HONOUR AND VIOLENCE<\/a>
\nGender, Power and Law in Southern Pakistan
\nNafisa Shah<\/p>\n

Volume 39, New Directions in Anthropology<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The practice of karo kari<\/em> allows family, especially fathers, brothers and sons, to take the lives of their daughters, sisters and mothers if they are accused of adultery. This volume examines the central position of karo kari<\/em> in the social, political and juridical structures in Upper Sindh, Pakistan. Drawing connections between local contests over marriage and resources, Nafisa Shah unearths deep historical processes and power relations. In particular, she explores how the state justice system and informal mediations inform each other in state responses to karo kari<\/em>, and how modern law is implicated in this seemingly ancient cultural practice.<\/p>\n

AMERICA OBSERVED<\/a>
\nOn an International Anthropology of the U.S.
\nEdited by Virginia Dominguez and Jasmin Habib
\nAfterword by Jane C. Desmond<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is surprisingly little fieldwork done on the United States by anthropologists from abroad. America Observed<\/em> fills that gap by bringing into greater focus empirical as well as theoretical implications of this phenomenon. Edited by Virginia Dominguez and Jasmin Habib, the essays collected here offer a critique of such an absence, exploring its likely reasons while also illustrating the advantages of studying fieldwork-based anthropological projects conducted by colleagues from outside the U.S. This volume contains an introduction written by the editors and fieldwork-based essays written by Helena Wulff, Jasmin Habib, Limor Darash, Ulf Hannerz, and Moshe Shokeid, and reflections on the broad issue written by Geoffrey White, Keiko Ikeda, and Jane Desmond. Suitable for introductory and mid-level anthropology courses, America Observed will also be useful for American Studies courses both in the U.S. and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Violent Becomings<\/em> conceptualizes the Mozambican state not as the bureaucratically ordered polity of the nation-state, but as a continuously emergent and violently challenged mode of ordering. In doing so, this book addresses the question of why colonial and postcolonial state formation has involved violent articulations with so-called \u2018traditional\u2019 forms of sociality. The scope and dynamic nature of such violent becomings is explored through an array of contexts that include colonial regimes of forced labor and pacification, liberation war struggles and civil war, the social engineering of the post-independence state, and the popular appropriation of sovereign violence in riots and lynchings.<\/p>\n

\"\"DEADLY CONTRADICTIONS<\/a>
\nThe New American Empire and Global Warring
\nStephen P. Reyna<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an amazing book, a page-turner, a true game-changer, one of those grand oeuvres that an academic discipline produces once a decade at best.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Patrick Neveling<\/strong>, Cultural Anthropology, Utrecht University<\/p>\n

As US imperialism continues to dictate foreign policy, Deadly Contradictions<\/em> is a compelling account of the American empire. Stephen P. Reyna argues that contemporary forms of violence exercised by American elites in the colonies, client state, and regions of interest have deferred imperial problems, but not without raising their own set of deadly contradictions. This book can be read many ways: as a polemic against geopolitics, as a classic social anthropological text, or as a seminal analysis of twenty-four US global wars during the Cold War and post-Cold War eras.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE ANTHROPOLOGIST AS WRITER<\/a>
\nGenres and Contexts in the Twenty-First Century
\nEdited by Helena Wulff<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Writing is crucial to anthropology, but which genres are anthropologists expected to master in the 21st century? This book explores how anthropological writing shapes the intellectual content of the discipline and academic careers. First, chapters identify the different writing genres and contexts anthropologists actually engage with. Second, this book argues for the usefulness and necessity of taking seriously the idea of writing as a craft and of writing across and within genres in new ways. Although academic writing is an anthropologist\u2019s primary genre, they also write in many others, from drafting administrative texts and filing reports to composing ethnographically inspired journalism and fiction.<\/p>\n

WAR MAGIC<\/a>
\nReligion, Sorcery, and Performance
\nEdited by D. S. Farrer<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This compelling volume explores how war magic and warrior religion unleash the power of the gods, demons, ghosts, and the dead. Documenting war magic and warrior religion as they are performed in diverse cultures and across historical time periods, this volume foregrounds embodiment, practice, and performance in anthropological approaches to magic, sorcery, shamanism, and religion. The authors go beyond what magic \u2018represents\u2019 to consider what magic does. From Chinese exorcists, Javanese spirit siblings, and black magic in Sumatra to Tamil Tiger suicide bombers, Chamorro spiritual re-enchantment, tantric Buddhist war magic, and Yanomami dark shamans, religion and magic are re-evaluated not just from the practitioner\u2019s perspective but through the victim\u2019s lived experience. These original investigations reveal a nuanced approach to understanding social action, innovation, and the revitalization of tradition in colonial and post-colonial societies undergoing rapid social transformation.<\/p>\n

