Herzfeld argues that "modern" bureaucratically regulated societies
are no more "rational" or less "symbolic" than the societies
traditionally studied by anthropologists. He suggests that we
cannot understand national bureaucracies divorced from local-level
ideas about chance, personal character, social relationships and
responsibility.
"Herzfeld's book is extremely ambitious and will be of interest to
any anthropologist concerned with the study of bureaucracy,
organizational and institutional control, symbols and their power,
and social conflict. . . . Thoughtful and challenging."--Helen B.
Schwartzman, "American Ethnologist"
