Summary: Gets weak at the end
Comment: I have been a TA for 5 semesters for Cultural Anthropology, and this was the first semester we have used this book (Fall 2002).This is a very thorough basic introduction to Cultural Anthropology, basically taking an interpretive approach. However, I find the sections on gender, kinship, colonialism, and applied anthropology weak. The chapters on gender and kinship are wanting - the gender chapter is really only about hierarchy and could use an addition of theory. The kinship chapter is simultaneously superficial and too advanced. The terms at the end of the chapter are really advanced, coming right after a chapter that was really general. I was also not very satisfied with the discussion of race or the definition of hegemony. Generally, this is a great effort, but could use some more revision and careful thought in some of the chapters.
