Writing in Anthropology: A Brief Guide applies the key concepts of rhetoric and composition-audience, purpose, genre, and credibility-to examples based in anthropology. It is part of a series of brief, discipline-specific writing guides from Oxford University Press designed for today's writing-intensive college courses. The series is edited by Thomas Deans (University of Connecticut) and Mya Poe (Northeastern University).
Shan-Estelle Brown is a medical anthropologist and assistant professor of anthropology at Rollins College. Previously, she was a postdoctoral researcher in the AIDS Program at Yale School of Medicine.
"For the future of the field and for our students, this text should become a beacon. Writing in Anthropology is a fantastic book arriving at a prescient moment. I know I will recommend it to my colleagues and assign it to my students." --Brian F. Codding, University of Utah
This text boils down anthropological writing into a manageable read for busy students taking five classes per semester with multiple papers requirements. It also covers the four major fields--very important." --Joseph E. Diamond, SUNY New Paltz
Concrete and full of useful examples, I think undergraduates would immediately benefit from Writing in Anthropology. --Joseph Hankins, University of California, San Diego
"A friendly, engaging, and informative introduction to anthropological writing. The text covers both the writing of anthropologists and the writing that anthropologists require of their students." --Edmund Searles, Bucknell University
