| Abstract
|
:
|
"Profound changes have affected the people and societies anthropologists traditionally have studied. In cultural anthropology, it's increasingly difficult to know when to write in the present and when to write in the past tense. While any competent anthropology text must present anthropology's core, it should also demonstrate, as Mirror attempts to do, the discipline's relevance to today's globalized world and the people living in it. Mirror for Humanity has been written to help students make connections between what they read and their own lives."
