"Lawyer-turned-anthropologist, Sally Falk Moore has had one of the most diverse careers in anthropology... Comparing Impossibilities - a collection of Moore's most famous essays on law, anthropology, and Africa - celebrates the breadth and diversity of her career through two different themes: those of processual anthropology and comparative methods....Overall, Comparing Impossibilities is a remarkable overview of Sally Falk Moore's career and contribution to the field of anthropology at large, with a specific focus on her work in Tanzania and in legal anthropology - and especially regarding the transfer of land rights... [it] remains a brilliant demonstration of the ways in which anthropologists can mediate the tension between the ambition to account for situations in process, and the temporal 'impossibilities' that arise from the need to do so through their comparison."--Emilia Antiglio
