The various stages of his career as a political anthropologist of Latin American illustrate how astute a researcher he was. He had a keen eye for the contradictions he observed during his fieldwork but also enjoyed theoretical debate. A distrust of power led him not only to attempt to understand “people without voice” but to work alongside them so they could discover and find their own voice. Willem Assies explored the messy, often untidy daily lives of people, with their inconsistencies, irrationalities, and passions, but also with their hopes, sense of beauty, solidarity, and quest for dignity. This collection brings together some of Willem Assies’s best, most fascinating, and still highly relevant writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThis is a fascinating body of work…I was most impressed by his balance of \"hard\" political-science analysis and the softer socio-cultural interpretations and by the balance of theory and applied work (scholarship speaking to real world contemporary problems).”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e·  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdward Fischer\u003c\/strong\u003e, Vanderbilt University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eForeword\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGeert Banck\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGemma van der Haar, Salvador Martí i Puig, Ton Salman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART I: SOCIAL MOVEMENTS IN LATIN AMERICA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGeert Banck\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Of Structured Moves and Moving Structures: An Overview of Theoretical Perspectives on Social Movements\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eUrban Social Movements, Democratization and Democracy in Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART II: AGRARIAN ISSUES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eCristobal Kay\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Agrarian Question in Peru: Some Observations on the Roads of Capital\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e From Rubber Estate to Simple Commodity Production: Agrarian Struggles in the Northern Bolivian Amazon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART III: INDIGENOUS (LAND) RIGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAndré Hoekema\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-Determination and the “New Partnership”; the Politics of Indigenous Peoples and States\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian Justice in the Andes: Re-rooting or Re-routing?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART IV: ETHNICITY AND CITIZENSHIP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSalvador Martí i Puig\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Limits of State Reform and Multiculturalism in Latin America: Contemporary Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Steps Forward, One Step Back: Indigenous Peoples and Autonomies in Latin America\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART V: POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN BOLIVIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eTon Salman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e David versus Goliath in Cochabamba: Water Rights, Neoliberalism and the Revival of Social Protest in Bolivia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e Neoliberalism and the Re-Emergence of Ethnopolitics in Bolivia\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBibliography Willem Assies\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042213790039,"sku":"9781782382928","price":101.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781782382928.jpg?v=1750953471","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/dignity-for-the-voiceless-willem-assiess-anthropological-work-in-context-9781782382928","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
