For courses in American Arts/Aesthetics; Popular Culture; Anthropology of Art; and Survey Anthropology. Written in a clear, lively style, this text approaches its subject using the traditional methods of cultural anthropology- in-depth interviews with "native" informants, examination of "native" texts, and analysis of "native" rites of passage.
