“The Comaroffs are among the very finest anthropologists working anywhere in the world today. As genuine leaders of the discipline, every new book they publish is an event, and this one is no exception. Ethnicity, Inc. will be a watershed for anyone looking for new ways to explain our neoliberal world. This extraordinarily lucid book is one of the most ambitious, wide-ranging, and thought-provoking pieces of anthropological scholarship written over the last few decades; it sets a standard other scholars can only hope to emulate.”

(Matti Bunzl, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign )

“John and Jean Comaroff have compressed a great many scintillating ideas into this book-length essay on ethnicity and its current transmutations. Drawing on examples from across the globe, they offer a powerful new hypothesis about why ethnicity refuses to succumb to modernization, and indeed how law, neoliberal markets, and new forms of possessive nominalism make ethnicity a critical element of the social logic of commodification. Their insights have the potential to spark new debates over a range of related issues in the study of global modernity, and will be read with profit by a wide range of critical scholars in both the social sciences and the humanities who are struggling to understand the many lives of ethnicity.”

(Arjun Appadurai, New York University )
