Knowing Your Place

Descripción

Bringing together noted anthropologists and literary scholars, Knowing Your Place explores rural identity in a number of cultures and situations. Essays examine the distinction between popular and high culture, the explosion of high technology, the impact of environmental policy, the role of labor in the global marketplace, museum representations, and postcolonial politics. Throughout, the essays address the many ways in which place identity alters and influences the experiences of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and nationality.
