She is the author of numerous books and articles, including \u003ci\u003eAnthropology and Politics\u003c\/i\u003e (1990, reissued 1995) and is currently working on an historical ethnography of the Irish famine.  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. In \u003ci\u003eThe Anthropology of Politics: A Reader in Ethnography, Theory, and Critique\u003c\/i\u003e readers will find a remarkable collection of classic and contemporary articles on the subject.  \u003cp\u003eFollowing on from her landmark book on politics and anthropology, in this volume Joan Vincent provides a sweeping historical and theoretical introduction to the field. 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.
