In an unusual life course, Sally Falk Moore went from lawyering in an elite New York law firm to the Nuremberg trials, and from there to an academic career in anthropology at Harvard, first doing archival work related to Inca Peru, then intermittent fieldwork in Africa that stretched over many years. She worked on political questions on Kilimanjaro while the area was subject to a period of mandatory Tanzanian socialism. This book offers a selection of her varied work--the history of her thought as she reflects on fragments of her autobiography, and on the theoretical ideas that emerged as she interpreted anthropological materials. Here are essays spanning a lifetime of reflection and engagement with the human condition, ranging from myths of incest and sexuality to the study of planned development projects that produced unplanned developments. This collection is nothing less than a banquet of serious anthropological tastings from one of anthropology's master chefs--a lifetime comparison of both possibilities and impossibilities for anthropology.
