Examining how people alter or customize various dimensions of their temporal experience, this volume discovers how we resist external sources of temporal constraint or structure. These ethnographic studies are international in scope and look at many different countries and continents. They come to the overall conclusion that people construct their own circumstances with the intention to modify their experience of time.

Industry Reviews

"The central theme of this book is crucial to our understanding of the present. The conceptual themes of the chapters are very complementary and detailed ... an inspiration for study and for readers' own research. Each is well written, and warmly appreciative of local wisdom." ? Jane Guyer, Johns Hopkins University

"[This book] deals with issues of time, and particularly of people's attempts to manipulate temporal experience. In that way it speaks to a topic that has always been somewhat present in the social sciences, but that only relatively recently sees sustained and in-depth attention." ? Stef Jansen, University of Manchester
