Anthropology in the Meantime Experimental Ethnography, Theory, and Method for the Twenty-First Century

"Anthropology in the Meantime is a rich collection of essays in tune with the central debates in contemporary cultural anthropology. . . . It serves as a survey of the present state of the field, identifying the tensions and re-inscribing them in the long tradition of anthropological scholarship. . . . Recommended. Advanced undergraduates and above." - A. Ponce de Leon (Choice) " [This book] maintains a productive line that brings one back to the spirit, above all, of ethnographic exploration as idea and method mining. ... I believe it arrives at a perfect moment. [Fischer] contributes to various contemporary discussions within anthropology on religion, film, politics, postcolonialism, and gender/sexuality." - Joseph Russo (Anthropological Quarterly) "This wonderful and well-researched collection of essays on third ethnographic spaces offers a pragmatic vision for anthropology in the Kantian spirit of the formation of a world society. A must read indeed in times of rapid change." - Michelangelo Paganopoulos (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute)
