Unsettled An Anthropology of the Jews

"...Konner's openness--to sources, to ideas--remains an overwhelming strength....[This book is characterized by] an urge to integrate multiple bodies of information, a skepticism that is turned as much against scientific certitude as it is against human illusions, a dark awareness of the tragic past wedded to what seems an unkillable optimism. With UNSETTLED the anthropologist has turned his attention to his own tribe, and the result is nothing less than inspiring.Konner, Melvin is the author of 'Unsettled An Anthropology of the Jews', published 2003 under ISBN 9780670032440 and ISBN 0670032441.
