Description
Friction: An Ethnography of Global Connection by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing explores how social interactions shape our world. In this thought-provoking work, Tsing challenges the idea that globalization always leads to cultural clashes.
The author examines the complex relationships between environmentalists, investors, and local communities in Indonesia's rainforests during the 1980s and 1990s. Through her research, Tsing reveals how competing interests can lead to unpredictable misunderstandings, yet sometimes result in unexpected outcomes.
With a new preface by the author, Friction offers valuable insights into methods for studying global connections. This book provides a nuanced understanding of the social frictions that underpin our interconnected world.
