Reviews
"This book is a major contribution to the intellectual history of Ireland. Its great merit is that it not only describes all the major developments in method, theory and controversy, but does so in a consistently intelligible manner. Its rich details, comparative insights and persuasive interpretations make this an essential volume for students of Irish society and culture. - George Gmelch, Union College, USA
With humor and a sense of mission, The Anthropology of Ireland provides a profile of Ireland''s ethnographic past and a clear statement of a program for the present and future. The issues it addresses and the standard of ethnography it represents are at the heart of 21st century anthropology as it confronts the problems of globalization. - Joan Vincent, Columbia University, USA
With solid ethnography to their credit, an impressive command of a broad range of Irish material, and a distinct familiarity with the new directions taken by anthropology in a globalized world, Wilson and Donnan skilfully handle both these transformative processes and the relationship between them. - The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute"
