David Mills, Oxford University\u003cp\u003eCombining rich personal accounts from twelve veteran anthropologists with reflexive analyses of the state of anthropology today, this book is a treatise on theory and method offering fresh insights into the production of anthropological knowledge, from the creation of key concepts to major paradigm shifts. Particular focus is given to how peripheral perspectives can help re-shape the discipline and the ways that anthropologists think about contemporary culture and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“The book offers both unsettling and highly inspirational reading material, especially forvacademics emerging from the world’s metropolises.
