Reviews

“Through the Lens of Anthropology 2e is an innovative and exciting e-textbook— not something I say lightly about any book. The examples are effective and current, the text is engaging, and the themes of food and sustainability provide enough flexibility to allow me to match the text to my own teaching goals. The second edition is even more impressive with a stronger focus on decolonization and Indigenous peoples integrated throughout. I look forward to using it in my own courses.” — Dr. Erin Halstad McGuire, Associate Teaching Professor, University of Victoria

“Through a crystal-clear summary of the latest scholarship and the occasional burst of humor, professors Gonzalez and Muckle provide a stellar holistic view of all anthropological subfields in this introductory textbook. Comprehensive coverage is twinned beautifully with a sharp focus on issues of food and sustainability, which provides a unifying theme throughout. Students—as well as their instructors—will be energized by discussions of everything from decolonization to the accurate use of gender pronouns. My love of anthropology makes me yearn for a textbook that conveys both its excitement and its importance, and Through the Lens of Anthropology, 2nd edition, achieves this beautifully.” — (Barbara J. King, Professor Emerita, College of William and Mary)
