Reviews

Anthropology ambitiously argues for the contemporary viability of a general anthropology in the spirit of the purpose that gave rise to the discipline in the nineteenth century. Such works are very rare indeed in anthropology today, yet they are much needed, since the question of 'what is anthropology beyond ethnography?' is very much alive. Christoph Wulf's book is a spirited and informed response to that question. (George Marcus, University of California, Irvine)
