Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"The appearance of ... THE KUNA GATHERING ... confirms my belief that meetings (finally) are beginning to emerge as an important topic of anthropological analysis ... [It is] one of the few full-scale ethnographies of a society examined from the standpoint of its meetings.... This is an important study because it provides us with the best example yet of what we can learn when we approach a cultural and social system through the events that participants use to both constitute and act within it."
--Helen Schwartzman, in THE MEETING: GATHERINGS IN ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES
"In THE KUNA GATHERING, Howe provides us with a vivid ... microview of Kuna village-level politics while at the same time judiciously attending to a broad range of issues of current concern in political anthropology and political science. [It is] a valuable study of politics in small-scale societies--and a pleasure to read."
--Philip Young, THE AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENCE REVIEW
