Beskrivning
In this book distinguished anthropologist June Nash demonstrates how ethnography can illuminate a wide array of global problems. She describes encounters with an urban U.S. community undergoing de-industrialization, with Mandalay rice cultivators accommodating to post-World War II independence through animistic pratices, with Mayans mobilizing for autonomy, and with Andean peasants and miners confronting the International Monetary Fund. Havin worked in a great variety of cultural settings around the world, Nash challenges us to expand our anthropological horizons and to think about local problems in a global manner.

Recensioner i media

For the past fifty years June Nash has been consistently five or ten years ahead of her time. The topics on which she has made ground breaking interventions—feminist theory, local-global relations, ethnography of powerful institutions, consciousness and resistance, social movements, indigenous empowerment, militarization and empire, ethics and politics of research— document anthropology's major preoccupations since the 1950s. This volume offers a comprehensive record of Nash's achievements confirms her place as one of the most influential and accomplished anthropologists of our times. We are well advised to read closely, to appreciate how she has shaped our field, and to glean some clues about what is coming next.
