In this book distinguished anthropologist June Nash demonstrates how ethnography can illuminate a wide array of global problems. She describes encounters with an urban U.S. community undergoing de-industrialization, with Mandalay rice cultivators accommodating to post-World War II independence through animistic pratices, with Mayans mobilizing for autonomy, and with Andean peasants and miners confronting the International Monetary Fund. Havin worked in a great variety of cultural settings around the world, Nash challenges us to expand our anthropological horizons and to think about local problems in a global manner.

June C. Nash is Distinguished Professor Emerita at the City University of New York, Graduate Center and City College. She is the author of In the Eyes of the Ancestors: Belief and Behavior in a Mayan Community; We Eat the Mines and the Mines Eat Us: Dependency and Exploitation in Bolivian Mining Communities; and a family autobiography with Juan Rojas, I Spent My Life in the Mines. As a result of her engagement with feminist and working class movements, she has also co-edited with Helen Safa Sex and Class in Latin America, and Women and Change in Latin America; with M. Patricia Fernandez Kelly, Women, Men, and the International Division of Labor; and authored From Tank Town to High Tech: The Clash of Community and Industrial Cycles.
