New Book: Engaging Anthropology
There's a new book coming out called Engaging Anthropology, written by Thomas Hylland Eriksen. You can read the entire first chapter on his website here. The book is a critique of anthropology for not becoming the "universal intellectual discipline" that we should be. I tentatively agree with this, but I'll have to read the whole book before I see if he's accurate or completely off base. The price tag of $89.95 (Amazon.com price) will keep me waiting for the paperback. Ironic, isn't it? A book critiquing anthropology's lack of public discourse going for almost a hundred bucks...

It's £15 if you buy it from Amazon UK, though I don't think you have to wait long for the paperback in the USA.
