Christopher Bracken is associate professor in the Department of English and Film Studies at the University of Alberta. He is the author of The Potlatch Papers: A Colonial Case History, also published by the University of Chicago Press.

"Bracken argues that, despite our denial, savage philosophy is very much with us today, and in an extraordinary whirl through many of today's canonized thinkers, he uncovers and explicates its strands. The depth and breadth of his purview are quite extraordinary: this book will appeal to scholars of literary criticism, anthropology, philosophy, and intellectual history. I was enchanted by it." - Vincent Crapanzano, author of Imaginative Horizons"
