About this product

The Work of Repair is an ethnographic examination of the intimate relationships between laborers in the timber plantations of postapartheid South Africa, in the wake of the HIV crisis and the contentious politics of nutrition. It explores how capacity is augmented as the wounds of history are embodied and modulated.

Reviews
. . .Cousins has written a powerful, often brilliant, empirically rich, and extremely provocative book that will be read with profit by many on and outside of the continent., Cousins's focus on repair points to the regenerative capacity of hope amid consuming violence, vulnerabilities, and despair. Thoughtfully argued and meticulous in detail, this book highlights why cultures of interconnection, inclusivity, impurities, and repair in South Africa and elsewhere are key to convivial theorization in Anthropology and kindred disciplines. ---Francis B. Nyamnjoh, University of Cape Town, The Work of Repair draws from a dazzling array of theories, concepts, and ideas from many different fields and disciplines., "Cousins's focus on repair points to the regenerative capacity of hope amid consuming violence, vulnerabilities, and despair.
