Waiting For Foucault, Still by Marshall Sahlins
A witty, incisive set of aphorisms and brief essays that skewers academic fashions in anthropology—especially the excesses of high theory and discourse analysis—while defending culture and human agency. Through playful satire and sharp erudition, it probes relativism, power, materialism, and method, exposing jargon and conceptual muddles, reflecting on what ethnography can and cannot know, and urging a more humane, commonsense, and historically grounded practice.
