“‘Anthropology of Our Times’ is a case in point. Bangstad was drawn to anthropology as an undergraduate in 1990s Norway by anthropologists’ prominence as public commentators. … Anthropologists-in-training and seasoned scholars alike will find both encouragement and direction in its pages.” (Robin Whitaker, Anthropos, Issue 113, 2018)
