“Stephen Murray emerges from these pages as a committed scholar, brilliant, incisive, tenacious, courageous, and—occasionally—grumpy and contentious. Invisible Contrarian demonstrates that signal contributions to the discipline can be made amid other work as more and more anthropologists are developing careers outside the academy.”—Andrea Laforet, coeditor of The Franz Boas Papers, Volume 2
“No other book assembles both papers by Stephen Murray and comments on his work. This is a treasure trove for any scholar working on Murray or wanting to know more about his work in either anthropology or queer studies. Invisible Contrarian will be the definitive Murray reference.”—Yves Winkin, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of anthropology and communication studies at the University of Liège