\"\"HUNTERS, GATHERERS, AND PRACTITIONERS OF POWERLESSNESS<\/a>
\nAn Ethnography of the Degraded in Postsocialist Poland
\nTomasz Rakowski
\nTranslated from Polish by S\u00f8ren Gauger
\nForeword by Jan Kubik<\/p>\n

Volume 6, European Anthropology in Translation<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The socio-economic transformations of the 1990s have forced many people in Poland into impoverishment. Hunters, Gatherers, and Practitioners of Powerlessness gives a dramatic account of life after this degradation, tracking the experiences of unemployed miners, scrap collectors, and poverty-stricken village residents. Contrary to the images of passivity, resignation, and helplessness that have become powerful tropes in Polish journalism and academic writing, Tomasz Rakowski traces the ways in which people actively reconfigure their lives. As it turns out, the initial sense of degradation and helplessness often gives way to images of resourcefulness that reveal unusual hunting-and-gathering skills.<\/p>\n

Zsuzsa Berend presents a methodologically innovative ethnography of SurroMomsOnline.com, the largest surrogacy support website in the United States. Surrogates\u2019 views emerge from the stories, debates, and discussions that unfold online. The Online World of Surrogacy<\/em> documents these collective meaning-making practices and explores their practical, emotional, and moral implications. In doing so, the book works through themes of interest across the social sciences, including definitions of parenthood, the symbolic role of money, reproductive loss, altruism, and the moral valuation of relationships.<\/p>\n

KEYWORDS OF MOBILITY<\/a>
\nCritical Engagements
\nEdited by Noel B. Salazar and Kiran Jayaram<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scholars from various disciplines have used key concepts to grasp mobilities, but as of yet, a working vocabulary of these has not been fully developed. Given this context and inspired in part by Raymond Williams\u2019 Keywords (1976), this edited volume presents contributions that critically analyze mobility-related keywords: capital, cosmopolitanism, freedom, gender, immobility, infrastructure, motility, and regime. Each chapter provides an historical context, a critical analysis of how the keyword has been used in relation to mobility, and a conclusion that proposes future usage or research.<\/p>\n

LEAVING FOOTPRINTS IN THE TAIGA<\/a>
\nLuck, Spirits and Ambivalence among the Siberian Orochen Reindeer Herders and Hunters
\nDonatas Brandi\u0161auskas<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nowhere have recent environmental and social changes been more pronounced than in post-Soviet Siberia. Donatas Brandi\u0161auskas probes the strategies that Orochen reindeer herders of southeastern Siberia have developed to navigate these changes. \u201cCatching luck\u201d is one such strategy that plays a central role in Orochen cosmology — luck implies a vernacular theory of causality based on active interactions of humans, non-humans, material objects, and places. Brandi\u0161auskas describes in rich details the skills, knowledge, ritual practices, storytelling, and movements that enable the Orochen to \u201ccatch luck\u201d (or not, sometimes), to navigate times of change and upheaval.<\/p>\n

CONTEXTUALIZING DISASTER<\/a>
\nEdited by Gregory V. Button and Mark Schuller<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Contextualizing Disaster<\/em> offers a comparative analysis of six recent “highly visible” disasters and several slow-burning, “hidden,” crises that include typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, chemical spills, and the unfolding consequences of rising seas and climate change. The book argues that, while disasters are increasingly represented by the media as unique, exceptional, newsworthy events, it is a mistake to think of disasters as isolated or discrete occurrences. Rather, building on insights developed by political ecologists, this book makes a compelling argument for understanding disasters as transnational and global phenomena.<\/p>\n

