Humanity is at a crossroads. We face mounting inequality, escalating political violence, warring fundamentalisms and an environmental crisis of planetary proportions.

Recenzje

Ingold, one of the most original and radical thinkers alive, presents his unique vision in a crystal–clear and passionate way. The book deserves a wide readership inside and outside the discipline.
Thomas Hylland Eriksen, University of Oslo

Anthropology: Why It Matters is both an introduction to and a profound meditation on the classic questions of anthropology. It is a model of what I would call companionable thinking .
Veena Das, Johns Hopkins University
