Trade Review
"The Genealogical Science is an important book, deeply informed about contemporary genetics and the cultures of genealogical analysis that have emerged from the wealth of scientific work. Nadia Abu El-Haj offers the most sustained analysis to date of both the scientific and socio-cultural grounds of genetic and genealogical science. In doing so, she significantly advances recent claims in anthropology and science studies about the entanglements of nature and culture, science and politics." -David Theo Goldberg, University of California, Irvine"
