Renee Rose Shield gives us an inside look at the diamond industry. Her stories sparkle with warmth, humor, and insight., "Renee Rose Shield gives us an inside look at the diamond industry. Her stories sparkle with warmth, humor, and insight."--Eli Izhakoff, Chairman and CEO, World Diamond Council, New York's diamond business is an insular world. Yet thanks to introductions from relatives in the business, anthropologist Shield gained access to the industry's inner sanctum: West 47th Street in Manhattan.... This modest, accessible if somewhat academic volume... covers a lot of ground.... The book offers a window into an enigmatic sector of society that, as Shield ably portrays, balances on the cusp between the traditional and the modern., True to its subject, the complex world of the contemporary diamond merchant, this book offers a multi-faceted, well written, and sensitively rendered account of why this precious gemstone has taken hold of both our imagination and our pocketbooks., "Thanking Uncles Moishe and Shmiel is more than a scholar's nod to family forbearance in Diamond Stories. For Renee Rose Shield . . . her uncles were her ethnographic entree. Their good names and many decades in New York's diamond trade gave her access to the inner sancta of the midtown industry."-Nina C. Ayoub, Chronicle of Higher Education, 5/31/02, "Shield has done an excellent job revealing the hidden world of the diamond trade. . . anyone interested in a behind-the-scenes look at the diamond world will find themselves satisfied."--Rabbi Rachel Esserman, The Reporter, June 20, 2003, "Rene interviewed diamond dealers, brokers, and manufacturers (the majority of them Orthodox or Hasidic Jews), and then merged her findings with anthropological observations."--Toby Rossner, East Side Marketplace, Thanking Uncles Moishe and Shmiel is more than a scholar's nod to family forbearance in Diamond Stories . For Renee Rose Shield... her uncles were her ethnographic entree. Their good names and many decades in New York's diamond trade gave her access to the inner sancta of the midtown industry., "Renee Rose Shield explores the fascinating world of diamond traders in a lively and engaging narrative, weaving together economics, geology, business, sociology, and culture."--Helen Fremont, author of After Long Silence: A Memoir, "New York's diamond business is an insular world.

The author captures the trading environment, the negotiation rituals, and the sardonic wit and 'folklore' with a sympathetic insider's view and without the stereotypes and clichs to which others have fallen prey. Throughout the book, she relates how diamond dealers admonished her to 'get the tone right.' That she has done very well."-Russell Shor, Gemological Institute of America.

In fact, much of the recent Internet Revolution was built on the notion of creating new markets . . . where everything from steel to freelance services could be traded.
