ANTH 189M PO - The Anthropology of Nonstate Societies
CrsNo ANTH189M PO
When Offered: One-time only; spring 2013.
Instructor(s): C. Hammons
This course explores the anthropology of societies that are not only different from the state, but seem to be designed in opposition to it. Focusing on ethnography, it examines classical narratives of state formation, the counter narratives that question them, and nonstate peoples in the modern era, when the reach of the state changed dramatically with new kinds of technology. How have nonstate societies reacted to the extended reach of the state and how might they react to a globalized world in which the power of the state may be diminished by market forces and nonstate actors?
