"This volume has few precedents and no rival. It is of
singular breadth. The editors are at once discriminating and
judicious in their selections: no playing favorites here. Their
introductory essays are masterful--accessible enough that the
uninitiated can engage them but also so well informed and argued
that even the professional can learn from them. It offers a record
of anthropological theory past and present and manages to point as
well to possible theoretical futures. By illustration and by
design, it offers an answer to the question that is as common as it
is distressing: "Just what is anthropology, anyway?"
It's an indispensable pedagogical resource." - James D.
Faubion, Professor of Anthropology, Rice University, USA
"A thoughtfully selected, persuasively organized and
refreshingly original collection that illuminates the generative
assumptions, debates and practices from which anthropological
knowledge has been and continues to be produced." -
Mary Hancock, University of California, Santa Barbara,
USA
