Book synopsis

Explores how scalar blindness skews our understanding of these cultures and the debates they inspire. This book elaborates on indigenous modes of "being many" that have been eclipsed by scale-blind anthropology, which generally uses its large-scale conceptual language of persons, relations, and ethnic groups for even tiny communities.
