Book Synopsis
Concluding his search for anthropological concepts and practices appropriate to the twenty-first century, the author contends that to make sense of the contemporary anthropologists must invent new forms of inquiry. He begins with an extended rumination on what he gained from two of his formative mentors: Michel Foucault and Clifford Geertz.

Trade Review
"Sophisticated, historically and philosophically grounded, and engaging, Rabinow's vision of what anthropology might be provides food for thought and deserves careful consideration and debate." (Richard Price, College of William and Mary)"
