This book examines contemporary migration to the United States through a surprising and compelling case study - the Nuer of Sudan, whose traditional life represents one of the most important case studies in the history of anthropology. It provides an opportunity to examine issues of current importance within anthropology, such as social change, transnationalism, displacement, and diaspora in an easy to understand manner. In understanding the experiences of the Nuer, students will not only gain insights into the world refugee problem and the role of immigration in the United States, they will also learn about the features of Nuer life which are considered a standard part of the anthropology curriculum. The book juxtaposes elements of Nuer culture which are well-known within anthropology - and featured in most anthropology textbooks - with new developments arising from the immigration of many other Nuer to the U.S. in the 1990s as refugees from civil war in southern Sudan. Consequently, this book will fit well within existing anthropology curricula, while providing an important update on descriptions of traditional life.

For courses in Philosophy of Religion. Using various and competing religious sensibilities, Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion helps students work through the traditional material and their own religious questions. This text can be used alone or in conjunction with Kellenberger's Introduction to Philosophy of Religion: An Anthology.

One reviewer commented that when he was finished with the class discussion of the arguments for the existence of God, his classes would ask about the significance of the arguments for the existence of God. This text has a chapter that explores that question, Chap 3 ¿Religious Faith and Proving God¿s Existence. Chapter 3 follows the chapter in which the logical strength of the traditional arguments for God¿s existence is discussed. Throughout the text the issues discussed are related to religious reactions to the issues under discussion.
