Description: Anthropology of Power : Empowerment and Disempowerment in Changing Structures, Hardcover by Cheater, Angela P. (EDT), ISBN 0415193885, ISBN-13 9780415193887, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Presents case studies from a range of societies and discusses what is really happening when people talk about "empowering" others. Contributors question whether power is actually being transferred to the powerless, drawing on ethnographic material from Europe, the Middle East, Australasia, Africa, and the Americas to explore how traditionally disempowered groups gain influence in postcolonial and multicultural settings. They survey relationships between empowerment and economic development, gender, and environmentalism. They confront post-Foucauldian theoretical issues on the nature, distribution, and balance of power, and ask whether the rhetoric of empowerment actually masks a lack of change in established power relations.
