More about the book
In an age defined by the Anthropocene, the book explores the interconnected crises of environment, economy, and identity through an anthropological lens. Thomas Hylland Eriksen emphasizes that while these issues are global, their impacts and responses are deeply local. He highlights the tensions between the homogenizing forces of global capitalism and the diverse, socially embedded practices of communities. By integrating ethnographic methods with broader social and historical analysis, the work provides fresh insights into energy consumption, urbanization, and the effects of technology on human mobility.
