Produktbeschreibung

"Bennett has produced a personalised and user-friendly, if idiosyncratic, critique of North American anthropology that is surprisingly contemporary in framing and language. Readers will quibble with many interpretations, but Bennett's qualms about anthropolgy, past and present, deserve answers. 'Anthropological Forum'.
