Description

Ownership and Appropriation by Veronica Strang and Mark Busse explores how ownership is increasingly contested in a world with finite resources and widening inequalities. The authors examine the relationship between ownership, subjectivities, and personhood, highlighting the critical consequences of materiality and immateriality on what is owned. By approaching ownership as social communication and negotiation, this book offers a dynamic and processual understanding of property, ownership, and appropriation. It demonstrates how everyday notions and acts of owning and appropriating are central to anthropological theorizing and have major practical applications in policy, legislative development, and conflict resolution. This book significantly extends anthropology's concern with property by focusing on the complexities of ownership and appropriation in contemporary society.
