'This is a fine book and a superb guide for students reading ethnographic texts. Drawing upon a judicious sampling of ethnographies from many epochs and parts of the world, the authors succeed brilliantly in disclosing the complex character of every essay in human understanding, as well as inspiring anthropologists to ponder the notion of comparison in radically new ways.'Michael D. Jackson, Harvard University, USA 'With veritable cartographic genius, the authors lead us across the fascinating terrain of ethnography and its diverse interlocuters. This second edition moves some important new horizons into sight. As surefooted and perspicacious as ever, the way our guides have us pause to take bearings on the journey gives fresh impetus to teaching and learning.'Marilyn Strathern, University of Cambridge, UK

'There is a major and dominant image of anthropology, presenting it as the result of a sequence of progressive and ascending stages (fieldwork, ethnography, anthropological theory) toward a ‘science of mankind’. How to Read Ethnography documents, analyses, and exposes another image of the discipline –minor, interstitial, and much more interesting: the practice of anthropology as a movement of continuous and reversible variations between the dimensions of a knowledge that can only be built at the crossroads of what we learn in the field and what we read in the library.'Marcio Goldman, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

‘With an irreverent verve wholly befitting their subject matter, Raminder Kaur and Saif Eqbal take us on a magical mystery tour of north Indian superhero comics, a genre which, despite its ubiquity and its tremendous popularity, has until now not been given the dignity of a full-scale analysis. From its humble beginnings to its current multi-mediated Indofuturistic avatars, Kaur and Eqbal offer us a fascinatingly different globalization story. So, get ready: here be superpowers!’
William Mazzarella, Neukom Family Professor and Chair, Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago, USA

‘An enthralling journey into the worlds of the superheroes of north India’s vernacular adventure comics: colourful, larger than life and distinctively desi. Two enthusiasts share their passion, exemplary fieldwork and historical and textual research to make an exciting contribution to our understanding of contemporary popular youth culture in mofussil India, from the golden age of the 1980s action heroes and superheroines to today’s millennial, Indofuturist fantasies. Insightful and enormous fun.’
Rosie Thomas,Professor of Film, Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media, University of Westminster, UK. 

‘This fascinating and rich study of the popular visual culture of Indian adventure comics is a timely and well-researched contribution on how India’s socio-economic and political transformation from the 1980s has shaped young readers’ imaginaries of the nation’s position in a globalizing world. It convincingly brings to the fore how these ‘superhero’ graphic media reflect complex turbulences related to diverse forms of knowledge production and circulation, to changes in labour and gender roles, and to the different facets and faces of nationalist dystopia and ‘Indo-futurism’.’ 
Christiane Brosius, Professor of Visual and Media Anthropology, Heidelberg Centre for Transcultural Studies, University of Heidelberg, Germany 

‘A timely volume in our current age of surging nationalism in different parts of the world. The super hero comics in India are analysed visually and verbally to offer critical insights into its youth culture and its complex landscape of desire, action and political conflict. With its focus on the intersection of the transnational and the vernacular, the book enables us to grasp the slippery terrain of South Asian globalization amidst uneven modernity and the reworking of indigenous philosophies for contemporary times.’ 
Parul Dave Mukherji, Professor, School of Arts and Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India
