Explores how scalar blindness skews our understanding of these cultures and the debates they inspire. This book elaborates on indigenous modes of "being many" that have been eclipsed by scale-blind anthropology, which generally uses its large-scale conceptual language of persons, relations, and ethnic groups for even tiny communities.
