Trade Review"In this important new book, Ethnographica Moralia: Experiments in Interpretive Anthropology, editors Neni Panourgia and George E. Marcus have assembled an impressive array of chapters that map the crisscrossing circuits of interpretative inquiry that have followed from Clifford Geertz's (and Marcus's) original arguments." -American Ethnologist "Whether self-reflexive, self-critical or engaged in radical refashioning, the strength of the discipline as it reframes itself through this beautiful volume is luminously evident." -- -Gil Anidjar Columbia University "Essays by American, Greek, and other scholars who draw on the theories of Clifford Geertz." -The Chronicle of Higher Education "A strong, timely and coherent collection ... a clarion-call for the ongoing relevance of interpretive anthropology to the discipline." -- -David Sutton Southern Illinois University Carbondale
