[edit] Links and References

I just found the following, which may be of interest also to others (e.g. in light of the "relevance" controversy):

1) A review in the __NYTimes__ of Jan.7th 2001 ("God's Work")

2) Another one in __Current Anthropology 39__ (No.1) / Feb.1998/ pp.176-177

3) __Harvard U. Press__, Book catologue, with photograph and reviewers' statements from various larger U.S.-American newspapers.

4) The website of the __American Anthropol. Assoc.__ at "www.aaanet.org", under "Recent Books of Interest".

5) The staff pages of the U. Chicago (including a photograph of her, which however seems to be currently blocked from view by some technical problem).

- The Reviewers seem to be full of praise; see esp. her colleagues' statement in (4) listing her under "one of the most acknowledged younger Amer. Anthropologists" or sth. like that, which seems to indicate that she is indeed not completely irrelevant to the world of her profession.

> Disclaimer: I don't know the lady myself, so I am in no way "pro" or "contra"; neither am I a social scientist, nor American. I just happened to find her "Witchcraft" book in a large Univ. Inst. library (in Europe) last Friday, found it very well written, and got interested in her person, so I ended up here and did a quick Web search. That's all.
