"The Anthropology of Power" presents case studies from a wide range
of societies to examine the issues surrounding power and
empowerment and to question whether power is actually being
transferred to the powerless. This collection draws on ethnographic
material from Europe, the Middle East, Australasia, Africa and the
Americas exploring how traditionally disempowered groups gain
influence in postcolonial and multicultural settings, from civil
war to new communication technologies, from religious imperialism
to transnational mining investments. It surveys the relationships
between empowerment and economic development, gender and
environmentalism. The contributors confront post-Foucauldian
theoretical issues on the nature, distribution and balance of
power, and ask whether the rhetoric of "empowerment" actually masks
a lack of change in established power relations. This is a
wide-ranging international collection featuring contributors from
the UK, Portugal, Iceland, the Czech Republic, South Africa,
Zimbabwe, Canada, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
