Trade Review
"Travels with Tooy is the fruition of decades of research among the Saramaka people. The ethnography is incredibly rich and nuanced; the historical narratives are precise and eye-opening; and the portrait of Tooy is fine-grained and moving. This is scholarship at its very best." - Paul Stoller, author of Money Has No Smell"
