Schneider on Schneider - The Conversion of the Jews and Other Anthropological Stories

"Is it possible that our whole knowledge of people, what they do and what they are, can only come true or complete itself in a humor about them? What Schneider's humor and Handler's skill have captured is not simply the wit of anthropology nor once again the story of anthropology, but actually the life of anthropology in its times."--Roy Wagner, University of Virginia
