AFTER THE PINK TIDE<\/a>
Corporate State Formation and New Egalitarianisms in Latin America<\/strong>
Edited by Marina Gold and Alessandro Zagato<\/em>

The left-wing Pink Tide movement that swept across Latin America seems now to be overturned, as a new wave of free-market thinkers emerge across the continent. This book analyses the emergence of corporate power within Latin America and the response of egalitarian movements across the continent trying to break open the constraints of the state. Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SERIES: EGALITARIANISM<\/a>
Editor: <\/strong>Bruce Kapferer, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of Bergen, and Honorary Professor, University College London<\/em>

Although frequently understood as having originated in the European Enlightenment and discussed as a key concept of a Western modernity, egalitarianism is conceived here as an energy underpinning most human action when confronted with forms of oppression that deny, destroy, inhibit or limit the achievement of human potential. The volumes in this series contribute to the general understanding of egalitarian processes and the barriers to their realization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MANAGEMENT AND MORALITY<\/a>
An Ethnographic Exploration of Management Consultancy Seminars<\/strong>
Erik Henningsen<\/em>

Drawing on extended ethnographic studies of management consultancies in the Oslo region of Norway, this book seeks to find a richer understanding of their role in contemporary work life and the attraction their practices exert on people. The author shows that management consultancy is an arena of meaning that should be analysed as a \u2018cultural space\u2019. Read more.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editors: <\/strong>Jakob Krause-Jensen, Aarhus University<\/em>
Emil Andr\u00e9 R\u00f8yrvik, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)<\/em>
We dedicate much of our lives to work, and work defines both people and their relationships to a great extent. The social and cultural processes of work require investigation, not least in our time of globalization and crises in capitalism. The series offers ethnography-based, anthropological analyses of work in its diverse contexts and manifestations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSTITUTIONALISED DREAMS<\/a>
The Art of Managing Foreign Aid<\/strong>
El\u017cbieta Dr\u0105\u017ckiewicz<\/em>

Using examples from Poland, El\u017cbieta Dr\u0105\u017ckiewicz explores the question of why states become donors and individuals decide to share their wealth with others through foreign aid. She comes to the conclusion that the concept of foreign aid requires the establishment of a specific moral economy which links national ideologies and local cultures of charitable giving with broader ideas about the global political economy. Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ON THE NERVOUS EDGE OF AN IMPOSSIBLE PARADISE<\/a>
Affect, Tourism, Belize<\/a>
Kenneth Little<\/em>

On the Nervous Edge of an Impossible Paradise<\/em> is a collection of seven stories about local lives in the fictional village of Wallaceville. They turn rogue in the face of runaway forces that take the form and figure of a Belize beast-time, which can appear as a comic mishap, social ruin, tragic excess, or wild guesses. Inciting the affective politics of life in the region, this fable of emergence evokes the unnerving uncertainties of life in the tourist state of Belize. Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revisiting Economic Calculation<\/strong>

SERIES: STUDIES IN SOCIAL ANALYSIS<\/a>
Editor: <\/strong>Martin Holbraad, University College London<\/em>
The focus of this series is on \u2018analysis\u2019, understood not as a synonym of ‘theory’, but as the fertile meeting-ground of the empirical and the conceptual. It provides a platform for exploring anthropological approaches to social analysis in all of their variety, and in doing so seeks also to open new avenues of communication between anthropology and the humanities as well as other social sciences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CREDIT AND DEBT IN AN UNEQUAL SOCIETY<\/a>
Establishing a Consumer Credit Market in South Africa<\/a>
J\u00fcrgen Schraten<\/em>

South Africa was one of the first countries in the Global South that established a financialized consumer credit market. This market consolidates rather than alleviates the extreme social inequality within a country. This book investigates the political reasons for adopting an allegedly self-regulating market despite its disastrous effects and identifies the colonialist ideas of property rights as a mainstay of the existing social order. Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SERIES: THE HUMAN ECONOMY<\/a>
Editors: <\/strong>Keith Hart, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, Goldsmiths, University of London<\/em>
Theodoros Rakopoulos, Associate Professor, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo<\/em>

Those social sciences and humanities concerned with the economy have lost the confidence to challenge the sophistication and public dominance of the field of economics. We need to give a new emphasis and direction to the economic arrangements that people already share, while recognizing that humanity urgently needs new ways of organizing life on the planet. This series examines how human interests are expressed in our unequal world through concrete economic activities and aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
