“The book offers both unsettling and highly inspirational reading material, especially forvacademics emerging from the world’s metropolisesIt raises issues that are frequently overlooked and which represent unavoidable starting points for those doing anthropology today in the Antipodes and elsewhere.” · Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale
“This book is a good and lively read, constructed so as to draw the readers into the discussion, to make us reach our own conclusions and also to do what most of us like best: to listen carefully and to draw conclusions from the stories told to us and for us.” · Sites
“A stimulating collection of interviews.…Its value is in the biographical glimpses, intellectual perspectives and methodological insights each offer into their work. The dialogical approach works well….[T]he volume illustrates the dynamic relationship between anthropological theorizing and political practice. Rather than celebrate anthropology, the book’s role is perhaps to champion iconoclasm and the unorthodox approaches that seem to characterize many anthropological careers.” · David Mills, Oxford University
