About the Author

By Michael Moerman

Review

"Talking Culture tackles an important task—bringing conversation analysis and ethnography into a fruitful rapprochement. . . . [Moerman's] insights into the construction of inequality between Thai peasants and officials provide us with a sense of just how fruitful the marriage of conversation analysis and ethnography can be."—American Anthropologist



Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book



"There is nothing else like it. . . . The best introduction to conversation analysis for an anthropologist and the only example of the full-scale employment of it in a non-Western culture."—Charles O. Frake, Stanford University
