Really, this must be an impossible book to market. If you're a professional anthropologist of education or educational anthropologist (don't be fooled: the two phrases are not exactly interchangeable), you probably don't have much use for a "companion" such as this except, perhaps, to keep tabs on what your friends in the field are writing. And if you're either a casual reader or an educator looking for ways to improve your craft, you probably wouldn't come within a mile of this collection of rather dense essays about the work being done in an admittedly marginal field both of education and anthropology. So the book caters to the in-betweens, that is, students who're enrolled in an Anthropology of Education course. As one of those, I have just a few reflections: First, at $160 (or more), the book is just way too expensive. Good thing the University of Texas library had an electronic copy I could sponge, or this review would've been ugly. I don't think I would've ever overcome spending that kind of money for a 600-page anthology of essays. Unbelievable. Second, although they vary in quality, the essays collected here have clearly been vetted and edited well; they cover a vast terrain without losing touch with one another and, more importantly, they're not too redundant. Sure, lots of mentions of Spindler & Wife, Margaret Mead, and Bourdieau, but that's to be expected. Third, and lastly, at its heart the book is little more than a "state of the field" display, with various field leaders sounding in their opinions on where the discipline has been, where it is presently, and where it should go. As such, it's an enlightening lesson in history and context... but not such a great research tool. Now that I'm working on an actual paper for the Anthro/Ed course, I find the book's best help is its copious bibliographies. I know it isn't easy to edit a collection of so many chapters on so many related topics, and I know it isn't easy to market a book for a limited audience within what it already a rather small subfield. So I'll be generous: four stars.
