Reviews

"Rubenstein is a sophisticated, interesting scholar with strong political scruples, and his book is important... the volume is highly relevant to classroom use. This is also a book that will give great enjoyment to the general anthropological audience. It is deeply relevant to ongoing heated disputes among Amazonianists."--JRAI, Sept 2007
