Alter-politics - Ghassan Hage

This Book Is A Contribution To A Long History Of Critical Writing Against An Increasingly Destructive Global Order Marked By An Excessive Instrumentalisation, Exploitation And Degradation Of The Human And Non-human Environment, And Ridden With Unacceptable, But Also, Importantly, Avoidable, Forms Of Inequality, Injustice And Marginalisation. Alter-politics Is Concerned With The Way Anthropological Critical Writing In Particular Aims To Weave Oppositional Concerns (anti-politics) With A Search For Alternatives (alter-politics): Alternative Economies, Alternative Modes Of Inhabiting And Relating To The Earth, Alternative Modes Of Thinking And Experiencing Otherness. If Alter-politics Privileges Alter-politics Over Oppositional Politics, It Is Not Because, As Is Made Clear, The 'alter' Moment Is More Important Than The 'anti'.
