?A New History draws together an engaging and illuminating set of case studies that throw anthropology?s history into relief and will be of particular use as a teaching resource.? (Anthropological Forum, July 2009) ?What makes this collection excellent is not just the inventive range of topics but, above all, the sophistication and open-mindedness of the contributors.?(Times Higher Education Supplement) ?This collection of original essays is new not just because it is newly published, but also because it is innovative. Without exception, these essays, contributed by historians and anthropologists, are theoretically sophisticated and historically informed. They constitute an historical sociology and politics of anthropological ideas and practices that illuminate current debates. Editor Kuklick has achieved a consistency and power not often found in varied collections. Essential.? (Choice)"In this book one finds not only a helpful 'tool for both the teaching and learning pf the history of anthropology', but also learns about knowledge production as a tool for empowering a discipline not yet fully recovered from it entanglement with colonial power and exploitation, inter-disciplinary threats and intra-disciplinary struggles." (Critique of Anthropology, 2009)
