\"HierarchyHIERARCHY AND VALUE<\/a>
\nComparative Perspectives on Moral Order
\nEdited by Jason Hickel and Naomi Haynes
\nAfterword by David Graeber<\/p>\n

Volume 7, Studies In Social Analysis<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Globalization promised to bring about a golden age of liberal individualism, breaking down hierarchies of kinship, caste, and gender around the world and freeing people to express their true, authentic agency. But in some places globalization has spurred the emergence of new forms of hierarchy-or the reemergence of old forms-as people try to reconstitute an imagined past of stable moral order. This is evident from the Islamic revival in the Middle East to visions of the 1950s family among conservatives in the United States. Why does this happen and how do we make sense of this phenomenon? Why do some communities see hierarchy as desireable? In this book, leading anthropologists draw on insightful ethnographic case studies from around the world to address these trends. Together, they develop a theory of hierarchy that treats it both as a relational form and a framework for organizing ideas about the social good.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The past decades have seen significant urban insurrections worldwide, and this volume analyzes some of them from an anthropological perspective; it argues that transformations of urban class relationships must be approached in a way that is both globally informed and deeply embedded in local and popular histories, and contends that every case of urban mobilization should be understood against its precise context in the global capitalist transformation.<\/p>\n

\nEdited by Roland Littlewood and Rebecca Lynch<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDespite high levels of unpredictability and uncertainty, and in some instances even the failure of miracles, what is most striking is the universal and powerful incentive and motivation behind this search. In terms of the book\u2019s wider contribution, it provides an effective and timely response to the current comparative biomedical focus within medical anthropology, by reconnecting with its social origins.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Anthropology & Medicine<\/strong><\/p>\n
