-----------------
An international collection of ethnographic essays exploring the
anthropology of the Anthropocene
-----------------
About the book:
This collection explores social identities in today’s ‘overheated’ world,
seen from an anthropological perspective. The focus is on contradictions,
tensions and paradoxes: How can an identity be stable if its border is
constantly shifting? How can a community survive if it is incorporated into
a huge entity? How does belonging work in new cities? And what can
indigenous peoples do to retain a sense of self in a fast-moving modern
world? This book covers cases across the globe, including Philippines,
Israel, Australia, the Cape Verde Islands and Afghanistan.
-----------------
‘This provocative and ethnographically diverse volume illuminates the
complexities that shape attempts to reconcile social belonging and
self-consciousness in today’s world’ - Noel Dyck, Professor of Social
Anthropology, Simon Fraser University
‘Diverse and multifaceted’- Karen Fog Olwig, Professor of Anthropology at
the University of Copenhagen
