Culture and Change: An Introduction, Paperback/Larry Naylor

Descriere

Description Growing dependency, increased contact and interactions, and the development of a participatory world culture have brought the topic of culture change to our attention as never before. Naylor examines the various issues and aspects of change, particularly directed or intended change, as it occurs within multicultural settings. He combines the best information available on the topic of change and provides a comprehensive model for change processes in an effort to supply the reader with the essentials required for understanding culture change and working within its contexts. It is appropriate for courses in anthropology, sociology, education, development studies and health, and will serve equally well for either undergraduate or graduate levels. About the Author LARRY L. NAYLOR is Associate Professor and Director of the Cultural Sensitivity Training and Research Center, Institute of Anthropology, at the University of North Texas. He is coauthor of Eskimos, Reindeer, and Land (1981) and has extensive fieldwork and consulting experience in New Guinea and Alaska.
