Publisher Description: Readings in Cultural Anthropology: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives provides students with an engaging and diverse collection of articles pertaining to cultural anthropology.

She holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in anthropology from UCLA. Dr. Riner's current research, funded in part by a WV Humanities grant, investigates killing in contexts of war and seeks to improve understanding of contemporary combat experiences in order to better facilitate veterans' transitions into post-deployment life.
