Anthropologies of Value analyses the creation of value in a wide
range of political and cultural contexts. This edited collection
includes anthropological case studies from around the globe; from
the commodification of a Venezuelan waterfall to the relative value
of penguins in periods of imperialist expansion. Questioning the
validity of binary oppositions such as 'north/south',
'core/periphery' and 'west/the rest' as the basis of
generalisations about culturally-mediated engagements with
capitalism, this collection leaves no stone unturned in its search
to understand and define anthropological value theory. It provides
much-needed, controversial new material for students of
anthropology, and proposes an alternative, rarely discussed method
of studying the world system which challenges mainstream existing
work in the field.
