This lauding review by David Graeber surprised me. Not only because it was so gushingly positive but because I was surprised that someone of this caliber would review some random PhD study in book form. Then again, publishers often push their products by having some big-name person give an overlypositive review for money or perks.
I have read anthropological studies by other people. I have been privy to their process of creating those studies. Most of them were much better than what I read there. It may all be subjective and I don't know the process, but I can only assume that Nazima Kadir - like many other people - is good at getting her work out there. At the end of the day she is milking this one for many years already. We shall see what she is made of if she ever produces something else.
Good question

I am not holding my breath though.
