About the Author
Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing is a distinguished anthropologist and professor emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz, renowned for her innovative ethnographic work that bridges anthropology, environmental studies, and cultural theory. Her research explores the intersections of human and nonhuman worlds, particularly in marginalized and ecologically contested landscapes. Drawing from extensive fieldwork in Indonesia and beyond, Tsing examines how global capitalism, colonialism, and environmental change shape diverse communities and ecosystems. In her seminal book, In the Realm of the Diamond Queen: Marginality in an Out-of-the-Way Place, she delves into the lives of Meratus Dayak swidden farmers and mobile forest traders, illuminating the complexities of marginality and resistance in remote regions. Tsing's interdisciplinary approach continues to influence discussions on multispecies ethnography and the politics of place, offering profound insights into our entangled world.
