This engaging and straightforward text enhances your awareness of changes happening throughout the world, all by examining the microcosm of a single community. You will hear the conversations, view the changing scene that villagers experience, and hear directly from those who try valiantly, and sometimes fail, to change the lives of villagers. The book contains four case studies, each featuring the author's exploration of a different initiative intended to effect community change. You will gain an understanding about how adopting an anthropological perspective may help you improve your daily life and be a more responsible and effective observer and participant in society, regardless of the occupation you choose, as a member of a household or workplace, or as a citizen of a community, nation, or the world.
