Political anthropology has long been among the most vibrant subdisciplines within anthropology, and work done in this area has been instrumental in exploring some of the most significant issues of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, including (post)colonialism, development and underdevelopment, identity politics, nationalism \/ transnationalism, and political violence.

Selected readings from figures such as E. E. Evans-Pritchard, Edmund Leach, Victor Turner, Eric Wolf, Benedict Anderson, Talal Asad, Michael Taussig, Jean and John Comaroff, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak are enriched by Vincent's headnotes and suggestions for further reading. \u003ci\u003eThe Anthropology of Politics\u003c\/i\u003e will prove an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and instructors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"The best and most provocative essays by anthropologists on politics, power, colonialism, nationalism, and globalization.
