Bloomsbury Confronting the Present: Politically Engaged Anthropology - Global Issues

Explore how anthropology evolves in an interconnected world with this critical examination of politically engaged scholarship. The book addresses the traditional anthropological practice of distancing politics from subjects and examines how globalisation reshapes notions of difference and creates new avenues for political collective action. As old boundaries blur and new forms of differentiation emerge, this volume questions how anthropologists can design research and analysis that remains politically relevant and responsive to contemporary challenges. Part of the Global Issues series from Routledge, it bridges academic inquiry with real-world implications for understanding power, identity, and social change in modern contexts.
