Omschrijving
“A very thought-provoking book that provides a new way to look at modern conflict, disinformation and the loss of trust in institutions. Douglas's ideas are particularly timely now - but not well understood. This offers a lively, clear guide to her key thoughts - and a great frame to understand a world spinning out of control.” • Gillian Tett, Provost of King’s College Cambridge
“The book is well written, adopting something of Mary’s own freedom of association. I think the authors are correct to plead for her relevance for contemporary anthropology. Especially when they are talking about apparently unsurmountable vicious polarizations.” • Peter Fry, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)
“This is a big book that happens to be short in length, a master class in lucid compression that faces both past and future: outlining Douglas’s biography and times, explaining her theories and their myriad applications, while building an original synthesis on her legacy.” • Richard Fardon, SOAS University of London
