Summary: A must read for those interested in inequality and conflict
Comment: This is an excellent collection of anthropolgical investigations of political resistance that charts new territory in the way that the political and the social are percieved. Moving away from a traditional "social movement" perspective, in which resistance is seen only in terms of levels of organization and results are seen only in terms of whether demands are met, the contributions to this anthology show that domination consists of more than just "states" and resistance can take place without organization and even where organizations appear to be cooperating with the state. I have not read all the essays, but some have been vital to my own work--such as Parnell's chapter on squatter settlements in the Phillippines where he shows that resistors can coopt the state (a vital concept I adopt in modified form in my book on street vendors in Mexico City). Another devastating chapter is Winans' "Hyenas on the Border" in which Winans brilliantly shows that witchcraft can form the basis of a dispersed form of resistance that responds to the uncertainties created by the juxtaposition of modernity and traditionalism.
