The Method of Hope. Anthropology, Philosophy, and Fijian Knowledge, Paperback/Hirokazu Miyazaki

This book juxtaposes the long-standing hope of a group of dispossessed Fijians of regaining their ancestral land with the concept of hope in the philosophy of Ernst Bloch. It seeks to highlight the category of hope in anthropological knowledge and reclaim it for social theory, and to carve out a space for a new kind of relationship between anthropology and philosophy.
