Product Review
"What makes this collection great is not just the inventive range of topics but, above all, the sophistication and open-mindedness of the contributors."
Times Higher Education Supplement
"Kuklick and her contributors, continuing along the revelatory pathway cut by her The Savage Within, open new and illuminating perspectives on familiar terrains while providing detailed and provocative vistas onto hitherto disregarded areas of anthropology."
Glenn Bowman, University of Kent and Editor, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
"This is a wonderfully engaging brave collection of essays that interrogates much of the received wisdom about the history of anthropology. It moves the history of anthropology away from a narrowly British-American focus and engages with the breadth of the discipline in exciting and challenging ways."
Howard Morphy, Australian National University
"A New History of Anthropology provides encyclopedic coverage that is at once fresh and authoritative. Essays on national traditions of anthropology intersect with those organized topically, resulting in some surprising synergies." Richard Handler,
University of Virginia and Editor, History of Anthropology
"Kuklick's collection of original essays on the history of anthropology is both comprehensive and accessible. It is refreshingly new, not least her own chapter on British anthropology, which brings her landmark book, The Savage Within, vigorously up-to-date."
Keith Hart, University of London
"In a growing field, Henrika Kuklick and her contributors provide readers with good food for thought and reflection. With its many dimensions, much of this book will remain indispensable for future teaching and research."
Andre Gingrich, Austrian Academy of Sciences
