It marks a path that shows us a way toward a productive and influential anthropological future. -Paul Stoller, Anthropology, West Chester University Paula Uimonen was one of the first anthropologists to study the Internet; now as her lively writing about the global connections of an African art college interweaves with rich website materials, Digital Drama makes us think about how new tools can change the ethnographic craft. This is intriguing twenty-first century anthropology! -Ulf Hannerz, Social Anthropology, Stockholm University Author InformationPaula Uimonen is the Director of the Swedish Program for ICT in Developing Regions (Spider), Department of Computer and Systems Science, Stockholm University.
