Beskrivning
Inequality is currently gaining considerable attention in academic, policy, and media circles. From Thomas Piketty to Robert Putnam, there is no shortage of economic, sociological, or political analyses. But what does anthropology, with its focus on the qualitative character of relationships between people, have to offer? Drawing on current scholarship and illustrative ethnographic case studies, McGill argues that anthropology is particularly well suited to interrogating global inequality, not just within nations, but across nations as well.Brief, accessibly written, and peppered with vivid ethnographic examples that bring contemporary research to life, Global Inequality is an introduction to the topic from a unique and important perspective.

Recensioner i media

"This is a welcome anthropological college textbook on surveying global human inequalities across differentworld regions, nation-states, and local cultural responses and initiatives. It accessibly discusses a complex andimportant subject now constantly studied and increasingly debated for creating new inequalities." - R. S. Khare, Anthropos "Drawing from the fields of anthropology, economics, history, political science, philosophy, and more, McGill weaves together a tapestry to support the book’s overarching argument: inequality is real, there is no primary form of inequality, and inequalities are multiple and overlapping."- Leo McCann, University of York (Agric. and Human Values, vol 35)
