Synopsis:

"Cross-Cultural Anthropology: A Reference Collection" is a set of three separate encyclopedias comprehensively covering some of the most important and current research in anthropology today. Prepared under the auspices and with the support of the Human Relations Area Files, with an internationally distinguished advisory board for each encyclopedia, "Cross-Cultural Anthropology: A Reference Collection" is comprised of three independent encyclopedias encompassing three of the fastest-growing areas in anthropological research. The contributors to each of the encyclopedias is a leader in their area (geographically and topically) of research. With over 150 cultures represented, "Cross-Cultural Anthropology: A Reference Collection" is a seminal reference collection for any and every academic library and social scientist. "Encyclopedia of Medical Anthropology: Health and Illness in the World's Cultures" focuses on the effect of culture on the health and illness within a population and includes such subjects as health conditions and diseases, political, economic and gender issues."Encyclopedia of Sex and Gender: Men and Women in the World's Cultures" discusses the differences in gender roles, sexuality, reproduction, male and female interaction in the world's cultures and how each population perceives "gender" and how it affects the men and women, of these populations. "Encyclopedia of Diasporas: Immigrant and Refugee Cultures Around the World" expounds on the movement of populations from their traditional geographic location to another for reasons such as persecution, political situations, civil war, freedom, and a perceived "better life." The history of this phenomena and its current waves and impact are presented within this major reference work.
