This innovative reader brings together classic theoretical texts
and cutting-edge ethnographic analyses of specific state
institutions, practices, and processes and outlines an
anthropological framework for rethinking future study of “the
state”.
- Focuses on the institutions, spaces, ideas, practices, and representations that constitute the “state”.
- Promotes cultural and transnational approaches to the subject.
- Helps readers to make anthropological sense of the state as a cultural artifact, in the context of a neoliberalizing, transnational world.
