---------------------------- Original Message ------------------------- Subject: New Book From: "Emma Boyer" <eboyer@dukeupress.edu> Date: Thu, November 9, 2006 1:34 pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Gerald Levy, We will soon be releasing Melissa Fisher and Greg Downey's new book /Frontiers of Capital/, and were wondering if it might be of interest to the /Outline on Political Economy List/. Do you accept brief publishers announcements? If so, here is some text you might use. Feel free to alter it to your specifications. Please let me know if you are able to do this so that I can report back to the author. Thanks, Emma *********************************************************** /Frontiers of Capital: Ethnographic Reflections on the New Economy/ edited by Melissa Fisher and Greg Downey Ethnographies exploring how cultural practices and social relations have been altered by the radical economic and technological innovations of the New Economy. "/Frontiers of Capital/ is a synthetic state-of-the-art account of anthropology's contribution to thinking about the current economic moment. The essays are--without exception--brilliant ethnographic excursions into the terrain of what the editors call the 'New Economy.' Together they enable an understanding of the post-Cold War, neoliberal, information-saturated, finance-capital-dominated world we inhabit."--Charles Piot, author of /Remotely Global: Village Modernity in West Africa /For more information: <http://www.dukeupress.edu/books.php3?isbn=8223-3739-8> -- Emma Boyer Duke University Press Publicity Assistant 905 West Main Street Suite 18B Durham, NC 27701 Tel: (919) 687-3650 Fax: (919) 688-4391 eboyer@dukeupress.edu <http://dukeupress.edu <http://dukeupress.edu/>
