Prickly Paradigm Press
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prickly Paradigm Press is a new incarnation of Prickly Pear Pamphlets, which was started in 1993, in Cambridge, England, by anthropologists Keith Hart and Anna Grimshaw. Together they published a series of ten pamphlets on a range of topics in anthropology, the history of science, and ethnographic film. In 1998, Mark Harris and Matthew Engelke took over the press, expanding its operations in the world market and adding a select few titles to its list. In 2001, Marshall Sahlins took over the press, renamed it Prickly Paradigm, and in the process transformed it into a first class press with titles in the social sciences and humanities from a number of well-known academics and intellectuals including the following:
- Paradigm 1: Waiting for Foucault, Still by Marshall Sahlins
- Paradigm 2: War of the Worlds: What about Peace? by Bruno Latour
- Paradigm 3: Against Bosses, Against Oligarchies: A Conversation with Richard Rorty by Richard Rorty, Derek Nystrom, and
- Paradigm 5: New Consensus for Old: Cultural Studies from Left to Right by Thomas Frank
- Paradigm 8: "The Companion Species Manifesto" by Donna Haraway
