"A deeply insightful book that connects the dots of the hidden
systems that have subverted democracy and caused the type of
desperation and anger that result in a 9/11. A book that opens our
awareness."--John Perkins, author of The New York Times bestseller
"Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man"
"Anyone interested in global economic crime should read this
book."--Charmian Gooch, a founding director of Global Witness
""Global Outlaws" is a revealing book about a global trend whose
importance is still far from being fully recognized."--Moises Naim,
Editor in Chief of "Foreign Policy Magazine" and author of
"Illicit: How Smugglers Traffickers and Copycats are Hijacking the
Global Economy"
"Carolyn Nordstrom's important new book takes us on a dark journey
through war-torn landscapes riddled with corruption, violence, and
gross inequalities. It is a compelling study--one guided by the
norms of scholarly research but also written out of deeply felt
experience. A book infused by anger, compassion, but also
hope."--Andrew Mack, University of British Columbia
"This is a fascinating, insightful, and important ethnographic
study of the intersection of crime, finance, and power in the
illegal, 'informal', or underground economy. I have read all of
Carolyn Nordstrom's books, and this is the best one yet."--Jeff
Sluka, Massey University
"Carolyn Nordstrom's "Global Outlaws" is a rare and remarkable
fusion of economic anthropology and travel writing. The prose is
highly engaging without being sensationalistic. This is a timely
and fascinating read for anyone looking for an on-the-ground
account of the clandestine underside of globalization."--Peter
Andreas, co-author of "Policing theGlobe: Criminalization and Crime
Control in International Relations"
"Carolyn Nordstrom is the best fieldworker in anthropology, bar
none. Yet again she has pioneered new fieldsites and new forms of
ethnography in this book, as well as presented a new framework for
viewing economics and economic power. This is undoubtedly a highly
important work that sets new frontiers for anthropology."--Monique
Skidmore, Australian National University
