Akhil Gupta is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Stanford University. James Ferguson is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Irvine.

Culture, Power, Place is exciting, timely, and consequential. This fine book promises to be a contribution of real intellectual significance and should attract a very large audience both within anthropology and in cultural studies and related fields. This is mature, provocative, well-grounded and imaginative scholarship of the highest quality.--Don Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz This collection presses forward the agenda of rethinking the anthropological keywords of "culture" and "society", and towards an expansion of flexible yet rigorous ways of understanding the shifting terms of cultural tradition and political economy in the contemporary world.--Orin Starn, Duke University
