Recenzii

"The contributions are framed by a brief, but rich introductory chapter that contextualizes the anthropology of professional expert knowledge. The volume is concluded by a wonderful (in several meanings), entertaining essay by Raymond Apthorpe." * Forum for Development Studies "By denying developing countries cultural specificity, aid agencies can arrogantly perpetuate their own insularity. This is fascinating and underexplored territory for anthropologists and development theorists alike, making this an important collection." * Times Literary Supplement "Themes are - consistently woven throughout the book, particularly ethnographic approaches considering mechanisms by which expert knowledge is transmitted - This book fills a gap in the consideration of expert knowledge and its application to consultancy that has not been addressed since Morris and Bastin (2004)." * Anthropological Forum
