Recensioner i media

"Anthropology off the shelf ought to be on every introductory reading list..." (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, August 2010) “The essays are both provocative and provoking, compelling and edgy. Whether this thrust in anthropology or in academia in general will continue, books like this are required to keep the intellectual energy within the academy vital and engaged. Indispensible reading across disciplines. Summing Up: Essential.” (CHOICE, October 2009)
