Book reviews have long been an (irregular) offering of the Zero Anthropology Magazine. Unlike the typical book review, which in academic journals is usually no longer than 750 words, and is thus forced to provide only a superficial overview of a book—our reviews are highly detailed breakdowns of the contents of any given book. Readers are thus already able to begin learning from a book, by reading our review. As a result of the dense concentration of information in our book reviews, whatever opinions we have to offer of a book usually stand out as abundantly justified and not unfair. Given the special nature of our reviews, the Zero Anthropology Magazine is sought out by a number of book publishers and authors who provide copies of books in return for the promise of a review. Book reviews are not as frequent or as numerous as documentary film reviews, since it takes substantially longer to review any given book. As of the date of the last time this page was edited, no reviews of special issues of journals have been published—they are coming soon. The date of the last edit here was July 2, 2019.
