Anthropologists have become used to people's voices, 'analyses' even - this book breaks new ground by listening to 'arguments'. Arguments over what's best or right, moments of doubt or paradox about what's worthwhile, conundrums that need reasoning through. The approach is an enriching one,offering a novel purchase on the predicaments of social values in flux. - Marilyn Strathern, Professor of Social Anthropology, Cambridge University.
