Description: Voices from the Global Margin by William P. Mitchell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A senior anthropologist investigates how forces such as modernization, globalization, poverty, and Shining Path terrorism have radically altered the lifeways of peasants in the Peruvian Andes. Publisher Description Voices from the Global Margin looks behind the generalities of debates about globalization to explore the personal impact of global forces on the Peruvian poor. In this highly readable ethnography, William Mitchell draws on the narratives of people he has known for forty years, offering deep insight into how they have coped with extreme poverty and rapid population growth-and their creation of new lives and customs in the process. In their own passionate words they describe their struggles to make ends meet, many abandoning rural homes for marginal wages in Lima and the United States. They chronicle their terror during the Shining Path guerrilla war and the governments violent military response. Mitchells long experience as an anthropologist living with the people he writes about allows him to put the stories in context, helping readers understand the impact of the larger world on individuals and their communities. His book reckons up the human costs of the global economy, urging us to work toward a more just world. Author Biography William P. Mitchell is Professor of Anthropology and Freed Professor in the Social Sciences at Monmouth University in New Jersey.
