Anthropological Perspectives on Global Challenges, Hardback Book

Anthropological Perspectives on Global Challenges Hardback

Edited by Emma Gilberthorpe

Part of the ASA Monographs series

Hardback

Description

This volume offers a snapshot of anthropological perspectives on global challenges.

Whilst it could not hope to represent the full scope of anthropological perspectives, those that are presented highlight some of the critical flaws embedded in such an all-encompassing notion.

The contributors reveal the possibilities of reimagining the ways in which ‘challenges’ are understood and addressed and demonstrate how a combination of deep understanding of the past and collaboration, cooperation and inclusive dialogue about the future, can improve the chances of positive action.

The collection thus not only shows us that perspectives must change, but also how that change might be realised.

Whilst the chapters are authored solely by anthropologists, this book is not solely for anthropologists.

The book is illustrative of the practical and theoretical insights that anthropology can offer those individuals, teams, and policy- and decision-makers engaged in research, mitigation and/or intervention practices in relation to the global challenges.

Beyond academia, it contributes to broader understandings of the challenges we collectively face at this point in time and how we might collectively and effectively address them.
