Tackles the critical question of how people of diverse cultures confront the common problems that arise with global integration. This book reveals these impacts on an urban US community, on Mandalay rice cultivators, on Mayan and Andean peasants and miners. It is for anthropologists and other social scientists engaged in ethnographic research.

In this book distinguished anthropologist June Nash demonstrates how ethnography can illuminate a wide array of global problems. She describes encounters with an urban U.S. community undergoing de-industrialization, with Mandalay rice cultivators accommodating to post-World War II independence through animistic pratices, with Mayans mobilizing for autonomy, and with Andean peasants and miners confronting the International Monetary Fund. Havin worked in a great variety of cultural settings around the world, Nash challenges us to expand our anthropological horizons and to think about local problems in a global manner.
