Reviews
Lawyer-turned-anthropologist, Sally Falk Moore has had one of the most diverse careers in anthropology... Comparing Impossibilities - a collection of Moore's most famous essays on law, anthropology, and Africa - celebrates the breadth and diversity of her career through two different themes: those of processual anthropology and comparative methods. ...Overall, Comparing Impossibilities is a remarkable overview of Sally Falk Moore's career and contribution to the field of anthropology at large, with a specific focus on her work in Tanzania and in legal anthropology - and especially regarding the transfer of land rights... [it] remains a brilliant demonstration of the ways in which anthropologists can mediate the tension between the ambition to account for situations in process, and the temporal 'impossibilities' that arise from the need to do so through their comparison.

Synopsis
In an unusual life course, Sally Falk Moore went from lawyering in an elite New York law firm to the Nuremberg trials, and from there to an academic career in anthropology at Harvard, first doing archival work related to Inca Peru, then intermittent fieldwork in Africa that stretched over many years. She worked on political questions on Kilimanjaro while the area was subject to a period of mandatory Tanzanian socialism. This book offers a selection of her varied work--the history of her thought as she reflects on fragments of her autobiography, and on the theoretical ideas that emerged as she interpreted anthropological materials. Here are essays spanning a lifetime of reflection and engagement with the human condition, ranging from myths of incest and sexuality to the study of planned development projects that produced unplanned developments. This collection is nothing less than a banquet of serious anthropological tastings from one of anthropology's master chefs--a lifetime comparison of both possibilities and impossibilities for anthropology., Few scholars have had a more varied career than Sally Falk Moore. Once a lawyer for an elite New York law firm, her career has led her to the Nuremberg trials where she prepared cases against major industrialists, to Harvard, to the Spanish archives where she studied the Inca political system, and to the mountain of Kilimanjaro where she studied the politics of Tanzanian socialism. This book offers a compelling tour of Moore's diverse experiences, a history of her thought as she reflects on her life and thought in the disciplines of anthropology, law, and politics. The essays range from studies of myths of incest and sexuality to those of economic development projects, from South America to Africa. The result is an astonishing assortment of works from one of the most respected legal anthropologists in the field, one who brought together disparate places and ideas in enriching comparisons that showcase the possibilities--and impossibilities--of anthropology.
