3 May: Maurice Godelier, "a major bridge between the Anglophone and Francophone anthropology" of the Pacific (and beyond), is honored with a Festschrift
THE SCOPE OF ANTHROPOLOGY
Maurice Godelier's Work in Context
Edited by Laurent Dousset and Serge Tcherkézoff
"This is an extremely welcome addition to the literature -- unfortunately, too many English-speakers today think of Godelier as a footnote in the history of Marxist anthropology. This volume helps us remember the importance of Godelier as a thinker of the first order and a major bridge between the Anglophone and Francophone anthropology ."
