New Deal for Farhan Samanani

Posted on 11/02/2019

Cecily Gayford at Profile has bought UK & Commonwealth rights to the first book by social anthropologist and Max Planck Institute research fellow Farhan Samanani’s COMMONWEALTH. The book, which will be published in 2020, is a wide-ranging and hopeful exploration of how humans live in diverse societies. Using his own anthropological research, but also looking at history, political theory, philosophy and psychology, the book examines the ways we have grown apart, and how we might come back together again in a divided world.
