Description

Reconceptualizing the Peasantry: Anthropology in Global Perspective by Michael Kearney In this groundbreaking work, anthropologist Michael Kearney challenges traditional notions of the "peasant" and its relevance to contemporary society. By situating rural communities within the context of a rapidly changing world, Kearney offers a fresh perspective on the ways in which people define themselves and their places within it. Kearney's book moves beyond a reconsideration of peasant studies, instead exploring how anthropology itself is shaped by global circumstances. This thought-provoking work provides new insights into the discipline's representation of its subjects and highlights the need for alternative theoretical approaches. 224 pages, paperback edition, published in 1996.
