Check out all the updates to the 2nd edition
Edited by Steve Matthewman, Catherine Lane West-Newman and Bruce Curtis, all Senior Lecturers, Department of Sociology, University of Auckland, New Zealand
An Introduction to Social Anthropology Sharing Our Worlds 2nd edition Joy Hendry, Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology, Oxford Brookes University, UK
‘Being Sociological captures the sociological imagination in terms of six key themes that provide creative methods of understanding social reality. These signposts also give this volume both discipline and coherence. Thinking of society as process, the authors cover a wide range of social activities from feeling to working, and from consuming to modernizing. These sociological concepts are carefully applied to major contemporary issues such as the Arab Spring, violent conflict in Chechnya, and global warming.’ - Bryan S. Turner, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA
‘... without doubt one of the best introductory texts to social and cultural anthropology that exists.’ - Professor Cris Shore, University of Auckland, New Zealand
‘Beautifully written, imaginatively illustrated and systematically presented, this critical encounter with common sense makes me want to study sociology all over again. Lucky are the students who will read it.’ - Michael Burawoy, President of the International Sociological Association This original, thematic introduction to sociology encourages students to look afresh at a world they think they know. Taking readers through different ways of existing and acting in the world, such as ‘believing’ or ‘educating’, it covers all the key areas of first year study and equips students with the skills to think sociologically.
