“Michael Jackson has long been a source of inspiration for those of us interested in pushing the boundaries of anthropological writing, providing us with regular and often much-needed reminders of the high ethical stakes of such writerly experimentation. <i>The Genealogical Imagination</i> will be of immense interest to anthropologists, literary scholars, students and teachers of creative writing, and anyone interested in the expressive possibilities of writing as a means of exploring the ways in which humans exist in time.”

- Stuart McLean, author of, Fictionalizing Anthropology: Encounters and Fabulations at the Edges of the Human

“I already have the sense that <i>The Genealogical Imagination</i> will not leave me alone in the years to come—that I will be haunted by it and worked upon by it in the way I am worked over by the stories of my own forebears. <i>The Genealogical Imagination</i> is an anthropological tour de force. It will inhabit the imagination of generations of anthropologists to come.”

- Lisa Stevenson, author of, Life beside Itself: Imagining Care in the Canadian Arctic
