“Humanists and social scientists alike will profit from reflection on the efforts of the contributors to reimagine anthropology in terms, not only of methodology, but also of politics, ethics, and historical relevance. Every discipline in the human and social sciences could use such a book.”—Hayden White, author of Metahistory

"A distinguished, original, and highly significant collection."—Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern
