Recensione:

Anthropology is nothing unless also concerned with contemporary social and political questions. Edelman and Haugerud s set of readings and wide–ranging, authoritative introduction will be indispensable to scholars and practitioners alike.
Ralph Grillo, University of Sussex

Enhanced by the editors knowledgeable introduction, which draws attention to anthropology s silences as well as engagements with classical and contemporary political economy, this comprehensive anthology will be of great value to scholars, students, and practitioners.
Sara Berry, Johns Hopkins University

Certainly, it enriches our understanding of development by signalling the interdisciplinary sensibilities of development studies scholarship as well as the complex interplay of political economy, history and culture that shapes development processes.
