Reviews for The Power of the Between
"Through the years, Stoller has explored profound theoretical insights through dramatic and often humorous stories, moving between the domains of ethnography, fieldwork memoir, illness memoir, fiction, and scholarly articles. The Power of the Between is a memorable disciplinary memoir: vivid, eloquent, and laden with wisdom." - Kirin Narayan, author of My Family and Other Saints"
