A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RESOURCES IN ENGLISH

     The following sources will be of use for the topics we will consider in this course. This list covers some subjects better than others, and should by no means be considered comprehensive. It is long, but has purposely not been arranged topically to encourage you to browse it in its entirety. You are encouraged to identify other appropriate works and to mine their bibliographies.
      Not all of the following works are owned by the UTA Libraries, so use of Interlibrary Loan will be necessary. Anthropology subject librarian John Dillard has compiled an online list of useful resources for this course (including hyperlinks to many full-text articles cited below), which can be accessed here.
      Asterisked items in the list below are on reserve in the Central Library.
