Reviews

Arguing forcefully against a number of distinguished anthropologists and his own earlier work, [Alfred Gell] has produced a critical review of the literature which is original, disturbing and sometimes brilliant... --MAN Gell takes a broad sweep and his book is likely to be the standard one in this field for some time to come. --Cosmos ... Gell's work is most likely a probe, but - I must add - a very brilliant one. --Ibero-Americana Pragensia
