John Borneman is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University. He is author of After the Wall: East Meets West in the New Berlin; Belonging in the Two Berlins: Kin, State, Nation; Unsettling Accounts: Violence, Justice, and Accountability in Postsocialist Europe; and coauthor, with Jeffrey M. Peck, of Sojourners: The Return of German-Jews and the Question of Identity.

"This book takes up burning problems in new ways by someone deeply versed in his field with a sensitivity to nuance and detail no less than to an acute sense of urgency. The reality to which most of the essays are dedicated is one never or rarely discussed by anthropologists, namely East Germany and neighboring states, and he does this with an eye open to recent anthropology and political theory. The approach he adopts has his own signature and is a major reason for the strength of this book, responding to new anxieties concerning social order, ethnicity, violence, and the study of society, stressing a new integration of anthropological study with urban and global force." — Michael Taussig, Columbia University"In my opinion, no one working in the anthropology of Europe has the sort of edgy insight of Borneman which draws you into the ethnography. This is not only because of the quandaries of the German situation, but also the distinctive curiosity of Borneman himself." — George E. Marcus, Rice University"Subversions of International Order is an important and enjoyable work … It is methodologically and theoretically provoking." — H-Net Reviews (H-SAE)