CREATING A NEW PUBLIC UNIVERSITY AND REVIVING DEMOCRACY<\/a>
\nAction Research in Higher Education
\nMorten Levin and Davydd J. Greenwood<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Public universities are in crisis, waning in their role as central institutions within democratic societies. Denunciations are abundant, but analyses of the causes and proposals to re-create public universities are not. Based on extensive experience with Action Research-based organizational change in universities and private sector organizations, Levin and Greenwood analyze the wreckage created by neoliberal academic administrators and policymakers. The authors argue that public universities must be democratically organized to perform their educational and societal functions. The book closes by laying out Action Research processes that can transform public universities back into institutions that promote academic freedom, integrity, and democracy.<\/p>\n

PEOPLE, MONEY AND POWER IN THE ECONOMIC CRISIS<\/a>
\nPerspectives from the Global South
\nEdited by Keith Hart and John Sharp<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cA striking element of the volume is the interdisciplinarity of its textual form. While most of the contributors are in fact sociocultural anthropologists, the appropriation of templates and literary conventions within and across the fields of history, sociology, political economy and geography reflects the seriousness of the authors\u2019 coalition building aspirations.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Anthropological Forum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nine case studies — from Southern Africa, South Asia, Brazil, and Atlantic Africa \u2013 examine economic life from the perspective of ordinary people in places that are normally marginal to global discourse, covering a range of class positions from the bottom to the top of society. The authors of these case studies examine people\u2019s concrete economic activities and aspirations.<\/p>\n

\nEdited by Edvard Hviding and Cato Berg<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c[With this] very cohesive set of essays, Hviding and Berg h ave done an excellent job lifting an important expedition out of the archival oblivion where it reposed for the better part of a century. This is an appropriate volume to introduce the new Pacific Perspectives series. As such, this work appeals to readers interested in the histories of anthropology and Pacific worlds.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Oceania<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1908, Arthur Maurice Hocart and William Halse Rivers Rivers conducted fieldwork in the Solomon Islands and elsewhere in Island Melanesia that served as the turning point in the development of modern anthropology. Contributors to this volume\u2014who have all carried out fieldwork in those Melanesian locations where Hocart and Rivers worked\u2014give a critical examination of the research that took place in 1908, situating those efforts in the broadest possible contexts of colonial history, imperialism, the history of ideas and scholarly practice within and beyond anthropology.<\/p>\n

\nReflecting on Democracy’s Troubles
\nEdited by Joanna Cook, Nicholas J. Long, and Henrietta L. Moore<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What makes people lose faith in democratic statecraft? The question seems an urgent one. In the first decades of the twenty-first century, citizens across the world have grown increasingly disillusioned with what was once a cherished ideal. Setting out an original theoretical model that explores the relations between democracy, subjectivity and sociality, and exploring its relevance to countries ranging from Kenya to Peru, The State We\u2019re In is a must-read for all political theorists, scholars of democracy, and readers concerned for the future of the democratic ideal.<\/p>\n

WHEN THINGS BECOME PROPERTY<\/a>
\nLand Reform, Authority and Value in Postsocialist Europe and Asia
\nThomas Sikor, Stefan Dorondel, Johannes Stahl and Phuc Xuan To<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Governments have conferred ownership titles to many citizens throughout the world in an effort to turn things into property. Almost all elements of nature have become the target of property laws, from the classic preoccupation with land to more ephemeral material, such as air and genetic resources. When Things Become Property interrogates the mixed outcomes of conferring ownership by examining postsocialist land and forest reforms in Albania, Romania and Vietnam, and finds that property reforms are no longer, if they ever were, miracle tools available to governments for refashioning economies, politics or environments.<\/p>\n

FOOD RESEARCH<\/a>
\nNutritional Anthropology and Archaeological Methods
\nEdited by Janet Chrzan and John A. Brett<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Biocultural and archaeological research on food, past and present, often relies on very specific, precise, methods for data collection and analysis. These are presented here in a broad-based review. Individual chapters provide opportunities to think through the adoption of methods by reviewing the history of their use along with a discussion of research conducted using those methods. A case study from the author’s own work is included in each chapter to illustrate why the methods were adopted in that particular case along with abundant additional resources to further develop and explore those methods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nutritional Anthropology and public health research and programming have employed similar methodologies for decades; many anthropologists are public health practitioners while many public health practitioners have been trained as medical or biological anthropologists. Recognizing such professional connections, this volume provides in-depth analysis and comprehensive review of methods necessary to design, plan, implement and analyze public health programming using anthropological best practices. To illustrates the rationale for use of particular methods, each chapter elaborates a case study from the author’s own work, showing why particular methods were adopted in each case.<\/p>\n
