About the Book

Paul Stoller has been writing a popular blog for the Huffington Post since 2011. Blogging, says Stoller, allows him to bring an anthropological perspective to contemporary debates, but it also makes him a better writer: snappier, more concise, and more focused on the connection he wants to make with readers. In this collection of selected blog posts, Stoller models good writing while sharing his insights on politics (including the emergence of "Trumpism" and the impact of ignorance on US political practices), higher education, social science, media, and well-being. In the process, he discusses the changing nature of scholarly communication and the academy's need for greater public engagement.

Review :
"At once passionate in his belief in the promise of public anthropology, and clear-eyed about the kinds of knowledge and language anthropology has to sacrifice as it adapts to digital media, Stoller does a marvelous job of chronicling his own adventure while inspiring others to try their own experiments in connecting to our contemporary media ecology." --Dominic Boyer, author of The Life Informatic: Newsmaking in the Digital Era "By re-charting his journey into the blogosphere, Paul Stoller actually shows us how he makes public anthropology more public. Through his process he reveals why critical cultural analysis--in the short form of blogging as well as in books and articles--is imperative to helping claim our collective humanity." --Gina Athena Ulysse, author of Why Haiti Needs New Narratives: A Post-Quake Chronicle "Adventures in Blogging offers a model for the future of writing anthropology. In 40 quick reads, Stoller provides food for thought and the material we so desperately need to hold rich discussion in any setting: the classroom, the conference hall, and even at the kitchen table." --Alisse Waterston, author of My Father's Wars: Migration, Memory, and the Violence of a Century
