I will be teaching an anthropology course entitled "People and Cultures of
Latin America" in the fall, and am in the process of choosing textbooks.
Although I did my fieldwork in Latin America, and have several ideas for
texts, I would like to hear from anyone who has found particular textbooks
(either readers or ethnographies) especially useful or compelling. The
students are undergraduates, most with little or no background in anthropology.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
