This is scholarly, sophisticated, unsparing, courageous political thinking, far removed from the shams, slogans, shibboleths, stupidities, and silliness of much of the political comment and conditioning purveyed by our mass media – even by our elected “representatives” ... This is an admirable work that will fertilise the rugged field of the anthropology of politics for decades to come. All academic libraries need it. It would also be a salutary Christmas present choice for our pet political representative, an earnest hope of a positive revolution in political theory and practice.” \u003ci\u003eReference Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis \u003ci\u003eCompanion\u003c\/i\u003e offers an unprecedented overview of anthropology’s unique contribution to the study of politics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the key concepts and issues of our time - from AIDS, globalization, displacement, and militarization, to identity politics and beyond\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter reflects on concepts and issues that have shaped the anthropology of politics and concludes with thoughts on and challenges for the way ahead\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnthropology's distinctive genre, ethnography, lies at the heart of this volume\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eSynopsis of Contents viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes on Contributors xvi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJoan Vincent\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Affective States 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnn Laura Stoler\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 After Socialism 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKatherine Verdery\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 AIDS 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrooke Grundfest Schoepf\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Citizenship 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAihwa Ong\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Cosmopolitanism 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUlf Hannerz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Development 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarc Edelman and Angelique Haugerud\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Displacement 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eElizabeth Colson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Feminism 121\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMalathi de Alwis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Gender, Race, and Class 135\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMicaela di Leonardo\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Genetic Citizenship 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeborah Heath, Rayna Rapp, and Karen-Sue Taussig\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 The Global City 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSaskia Sassen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Globalization 179\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJonathan Friedman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Governing States 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavid Nugent\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Hegemony 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGavin Smith\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Human Rights 231\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRichard Ashby Wilson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Identity 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eArturo Escobar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Imagining Nations 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAkhil Gupta\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Infrapolitics 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSteven Gregory\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 ‘‘Mafias’’ 303\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJane C. and Peter T.
