“Michael M. J. Fischer's work has a deep ethical sense, as well as acute knowledge of the political, historical matrix of living and dying that anthropologists attend to. Recognizing and describing the traumas and violences that saturate the worlds ethnographers inhabit and write about, Anthropology in the Meantime is never far from the questions of whom ethnography and anthropology are for, and with whom they are practiced; and the answers are never simple.” — Donna J. Haraway, author of, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene
“Anthropology in the Meantime is a stunning, luminous, and empowering engagement with our anthropological legacies and with anthropology to come. Ingenious through and through, this book represents critical humanism and cosmopolitan theorizing at its very best. It consolidates Michael M. J. Fischer's standing as anthropology's most inventive present-day essayist.” — João Biehl, coeditor of, Unfinished: The Anthropology of Becoming
