"This book is a useful addition to the ever-increasing literature
exploring the history of the anthropological discipline. Through
its examination of particular case studies, it suggests many useful
lines of inquiry for anyone exploring the histories of anthropology
in different geographical localities."
*Museum Anthropology Review*
"This volume can bring useful information to anthropologists,
museum specialists, and historians of anthropology. . . . Maybe the
most important contribution of this work to the wider academic and
social discussions on anthropology and colonialism is its balanced
and nuanced approach."
*AP: Online Journal in Public Archaeology*
“The ambitious range of case studies and their broad time span is
impressive and draws on a vast range of resources, making the
essays both scholarly and relevant.... Collecting, Ordering,
Governing expands the notion of the museum phase of
anthropology.”
*Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute*
