An Anthropological Economy of Debt (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Hours, Bernard; Ould Ahmed, Pepita

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Who exactly is in debt - and what is inside it? Authors from many disciplines come together in this volume to ask about the ways in which debt is shared out, and the constraints implied in it. The dimensions explored are not merely economic, but also political and symbolic - with special attention being paid to the gendered debt that burdens women.
