Mistrust

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the citizens of the Caucasus, this work explores the social practice of mistrust through an anthropological lens. Mühlfried challenges postcolonial narratives that depict these individuals as "others" by presenting ethnographic observations that highlight mistrust as a tangible reality. By addressing socio-political issues from a non-Western viewpoint, the book offers a fresh perspective on mistrust, contrasting it with the more widely studied concept of trust, and sheds light on contemporary challenges like populism and post-truth politics.
