"The Work of Culture is the product of two decades of field research by Sri Lanka's most distinguished anthropological interpreter, and its combination of textual analysis, ethnographic sensitivity, and methodological catholicity makes it something of a blockbuster."-Arjun Appadurai, Journal of Asian Studies
Back Jacket
Despite its complexity and subtlety, this is a book which is accessible to individuals only tangentially concerned with psychoanalytic anthropology. For professionals in the field, and for other anthropologists as well, it will serve to define and bring into clear focus many issues of importance.
