DEFIANCE AND COMPLIANCE<\/a>
Negotiating Gender in Low-Income Cairo
Heba Aziz El-Kholy
Vol. 15, NEW DIRECTIONS IN ANTHROPOLOGY<\/a>
With Guiding Research Questions<\/em><\/strong>

“Dr.El-Kholy’s powerful study of labouring women in four Cairo neighbourhoods shows them vigorously confronting gender inequalities. Mindful of their sexual reputations, they see marriage less as oppression, more as a risky entry into the ‘real’ world of womanhood. These women can be strong in negotiations over marriage contracts, and wage-rates. Crystal-clear analysis, persuasive writing, and contextualised ethnography combine to make this book an intellectual and political challenge.”<\/em>  \u00b7 Peter Loizos, <\/strong>London School of Economics <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by David G. Anderson
With Archives<\/em><\/strong>

\u201cThe contributors have made excellent use of recently opened archives and interviews with descendants of the people surveyed to provide a uniquely human portrait of this seminal project. While the chapters focus most thoroughly on the Nenets, Khanty, and Yakut, the analysis is of broader relevance to an understanding of Siberian peoples during the first stages of the sovietization of the Far North. This book will prove of unique value to historians of the Soviet period as well as to cultural anthropologists specializing in polar peoples.

\u201c[The volume] shows the value of investigating middle-class Western neighborhoods and especially of the historical changes in such sites.

DEMOCRACY’S PARADOX<\/a>
Populism and its Contemporary Crisis
Edited by Bruce Kapferer and Dimitrios Theodossopoulos
Vol. 18, CRITICAL INTERVENTIONS: A FORUM FOR SOCIAL ANALYSIS<\/a>

Bringing together different anthropological experiences of current populist movements, this volume makes a timely contribution to these questions. Contrary to more conventional interpretations of populism as crisis, the authors instead recognize populism as integral to Western democratic systems. In doing so, the volume provides an important critique that exposes the exclusionary essentialisms spread by populist rhetoric while also directing attention to local views of political accountability and historical consciousness that are key to understanding this paradox of democracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEARCH AFTER METHOD<\/a>
Sensing, Moving, and Imagining in Anthropological Fieldwork
Edited by Julie Laplante, Ari Gandsman, and Willow Scobie
Vol. 40, METHODOLOGY & HISTORY IN ANTHROPOLOGY<\/a>

Reigniting a tradition of learning from experience, Search After Method is a plea for livelier forms of anthropology. The anthropologists in the collection recount their experiences of working in the field, framed within a range of anthropological debates. The book thus provides accounts of lived experiences from both extensive and contemporary fieldwork as well as offering solutions for how to evolve the art of anthropological research beyond what is currently imagined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe intersection between anthropology and STS has been one of the most fertile grounds for experimentation among critical social and cultural theorists over recent decades. Showcasing some of its most influential contributors, as well as a number of shooting stars, this volume takes this discussion to a new level of sophistication by returning to the \u2018ground zero\u2019 of anthropological (auto) critique: the nature-culture binary and its negotiation within diverse cultural and academic traditions.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Morten Axel Pedersen<\/strong>, University of Copenhagen <\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTRODUCTORY READINGS IN ANTHROPOLOGY<\/a>
Edited by Hilary Callan, Brian Street and Simon Underdown
Published in association with the Royal Anthropological Institute<\/em>
With Suggestions for Further Reading<\/em><\/strong>

Anthropology seeks to understand the roots of our common humanity, the diversity of cultures and world-views, and the organisation of social relations and practices. As a method of inquiry it embraces an enormous range of topics, and as a discipline it covers a multitude of fields and themes, as shown in this selection of original writings. As an accessible entry point, for upper-level students and first year undergraduates new to the study of anthropology, this reader also offers guidance for teachers in exploring the subject\u2019s riches with their students. That anthropology is an immensely expansive inquiry of study is demonstrated by the diversity of its topics \u2013 from nature conservation campaigns to witchcraft beliefs, from human evolution to fashion and style, and from the repatriation of indigenous human remains to research on literacy. There is no single \u2018story of anthropology\u2019. Taken together, these fundamental readings are evidence of a contemporary, vibrant subject that has much to tell us about all the worlds in which we live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFocusing on such disparate and under-explored topics as corporate conduct during the Holocaust, the changing nature of European nations\u2019 reparations practices, and the quality of postwar American military commission trials (as distinct from the IMT Nuremberg prosecution), Goda has assembled a fascinating and informative collection of essays. The book not only explores these matters, but each essay provides lavish footnotes and a detailed \u2018select bibliography\u2019 to facilitate further inquiry.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 American Historical Review<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GERMAN RAILROADS, JEWISH SOULS<\/a>
The Reichsbahn, Bureaucracy, and the Final Solution
Christopher R. Browning, Peter Hayes and Raul Hilberg
Published in Association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum<\/em>

\u201cThis important book unites three prominent scholars tackling crucial questions about German railways and the Holocaust. Two essays from the late, renowned Raul Hilberg investigate their overlooked role in the extermination of the European Jews. They provide groundbreaking investigations into the German railway as the prototype of a bureaucracy and challenge its supposed banality. While Christopher Browning eloquently situates Hilberg\u2019s essays within the historical literature, Peter Hayes makes a detailed critique of the common but false belief that the deportation and annihilation of the Jews were more of a priority for the Nazis than the war effort. This question, arising from Hilberg\u2019s essays, demonstrates the continued significance of his work today.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Wolf Gruner<\/strong>, author, The Holocaust in Bohemia and Moravia: Czech Initiatives, German Policies, Jewish Responses<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE NATURE OF SOCIOLOGY<\/a>
Marcel Mauss
Translated by William Jeffrey
Introduction by Mike Gane
Published in Association with the <\/em>Durkheim Press<\/a>

Having taken over the leadership of the French school of sociology after the death of his uncle, Emile Durkheim, in 1917, Mauss, celebrated author of The Gift, re-launched the flagship journal, the Ann\u00e9e sociologique. Here are two of Mauss’s most significant statements on the social sciences. The first, written with Fauconnet, outlines the methodological orientations of the school. The second examines the internal organization of sociology as a division of intellectual labor. The essays are of interest to anthropologists as well as sociologists for Mauss, like Durkheim, did not distinguish in detail the two disciplines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
