Description:

Counterworks argues that the apparent oppostion between strong westernizing forces and a weak concept of culture needs rethinking in a world where a sense of culture has become a wide spread property of people's social knowledge.

Review Quotes: "The epistemological war against fixity, rootedness, bounds, binaries, essence, -isms, central authority, and grand narrative continues . . . among this lively assortment of ethnographer theorists. . . . [a] compelling book."
-"American Anthropologist
