This collection brings an anthropological perspective to bear on understanding the diverse modernities we face in the contemporary world. It provides a critical review of interpretations of development and modernity, supported by rigorous case studies from regions as diverse as Guatemala, Sri Lanka, West Africa and contemporary Europe. Together, the chapters in this volume demonstrate the crucial importance of looking to ethnography for guidance in shaping development policies. Ethnography can show how people's own agency transforms, recasts and complicates the modernities they experience. The contributors argue that explanations of change framed in terms of the dominantdiscourses and institutions of modernity are inadequate, and that we give closer attention to discourses, images, beliefs and practices that run counter to these yet play a part in shaping them and giving them meaning. Anthropology, Development and Modernities deals with the realities of people's everyday lives and dilemmas. It is essential reading for students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and development studies. It should also be read by all those actively involved in development work.Applied anthropologyDeveloping countriesRural developmentDeveloping countriesSocial changeDeveloping countriesViolenceDeveloping countriesDeveloping countriesSocial policyDeveloping countriesEconomic policyApplied anthropologyRural developmentSocial changeViolence306/.091724Arce Alberto1952-958990Long Norman145406MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910208842503321Anthropology, development, and modernities2172747UNINA
