In all aspects of his work, he opposed social exploitation, tending to the unheard voices of oppressed peoples. His research and analyses of culture in contemporary and past societies examine the dynamics of state formation and the consequences of civilisation for humanity as a whole. In this two-volume set of essays, scholars consider the dimensions and implications of Diamond's major contribution to critical theory, the concept of dialectical anthropology. Insisting that anthropology must maintain a perspective that is simultaneously interpretive, self-reflective and interdisciplinary, Diamond came to speak for the ways in which anthropology can resist the dehumanising impulses of modern civilisation. In the nuclear age, anything less than social participation, he believed, risks the future of humankind. The essays in this second vo...

The authors track transformations in the wake of state collapse, and diverse directions of development involving both structural contradictions and organized human agency.

Visible through occasions and needs demanding the creation of use-values beyond mere consumption, a resistant and non-capitalist set of work and exchange relations exist alongside—and at times in opposition to—institutions and dynamics that reproductive of capitalism. These non-exclusive spheres of kin-constituting work, pooling, and sharing in structurally precarious neighborhoods and transnational networks are ways of trying to ensure relative security, continuity, and sustaining relationships. Within them, we need to reconceptualize work as distinct from labor and query the labor theory of value as inappropriate for appreciating the core relations of primitive communism. By this kind of analysis, we find a way to bring feminist approaches to revitalize articulating modes of production debates in Marxism and to permit appreciating in practice the meaning of making use-values in producing enduring resistance.

This paper situates the exposure of children in state care to gendered violence in a context of poverty, the scaling back of state social welfare programs, and the interaction of gender, family, and race ideologies. The consequences of early exposure to gendered violence are explored through narratives by parents of girls adopted over the age of two who had been subject to sexual and other forms of gendered violence in or before foster care. The need for intervention on the conditions leading to foster care, better monitoring of children's well‐being in foster care, and training and support of foster and adoptive parents regarding recovery from gendered violence is stressed, as is the need to address the ideological cond...
