Reviews

This is an interesting and welcome contribution to a scholarly debate that has triggered considerable attention among anthropologists and others over the last few years. It brings together six chapters that engage with Ingold's intervention about ethnography vs anthropology by critically asking how Ingold's views can be put into practice. Oskar Verkaaik, University of Amsterdam
