Recenzii

oThe strength of this book lies in its brilliant demonstration that local contexts of practical life and quotidian experienceNunderstood in terms of embodiment, agency, and nonDdiscursive formNmay constitute grounds for understanding such global issues as epidemic disease, commoditization, symbolic capital, and the discourse of nationalism.ONMichael Jackson, Indiana University oThis is an important ethnography, beautifully written and tightly conceived. It offers stunning ethnographic material and important theoretic reframings of exchange practices. Weiss establishes, the value of a person-centered, historically situated African ethnography and sets a new standard for clarity of exposition of complex contemporary issues in these terms.ONDebbora Battaglia, Mount Holyoke College
