Dispatches from Home and the Field During the Covid-19 Pandemic
ISBN: 9783031191923 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych.

Rather than an edited volume with dedicated chapters, this book thus offers a new format wherein authors write several, distinct dispatches, each short and compact, allowing each writer's perspectives and stories to grow, in tandem with the pandemic itself, over the course of the book. Leaving behind the trope of the lonely anthropologist, these authors come together...
