How will we pass the time that we have on earth? In gorgeously rendered graphic form, Light in Dark Times invites readers to consider these questions by exploring the political catastrophes and moral disasters of the past and present, revealing issues that beg to be studied, understood, confronted, and resisted. A profound work of anthropology and art, this book is for anyone yearning to understand the darkness and hoping to hold onto the light. It is a powerful story of encounters with writers, philosophers, activists, and anthropologists whose words are as meaningful today as they were during the times in which they were written. This book is at once a lament over the darkness of our times, an affirmation of the value of knowledge and introspection, and a consideration of truth, lies, and the dangers of the trivial. In a time when many of us struggle with the feeling that we cannot do enough to change the course of the future, this book is a call to action, asking us to envision and create an alternative world from the one in which we now live. Light in Dark Times is beautiful to look at and to hold--an exquisite work of art that is lively, informative, enlightening, deeply moving, and inspiring."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Anthropology $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Meaning (Philosophy) $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Art and anthropology $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 6 $a Anthropologie $v Bandes dessinées. 650 6 $a Signification (Philosophie) $v Bandes dessinées. 650 6 $a Art et anthropologie $v Bandes dessinées. 650 7 $a Anthropology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810196 650 7 $a Art and anthropology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815390 650 7 $a Meaning (Philosophy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01013149 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11931019 $a Anthropologie $0 (FrPBN)11931019 $x Bandes dessinées. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11931019 $a Art et anthropologie $0 (FrPBN)11931019 $x Bandes dessinées. $2 ram 650 7 $a Signification (philosophie) $x Bandes dessinées. $0 (FrPBN)11931019 $0 (FrPBN)11931019 $2 ram 655 7 $a comic books. $2 aat 655 7 $a comic strips. $2 aat 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921613 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bandes dessinées. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Corden, Charlotte, $d 1986- $e artist. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Waterston, Alisse, 1951- $t Light in dark times. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2020 $z 9781487539139 $z 9781487539139 $w (OCoLC)1154414275 830 0 $a ethnoGRAPHIC (University of Toronto Press) 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230901010120.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E0EBB96E488C11EE9762855E3EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
