"The chapters bring to light the visionary work of Ulf Hannerz whose thinking should be much better known in anthropology ... The publication of Anthropology Now and Next will not only present a set of thoughtful essays about current and future anthropological practice but will introduce many readers, especially in North America, to the nuanced and visionary thinking of Ulf Hannerz, an event that in my view will be of deep disciplinary significance." * Paul Stoller, West Chester University
