Willem Assies died in 2010 at the age of 55. The various stages of
his career as a political anthropologist of Latin American
illustrate how astute a researcher he was. He had a keen eye for
the contradictions he observed during his fieldwork but also
enjoyed theoretical debate. A distrust of power led him not only to
attempt to understand "people without voice" but to work alongside
them so they could discover and find their own voice. Willem Assies
explored the messy, often untidy daily lives of people, with their
inconsistencies, irrationalities, and passions, but also with their
hopes, sense of beauty, solidarity, and quest for dignity. This
collection brings together some of Willem Assies's best, most
fascinating, and still highly relevant writings.
