Reviews

This is an impressive collection of essays that spans a huge array of themes, topics, writing styles and historical periods... The volume as a whole brings up lively conversations about a variety of themes in economic anthropology, and groups of the contributions can be used for class teaching on particular themes. * Minh Nguyen, Bielefeld University
