Description:

Contributes various new analyses and approaches to the issue of community - such as destabilization in the global context, cultural absoluteness, separation of community and culture, compartmentalized communities.

Synopsis:

'Community' is so overused both in everyday language as well as in scholarly work that it could easily be dismissed as a truism. However, the persistence of the term itself shows that the idea continues to resonate powerfully in our daily lives, ethnographic accounts as well as theoretical analyses. This book returns a timely and concerted anthropological gaze to community as part of a broader consideration of contemporary circumstances of social affiliation and solidarity.
