"In this updated form, one of the most accessable and lucid
discussions of rationality takes on new relevance for today's
readers. Understanding Cultures will continue to probe and
illuminate fundamental issues in social theory for years to come."
F. Allan Hanson, University of Kansas
"Ulin's justly acclaimed discussion of the rationality debate remains essential reading for any anthropologist interested in epistemology and the politics of representation. For students who wish to learn how the insights of philosophers, social theorists and sociocultural anthropologists can enrich each other in building a critical theory that refuses to take postmodern fragmentation at face value, this judicious and perceptive work remains the ideal source." John Gledhill, The University of Manchester
