Trade Review'Indigenising Anthropology is not merely a collection of essays spanning the storied career of Barbara Glowczewski. It is a homage to a philosophical space that grew between Glowczewski’s long and intimate intellectual relationship with Felix Guattari and her equally committed conceptual dialogue with Indigenous Australians. Glowczewski’s thoughts glow with a scholarly originality and political potentiality desperately needed today.' -- Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Columbia University. 'These fascinating essays retrace an engagement over forty years with Anthropology, Australian Indigenous people and the thought of Guattari and Deleuze. By turns anthropological field notes, theoretical essay and personal memoir, they provide a unique perspective on the intersection of these domains. They open a window on to the intellectual and spiritual resources, and politics, of Aboriginality in the contemporary world. Highly recommended to anyone interested in these matters.' -- Paul Patton, UNSW and Wuhan University
