Online resources: Summary: 'A War on People' takes up two interrelated concerns increasingly of import to political anthropologists and theorists. The first is the seemingly widespread lack of motivation for participating in political activity. The second is the political and intellectual focus on critique rather than on offering alternatives for possible futures. This text addresses these concerns by offering an ethnographically and theoretically rich look at the political and ethical activity of some unlikely political actors-active and former users of heroin and crack cocaine.
