Beschreibung
"This book explores some of the most pressing existential problems of our times, from climate change and social injustice, to the challenges of balancing personal needs against the needs of others. Pushing back against the tendency to think of dilemmas as clear-cut binary choices, anthropologist Michael Jackson shows us the ingenious ways dilemmas are addressed in non-Western traditions, as well as how they are reimagined and circumvented in a variety of contemporary settings. Each chapter examines a particular dilemma--from the apparent contradictions between history and myth, fact and fiction, science and religion, to the land rights struggles of Indigenous peoples, to migrants from the Global South trying to sustain ties with their homelands while improving their lives abroad. Combining personal reflections with insights from a vast array of interlocutors, Jackson argues that the ways in which people endure dilemmas are as meaningful as the ways they attempt to resolve them"--Publisher's description.
