Summary

"Stubbornly loyal to the discipline and its continuing possibilities, this collection. . . . advances the interests of anthropology by claiming the interest of readers who are not anthropologists--all readers who have any concern with the production of trans-national knowledge."--Bruce Robbins, Rutgers University "This fine collection of essays from cultural anthropology usefully surveys the issues that have animated discussions in the field for the last several years. It can be read profitably by anyone interested in cultural studies."--Janice A. Radway, Duke University
