About this book
Reviews
"The author's theoretical erudition and practical research experience more than 40 years ensures that no choice is taken for granted, but is subjected to reasoning. The book carves out a very important niche for itself between more abstract epistemology and a field hand book." - Christian Lund, Professor of Development Studies, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
"Indeed, a basic tenor in the book is a determined search for guarantees that qualitative does not become synonymous with impressionistic." - Peter Geschiere, Professor of Anthropology, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
"Anthropology has been waiting for this book for a long time. It is not only a felicitous marriage between French rationalism and American pragmatism, but also a response to the increasingly tired ideological wars that pit objectivity against subjectivity and culture against text, especially from a North American perspective." - Bob White, Professor of Anthropology, University of Montreal, Canada
