This volume contains 14 original chapters focusing on various
aspects of economic organization and behaviour, mostly based on
empirical fieldwork conducted by the authors themselves. It is a
well-balanced collection of chapters on economic issues studied
anthropologically, not only in its geographical and theoretical
focus but also in showcasing work by established and emerging
researchers. "Chapters on Africa" take a close look at urban food
provisioning in Cameroon and an investigation into entrepreneurial
activities in the rapidly-changing economy of Cairo. Other chapters
examine places and cultures in Central Asia - property rights and
state power in Kazakhstan, and animal markets in Kashgar, Western
China. The buying and selling activities of ethnic groups within
larger societies such as Latin Americans in the USA and Gabor Roma
in Romania are highlighted. Concerning North America are chapters
on the trans-Atlantic (and global) art market, and on oil drilling
in Canada, while in Latin America, income disparities and
inequalities in Brazil, development in Colombia, and kin-like
compadrazgo networks in Mexico are analyzed. Historical Western
Europe and pre-historical Ecuador are also covered.
