Product Description
Are there multiple ways of being "modern" in the world today? Does the current focus on modernity in the social sciences resurrect the dichotomies ("traditional" and "modern," "the West" and "the Rest") that social scientists have sought to move beyond in recent years. This timely volume focuses the attention of leading anthropologists on the theory and ethnography of modernity.
