Recenzii

'A scientifically detailed presentation of the attitudes to, and thereby the uses and appreciation of, animals ... This book is written in the ethnographically rich manner of his previous publications ... Sillitoe deals thoroughly with a whole range of interesting issues connected with debates in anthropology ... gives an unusually comprehensive account of the management of pigs ... makes a spirited defence of his approach
of ethnographic determinism' - The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
