itiya 's review for:
Waiting for Foucault, Still
by Marshall Sahlins
I read this book while struggling towards a PhD in cultural anthropology. I laughed, I cried, I thought that it was everything true and good and meaningful about anthropology. It alluded to an intellectual authenticity that I lusted after in grad school. Now, having escaped that particular indulgent morass of bitterly crushed dreams and alcoholic tendencies, I can look back and say that this is also everything that is wrong with the Ivory Tower. Except for the bit about Orientalism. That is definitely right.
