Here you will find a selection of ethnography books available at CSM. Keep in mind that these books might already be checked out, so be sure to check the library catalog to make sure they are on the shelf.
Also, be sure to tell the library staff you are in ANTH 110 when checking out your ethnography, since you are able to keep it for the rest of the current semester (rather than the usual 3 week loan period).
