Popular Mobilization: Rescaling As a Consequence of Nuit Debout/Occupy [Ida Susser]"Reviews"This book is a worthy and interesting contribution to the revival of ""political-economic anthropology"" -- that is to the analysis of ethnographic findings in terms of vastly unequal classes and class struggles. The book’s central question is what it means for anthropologists to return to political economy in the globalized world of today. Overall, the collection of essays makes the case for a new set of interlocutors for the discipline.
