<p>"A thoughtful, inviting, student-sensitive book that exudes conviviality in knowledge traditions and meaning-making. Venkatesan goes beyond prescriptive abstractions on the need for effective conversational inclusivity in rethinking the colonial logics underpinning anthropological thought and practice. Enthusiastically recommended."<br /><b>Francis B. Nyamnjoh,</b><i><b> University of Cape Town</b><br /><br /></i>"This interrogation of a key moment in anthropological life comes from a practitioner who is also a teacher and learner. Venkatesan’s three-year dialogue with students has opened up arguments and questions about decolonization in a surprisingly fresh, accessible and broad ranging way. At once conversational and deeply reflective, her work considers all over again anthropology’s conditions of possibility."<br /><b>Marilyn Strathern<i>, University of Cambridge</i></b></p>
