This debate style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in anthropology. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading anthropologists and researchers, reflect a variety of viewpoints and have been selected for their liveliness and substance and because of their value in a debate framework. This title will be a beneficial tool to encourage critical thinking on important anthropological issues. Taking Sides is supported by our student website, Dushkin Online (www.dushkin.com/online/).
