Emotions are a fundamental part of human experience. They shape our interactions with others, influence our decisions, and color our perceptions of the world around us. Yet, despite their importance, emotions remain one of the most misunderstood and understudied aspects of human behavior.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the study of emotions from an anthropological perspective. Anthropologists are uniquely positioned to study emotions because they have the opportunity to observe and interact with people from different cultures, who may have very different ways of experiencing and expressing their emotions.

Mixed Emotions: Anthropological Studies of Feeling is a groundbreaking collection of essays that explores the ways in which emotions are experienced, expressed, and understood in different cultures. Drawing on a wide range of ethnographic research, the contributors to this volume examine how emotions shape social interactions, cultural practices, and political processes.

The essays in this collection cover a wide range of topics, including:

• The role of emotions in social interactions
• The ways in which emotions are expressed and communicated
• The relationship between emotions and culture
• The political uses of emotions
• The ethics of studying emotions

Mixed Emotions is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of emotions. It offers a unique perspective on this important topic, and it will undoubtedly help to shape the future of research on emotions.
