“While Barth might not be the ‘star author’ in fashion in academia today, invisible in many of the scholarly discourses, he is without any doubt a member of the small group of anthropologists who will be a source of inspiration for generations to come…I highly recommend this book, especially for readers interested in the future of anthropology and Barth’s place in itClearly, Barth keeps fuelling new thoughts and perspectives in the global anthropological community.” • Anthropology Book Forum
“The entire volumes testifies to Barth’s long-lived relevance in anthropological theory and practice.” • Choice
“This is an unusually interesting volume. Part conventional Festschrift for Fredrik Barth (one of the most significant and influential anthropologists, also one of the most original and distinctive, of the second half of the twentieth century), but also part record and outcome of Barth’s specific influence in China and makes for a very distinctive volume.” • James Laidlaw, University of Cambridge
