in the history of the discipline.

Anthropological Insights
Anthropological Insights
The Anthropological Insights Series features very brief
and competitively priced books that are designed to fill the gap
between contemporary research published in journals and
the information found in most textbooks. The series aims to capture
the excitement of anthropological research by offering
ethnographically grounded examples, while making connections
with the history of the discipline and its potential future manifestations.
FIRST IN THE SERIES!

US & CDN $19.95
Available as an ebook
“Providing ethnographic depth and bringing together wide-ranging
anthropological perspectives in an area often dominated by economics
and political science, McGill shows how inequalities are produced, sustained, challenged, and conceptualized by people worldwide.”
– Sean T. Mitchell, Rutgers University
Inequality is currently gaining considerable attention in academic, policy, and media circles. From
Thomas Piketty to Robert Putnam, there is no shortage of economic, sociological, or political analyses.
But what does anthropology, with its focus on the qualitative character of relationships between
people, have to offer? Drawing on current scholarship and illustrative ethnographic case studies,
McGill argues that anthropology is particularly well suited to interrogating global inequality, not
just within nations, but across nations as well.
Brief, accessibly written, and peppered with vivid ethnographic examples that bring contemporary
research to life, Global Inequality is an introduction to the topic from a unique and important
perspective.

Mental Disorder:
Anthropological Insights
Nichola Khan (University of Brighton)
Fall 2016 / 6 x 9 / paper / 144 pp / 978-1-4426-3533-3
US & CDN $19.95
Available as an ebook
This brief book introduces the ways in which contemporary anthropology engages with the
“psych” disciplines: psychology, psychiatry, and medicine. New approaches to mental illness
are situated in the context of historical, political, psychoanalytic, and postcolonial frameworks,
encouraging students to understand how health, illness, normality, and abnormality are
constructed and produced. Using case studies from a variety of regions, Khan explores what
anthropologically-informed psychology, psychiatry, and medicine can tell us about mental illness
across cultures. Innovative discussion questions and activities, as well as further reading and web
links, make the book an ideal teaching tool in a variety of courses.

Posthumanism:
Anthropological Insights
Alan Smart and Josephine Smart
(both at University of Calgary)
Spring 2017 / 6 x 9 / paper / 128 pp / 978-1-4426-3641-5
US & CDN $19.95
Available as an ebook
Designed to bring the excitement of posthumanist discussions to the undergraduate classroom,
this brief and accessible book makes an original argument about anthropology’s legacy as a study
of “more than human.” Smart and Smart return to the holism of classic ethnographies where
cattle, pigs, yams, and sorcerers were central to the lives that were narrated by anthropologists,
but they extend the discussion to include contemporary issues like microbiomes, the Anthropocene, and nano-machines, which take holism beyond locally bounded spaces. They outline what
a holism without boundaries could look like, and what anthropology could offer to the knowledge
of more-than-human nature in the past, present, and future.

Introducing Archaeology,
Second Edition
Robert J. Muckle (Capilano University)
2014 / 7.5 x 9.25 / paper / 304 pp / 978-1-4426-0785-9
US & CDN $52.95
Available as an ebook
“Muckle has written a textbook that conveys all of the excitement,
uncertainty, and deep insight that accompanies that wonderful and
complicated thing we call archaeology. This is the perfect example of
how archaeology can be presented to students in an accessible and
inviting way while maintaining intellectual integrity.”
– Jason De Leon, University of Michigan
Introducing Archaeology offers a lively alternative to many other texts. While covering traditional
elements of archaeology, including methods and prehistory, the book also integrates the key
principles of curriculum reform for the twenty-first century, as outlined by the Society for American
Archaeology. The second edition highlights recent developments in the field and includes a new
chapter on archaeology beyond mainstream academia. It also integrates more examples from
popular culture, including mummies, tattoos, pirates, and global warming. What results is a
surprisingly fresh and contemporary take on archaeology, one that situates the discipline within,
but also beyond, the academy.

Articulating Dinosaurs:
A Political Anthropology
Brian Noble (Dalhousie University)
2016 / 6 x 9 / paper / 512 pp / 978-1-4426-2705-5
US & CDN $47.95
Available as an ebook
In this remarkable interdisciplinary study, anthropologist Brian Noble traces how dinosaurs and
their natural worlds are articulated into being by the action of specimens and humans together.
Following the complex exchanges of palaeontologists, museums specialists, film- and mediamakers, science fiction writers, and their diverse publics, he witnesses how fossil remains are taken
from their partial state and re-composed into astonishingly precise, animated presences within the
modern world, with profound political consequences. The book focuses on two of the most iconic
and gendered dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus rex (the “king of the tyrant lizards”) and Maiasaura
(the “good mother lizard”).

Designed as a supplement to introductory texts in archaeology, Reading Archaeology offers
selections from scholarly journals and books as well as from semi-scientific periodicals and the
popular press. Readings are chosen based on their potential to stimulate student interest and
introduce a diversity of archaeological literature in all its major forms. Reading Archaeology pairs
well with Muckle’s core text, Introducing Archaeology, which follows the same thematic
organization, but can easily be used alongside any other introductory archaeology text.

Indigenous Studies
On Being Here to Stay: Treaties
and Aboriginal Rights in Canada
Michael Asch (University of Alberta)
2014 / 6 x 9 / paper / 232 pp / 978-1-4426-1002-6
US & CDN $24.95
Available as an ebook
Why should Canada’s original inhabitants have to ask for rights to what was their land when
non-Aboriginal people first arrived? This question lurks behind every court judgment on
Indigenous rights, every demand that treaty obligations be fulfilled, and every land-claims
negotiation. Addressing these questions has occupied anthropologist Michael Asch for nearly
thirty years. In On Being Here to Stay, Asch retells the story of Canada with a focus on the
relationship between First Nations and settlers.
Truth and Indignation: Canada’s Truth
and Reconciliation Commission on Indian
Residential Schools
Ronald Niezen (McGill University)
2013 / 6 x 9 / paper / 192 pp / 978-1-4426-0630-2
US & CDN $26.95
Available as an ebook
Truth and Indignation offers the first close and critical assessment of a Truth and Reconciliation
Commission as it unfolds. Niezen uses interviews with survivors and oblate priests and nuns, as
well as testimonies, texts, and visual materials produced by the Commission to raise important
questions. Thoughtful, provocative, and uncompromising in the need to tell the “truth” as he sees
it, Niezen offers an important contribution to our understanding of TRC processes in general, and
the Canadian experience in particular.
