This compelling collection of essays suggests that this experience is among the essential conditions that make us human and connect us to others.

In this rich and insightful collection of essays, leading anthropologist Ghassan Hage brings together academics across political science, philosophy, anthropology and sociology for an examination into the experience of waiting.

What is it to wait? What do we wait for? And how is waiting connected to the social worlds in which we live? From Beckett’s darkly comic play Waiting for Godot, to the perpetual waiting of refugees to return home or to moments of intense anticipation such as falling in love or the birth of a baby, there are many ways in which we wait.

This compelling collection of essays suggests that this experience is among the essential conditions that make us human and connect us to others.
