Marshall Sahlins is the Charles F. Grey Distinguished Service Professor of Anthropology Emeritus at the University of Chicago. His books include Stone Age Economics, Culture and Practical Reason, Islands of History, and How "Natives" Think: About Captain Cook, For Example.
A publication that has value both as an historical record of
changing Western intellectual fortunes and as an authoritative
compendium of observations on those cultures whose beliefs are so
often marginalized.
*Robert Pepperell Leonardo*
Culture in Practice, a beautifully produced collection of essays
from four decades, provides a synoptic view of the work that has
made Sahlins one of the most important anthropologists in
America.
*T. M. Luhrmann, TLS*
