Dependency and Development: An Introduction to the Third World

( This book draws upon data and theories from economics, ...)

This book draws upon data and theories from economics, political science, anthropology, demography, and environmental studies to provide a broad interdisciplinary overview of the Third World. A brief history shows how the expansion of Europe in the 15th century created dependencies in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The Third World is shown to be not a natural or innate phenomenon, but a consequence of its relationship to the First World that involved economic dependency, rapid population growth, inflated and internationally supplied militaries, and governments trying to provide attractive investment climates for huge multinational corporations. Traditional agriculture, world markets, models of development, human rights violations, environmental degradation, and the demographic transition are examined from a balanced theoretical perspective that synthesizes modernization and dependency approaches.

Political Anthropology: An Introduction, 2nd Edition

( In the foreword to the first edition, renowned anthropo...)

In the foreword to the first edition, renowned anthropologist, Victor Turner, wrote that this book was a succinct and lucid account of the sporadic growth of political anthropology over the past four decades . . . the introduction we have all been waiting for. Unique in its field, this book offers a comprehensive overview of political anthropology, including its history, its major research findings, and its theoretical concerns both past and present. The second edition has been significantly updated and expanded, with extensive changes in many chapters, three additional chapters, and a new conclusion. It serves as a basic text and structure for a full course. In a clearly written style, this introduction also provides the background necessary for further study. The revised chapters cover such topics as the development of political anthropology, the origin of the state, religion and politics, and political theory. One added chapter will bring the reader up to date on the feminist studies of the 1980s. Another on people against the state summarizes a dominant recent trend of researching the ways that underclasses non-violently manipulate governments to their own advantage. And a third, on ethnicity and retribalization, focuses on how subcultural enclaves politically adapt to modernization. The wholly rewritten conclusion summarizes major theoretical trends of the 1980s and 1990s and offers insight on future developments.

The third edition has been significantly updated and expanded, with extensive changes in many chapters, two new chapters, a new Preface that replaces the Introduction of the first two editions, an updated Glossary and Suggested Readings list, and an expanded Bibliography.

As with the earlier editions, this third edition of what has become a classic in the discipline still serves as a basic text and structure for a full course.
