The French scholar Marc Abeles is one of the leading political and philosophical anthropologists of our time. He is perhaps the leading anthropologist writing on the state and globalization. Thinking beyond the State, a distillation of his work to date, is a superb introduction to his contributions to both anthropology and political philosophy...
An argument that in the era of globalization, survival-outlasting the uncertainties and threats of a precarious future-has supplanted harmonious coexistence as the primary goal of politics.
This ethnographic study of political life in the department of the Yonne, in the Burgundy region, explores a still richly Balzacian provincial world. The author, a French anthropologist, has extensive field experience in Ethiopia. Drawing on local history, interviews and participant observation, Abeles develops a fresh perspective on political life in France.
