Anthropology of Postindustrialism

<p>This volume explores how mechanisms of postindustrial capitalism affect places and people in peripheral regions and de-industrializing cities. While studies of globalization tend to emphasize localities newly connected to global systems this collection in contrast analyzes the disconnection of communities away from the market presenting a range of ethnographic case studies that scrutinize the framework of this transformative process analyzing new social formations that are emerging in the voids left behind by the de-industrialization and introducing a discussion on the potential impacts of the current economic and ecological crises on the hyper-mobile model that has characterized this recent phase of global capitalism and spatially uneven development. </p>
