Michael D. Jackson is a postmodern anthropologist originally from New Zealand, currently teaching world religions at the Harvard Divinity School. His many books include the prize-winning Paths Toward a Clearing and At Home in the World, and he has also published three novels, a memoir, and six books of poetry. In his most recent work, Life Within Limits: Wellbeing in a World of Want, he uses his ongoing fieldwork in Sierra Leone to explore experiences of social injustice and existential dissatisfaction.
