Reviews

This is an amazing book, a page-turner, a true game-changer, one of those grand oeuvres that an academic discipline produces once a decade at best. * Patrick Neveling, Cultural Anthropology, Utrecht University This book is certainly a tour de force ... it [offers] a fresh theoretical approach that is rigorously tested in terms of evidence and against alternative interpretations ... a profoundly critical work. * John Gledhill, Social Anthropology, University of Manchester
