Teaching Anthropology: Cross-Cultural Processes for Negotiating Meaning.

Williams, Charles S.

Urban Anthropology and Studies of Cultural Systems and World Economic Development, v18 n1 p85-93 Spr 1989

Delineates bicultural and multicultural settings that can enhance meaning in teaching and acquiring anthropological insights and addresses the underlying assumptions that dispel rather than reinforce ethnic biases. Examines contributions or impediments that standard anthropological texts and ethnographic materials bring to the experience of negotiating cross-cultural understanding and meaning. (Author)
