Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Global? Local? Historical? Futuristic? Exotic? Quotidian? Peter Redfield shows us that if you go to the right place, don't stay there, look and listen carefully, and spend years crafting the manuscript and your ideas, it is possible to write a book such as Space in the Tropics that shows that there already is an anthropology for the new millennium."—Paul Rabinow, author of French DNA, Trouble in Purgatory

"Space in the Tropics speaks -- often quite brilliantly -- to several domains all at once and makes us take a second look at things we think we know all too well. If traditional anthropology attempted to introduce us to other worlds, Redfield introduces us to ourselves."—John R. Gillis, author of A World of Their Own Making
