Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-13 00:00:00 Gary Garsha Lopez is a right winger and quite a few bits of this should be taken with a grain of salt. It's obvious which parts though and I don't think it detracts from what overall is quite a brilliant piece of scholarship based on extensive interviews and archival research. It's written clearly and, despite the topic having the potential to be exceedingly dry, is actually a bit of a page-turner.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-27 00:00:00 Christoper Freeman There are many things problematic about this book, but the only I can really be bothered typing about right now is Povinelli's gargantuan blind spot in how she is positioned in relation to her subjects. It could also be my barely self-acknowledged dislike of anthropology and anthropologists coming to the fore. I'll stick with Taiaiake Alfred, Glen Coulthard, Lorenzo Veracinini, and Linda Tuhiwai Smith in the realm of critiques of contemporary forms of colonial power.
