'Thoroughly engaging, provocative, and forward-reaching,
Anthropological Theory Today is a testament to the vigor,
diversity, and critical purchase of anthropological theorizing at
the late modern end of our century. This is a major and
scintillating collection of fresh theoretical contributions -
previously unpublished - by an innovative group of anthropology's
important scholars. We owe a major debt to Henrietta Moore for
having conceptualized this important volume and for introducing it
so productively.' Bruce Knauft, Department of Anthropology,
Emory University

'Leading members of the younger generation of anthropologists
engage with confidence and passion topics ranging from ideologies
of economics, liberalism and military violence to gender, body,
self and mind. Readers will find much to learn from and much to
debate within these smart, substantial essays that illustrate the
ethical and intellectual excitement, range and complexity of
contemporary inquiry.' Michael Lambek, Department of
Anthropology, University of Toronto

"Moore sees anthropology as a debate as well as a set of
practices ... The papers in Anthropological Theory Today are
appealing [and] stimulating ... I recommend the book highly to
practicing anthropologists and graduate students."
Anthropos

'[Individual chapters] ... offer not only fresh ethnography,
recent theorizing and good, occasionally sparkling analytical
points; but they also reveal the new identity of a discipline that
has successfully passed through the tunnel of postmodernism and
emerged on the other side.' Ethnos

'There is much to consider in Moore's substantial Introduction
as she presents her view of fundamental questions regarding
anthropology and theory and as she introduces the nine papers at
some depth.' Journal of Anthropological Research

" All the chapters in the book are interesting, One strength of
this collection lies in the fact that every chapter indicates what
its author/s regard/s as cutting-edge research, as well as noting
any gaps in their respective sub-fields. This could be helpful new
researchers such as postgraduate students. Another of its strengths
lies in the bibliographies provided by the various contributing
authors. These appear to be quite comprehensive so that if a
particular chapter or sub-field appeals there is a wealth of
reading to undertake." Journal of Intercultural
Studies
