Not just for anthropologists
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Simply put, this is the single most devastating, incredible, challenging, revolutionary, terrifying, haunting, beautiful, and rewarding book i've read (... again and again and again). It's repeatedly forced me to reassess everything i've thought i've "known," and deepened my analysis of both knowledge itself and knowledge's nature. At the same time, it's made me a little crazy and robbed me of the great faith i once had in academics (in other words, if you're working on a degree, you may want to read this *after* graduation). The fact that it's out of print prompts me to seriously question the nature of the publishing industry as well, actually - it seems truly a crime against the progress of learning that more people don't get to read this extraordinary work.
