Globalization promised to bring about a golden age of liberal
individualism, breaking down hierarchies of kinship, caste, and
gender around the world and freeing people to express their true,
authentic agency. But in some places globalization has spurred the
emergence of new forms of hierarchy-or the reemergence of old
forms-as people try to reconstitute an imagined past of stable
moral order. This is evident from the Islamic revival in the Middle
East to visions of the 1950s family among conservatives in the
United States. Why does this happen and how do we make sense of
this phenomenon? Why do some communities see hierarchy as
desireable? In this book, leading anthropologists draw on
insightful ethnographic case studies from around the world to
address these trends. Together, they develop a theory of hierarchy
that treats it both as a relational form and a framework for
organizing ideas about the social good.
