Editorial Reviews
Stephen Greenblatt, University of California, Berkeley
'Greg Dening is the most brilliant ethno-historian writing today. His work combines rigor; intellectual intensity, and a unique personal presence. Performances is a wonderful sampling of his profound reflections on the mythic structures we call 'history.'' - --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Marshall Sahlins, author of How 'Natives' Think
'This work is erudite, entertaining, and aesthetically satisfying. Dening's prose is often lyrical and frequently startling either by its humour or its sudden insightfulness. His reflexive historiographic style all hangs our wonderfully and coherently.' - --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
