Eat Not this Flesh
Examines the use and avoidance of flesh foods, including beef, pork, chicken, and eggs, camel, dog, horse, and fish, from antiquity to the present day. Simoons finds that the recurrent theme of maintaining ritual purity, good health, and well-being underlies diet habits. He emphasizes that only a full range of factors can explain eating patterns, and stresses the interplay of religious, moral, hygienic, ecological, and economic factors in the context of human culture. From publisher description.
Cultivating the Colonies
The essays collected in Cultivating the Colonies demonstrate how the relationship between colonial power and nature revealsthe nature of power. Each essay explores how colonial governments translated ideas about the management of exoticnature and foreign people into practice, and how they literally “got their hands dirty” in the business of empire. The eleven essays include studies of animal husbandry in the Philippines, farming in Indochina, and indigenous medicine in India. They are global in scope, ranging from the Russian North to Mozambique, examining the consequences of colonialismon nature, including its impact on animals, fisheries, farmlands, medical practices, and even the diets of indigenouspeople. Cultivating the Colonies establishes beyond all possible doubt the importance of the environment as a locus for studyingthe power of the colonial state.

Imperfect Interpreters
In this fascinating and accessible book, W.D. Hammond-Tooke takes a critical look at anthropology and anthropologists and examines the uneasy relationship between anthropological scholarship and national politics in a fundamentally divided and rapidly changing society. Imperfect Interpreters is an account of seventy years of professional anthropological study in South Africa. It is not a history of university departments or a who's who of the academic community. Rather it is a critical (and often very personal) examination of the protagonists, the theoretical ideas that guided their researches, and, especially their relationships to those in power.
