"Ethnography in Unstable Places" is a collection of ethnographic
accounts of everyday situations in places undergoing dramatic
political transformation. Offering vivid case studies that range
from the Middle East and Africa to Europe, Russia, and Southeast
Asia, the contributing anthropologists narrate particular
circumstances of social and political transformation--in contexts
of colonialism, war and its aftermath, social movements, and
post-Cold War climates--from the standpoints of ordinary people
caught up in and having to cope with the collapse or
reconfiguration of the states in which they live.
Using grounded ethnographic detail to explore the challenges to the
anthropological imagination that are posed by modern uncertainties,
the contributors confront the ambiguities and paradoxes that exist
across the spectrum of human cultures and geographies. The
collection is framed by introductory and concluding chapters that
highlight different dimensions of the book's interrelated
themes--agency and ethnographic reflexivity, identity and ethics,
and the inseparability of political economy and
interpretivism.
"Ethnography in Unstable Places" will interest students and
specialists in social anthropology, sociology, political science,
international relations, and cultural studies.
