Prickly Paradigm Press is a new incarnation of Prickly Pear Pamphlets, which was started in 1993, in Cambridge, England, by anthropologists Keith Hart and .[2] 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,[3] and re-published his own pamphlet (Waiting for Foucault) and also Richard Rorty's.[4] In 2004, scanned the original Prickly Pear pamphlets into a PDF format and made them freely available for distribution on the Internet.[5]
