Offering vivid case studies that range from the Middle East and Africa to Europe, Russia, and Southeast Asia, the contributing anthropologists narrate particular circumstances of social and political transformation-in contexts of colonialism, war and its aftermath, social movements, and post-Cold War climates-from the standpoints of ordinary people caught up in and having to cope with the collapse or reconfiguration of the states in which they live.\u003cbr\u003eUsing grounded ethnographic detail to explore the challenges to the anthropological imagination that are posed by modern uncertainties, the contributors confront the ambiguities and paradoxes that exist across the spectrum of human cultures and geographies. The collection is framed by introductory and concluding chapters that highlight different dimensions of the book's interrelated themes-agency and ethnographic reflexivity, identity and ethics, and the inseparability of political economy and interpretivism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEthnography in Unstable Places\u003c\/i\u003e will interest students and specialists in social anthropology, sociology, political science, international relations, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors.\u003c\/i\u003e Eve Darian-Smith, Howard J.
