Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
This is a revision of a highly readable, instructive, and entertaining ethnography for use as a supplemental text in introductory anthropology courses. The text chronicles the rapid social and economic change in Arembepe, a Brazilian coastal fishing village, where the author conducted anthropological fieldwork from 1962 to the present. This revision brings his research up to date with events that have occurred in this community in the 1990's, focusing primarily on the impact of modernization, technology and mass media. This ethnography can be used on its own, or in conjunction with any introductory anthropology text, but works particularly well with, Mirror for Humanity, 2/e (1999) also by Conrad Kottak. The coinciding publication of these two books offers professors the chance to give their students a brief text by a leading anthropologist, along with his most successful ethnography.

• Social Change In A Brazilian Village
16 December, 2000
Conrad Kottack visited the little town of Arembepe, Brazil three separate times: in the 1960s, in the 1970s and the 1980s. As a cultural anthropologist, he diligently documented all of the changed that occurred in that village on each occasion he had to visit. When the three visits are all added together, it's easy to see the way that increased industrialization has impacted even the most remote areas of the world. If you're at all interested in international development, anthropology, or other cultures, I would highly recommend this book.

• Very Dry And Repetitive
04 November, 1999
This book is very dry in content and very repetitive! How many times do we have to read about the hippies! It is very hard to keep one's attention and interest. Very boring.
