Prickly Pear Pamphlet No. 2. Sahlins was a University of Chicago anthropologist. " WAITING FOR FOUCAULT " might be said to be a structuralist's rejoinder to the post-structuralist vogue which swept through anthropology in recent years. It was given as an after-dinner speech at the fourth decennial conference of the Association of Social Anthropologists held at Oxford in July, 1993." "The pamphlets will be provocative and entertaining, cheap and pocket-sized. Like the prickly pear, they will come in several colours - red, yellow, green and more besides."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
