Over the course of a long career, Brian Morris has created an impressive body of engaging and insightful writings - from social anthropology and ethnography to politics, history and philosophy - that have made these subjects accessible to the layperson without sacrificing analytical rigor. But until now, the essays collected here, originally published in obscure journals and magazines, have been largely unavailable to the broad readership to which they are suited. Morris's work takes an interdisciplinary approach that moves seamlessly among topics.
