"This welcome volume collects 12 essays addressing problems in the
analysis of sociocultural values and sociocultural hierarchy, in
dialogue with ideas of Dumont." . American Ethnologist
Louis Dumont's concept of hierarchy continues to inspire social
scientists. Using it as their starting point, the contributors to
this volume introduce both fresh empirical material and new
theoretical considerations. On the basis of diverse ethnographic
contexts in Oceania, Asia, and the Middle East they challenge some
current conceptions of hierarchical formations and reassess former
debates - of post-colonial and neo-colonial agendas, ideas of
"democratization" and "globalization," and expanding market
economies - both with regard to new theoretical issues and the new
world situation.
