“fascinating little book adds to the study of culture to political economy” MacGaffey ~Journal of Anthropological Research “presents fascinating material on beliefs about money in some Luo-speaking communities of Kenya… an insightful analysis… a case that will generate fruitful discussions for years to come” Ferguson ~American Ethnologist BITTER MONEY unites symbolic and economic analysis in exploring the beliefs about forbidden exchanges among the Luo of Kenya and other African peoples. Shipton's multi-paradigmatic theoretical explanation briefly summarizes a century of anthropological thought about African exchange, while integrating ways of understanding rural African economy, politics, and culture.

The unifying idea of THE POLITICS OF TIME is that time is an object of power relations. Chapters are concerned with different forms of objectification, various contests of power that shape time as a concept and as a resource, and the multiplicity social constructions of time. The emphasis is to ask questions about what time is, how it is reckoned, and what standard is used to measure it.

“provides a most-needed analysis of the benefits and limitations of the new cultural anthropology.” Bolles ~American Ethnologist, 1994 “groundbreaking” Levinson ~The Teachers College Record, 2008 DECOLONIZING ANTHROPOLOGY is part of a broader effort that aims to advance the critical reconstruction of the discipline devoted to understanding humankind in all its diversity and commonality. The utility and power of a decolonized anthropology must continue to be tested and developed. May the results of ethnographic probes--the data, the social and cultural analysis, the theorizing, and the strategies for knowledge application--help scholars envision clearer paths toincreased understanding, a heightened sense of intercultural and international solidarity, and last, but certainly not least, world transformation.
