Reviews / Votes
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book"There is nothing else like it. . . . The best introduction to conversation analysis for an anthropologist and the only example of the full-scale employment of it in a non-Western culture."-Charles O. Frake, Stanford University
"Talking Culture tackles an important task-bringing conversation analysis and ethnography into a fruitful rapprochement. . . . [Moerman's] insights into the construction of inequality between Thai peasants and officials provide us with a sense of just how fruitful the marriage of conversation analysis and ethnography can be."-American Anthropologist
