“This thoughtful collection of essays on landscapes is largely inspired by the recent writings of Chris Tilley and Tim Ingold, whose own contributions bookend the other papers in the volume…What this volume does is open up some space for further imaginative wanderings and questions about the precise manner in which both residents and scholars are socially disciplined or culturally conditioned to read different landscapes.” · The Australian Journal of Anthropology
“The main theoretical aim of the book, to move beyond a dichotomy between experience and structure in the anthropological study of landscape, is important and makes a lot of sense in relation to the existing literature on the topic… [T]his new collection is timely,…exceptionally rich and interesting and clearly demonstrate that anthropological thinking on landscape is alive and well.” · Paola Fillipucci, Cambridge University
