Informationen zum Autor Joan Vincent is Professor of Anthropology Emerita at Barnard College, Columbia University. She is the author of numerous books and articles, including Anthropology and Politics (1990, reissued 1995) and is currently working on an historical ethnography of the Irish famine. Klappentext Political anthropology has long been among the most vibrant subdisciplines within anthropology, and work done in this area has been instrumental in exploring some of the most significant issues of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, including (post)colonialism, development and underdevelopment, identity politics, nationalism / transnationalism, and political violence. In The Anthropology of Politics: A Reader in Ethnography, Theory, and Critique readers will find a remarkable collection of classic and contemporary articles on the subject. Following on from her landmark book on politics and anthropology, in this volume Joan Vincent provides a sweeping historical and theoretical introduction to the field. Selected readings from figures such as E. E. Evans-Pritchard, Edmund Leach, Victor Turner, Eric Wolf, Benedict Anderson, Talal Asad, Michael Taussig, Jean and John Comaroff, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak are enriched by Vincent's headnotes and suggestions for further reading. The Anthropology of Politics will prove an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and instructors alike. Zusammenfassung Work done within the area of political anthropology has been instrumental in exploring some of the most significant issues of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In this work readers will find a collection of classic and contemporary articles on the subject.
