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.
