  Lands of the Future

  Anthropological Perspectives on Pastoralism, Land Deals and Tropes of Modernity in Eastern Africa

  Gabbert, E. C., Gebresenbet, F., Galaty, J. G., & Schlee, G. (eds)

  Rangeland, forests and riverine landscapes of pastoral communities in Eastern Africa are increasingly under threat. Abetted by states who think that outsiders can better use the lands than the people who have lived there for centuries, outside commercial interests have displaced indigenous dwellers from pastoral territories. This volume presents case studies from Eastern Africa.

  Bush Bound

  Young Men and Rural Permanence in Migrant West Africa

  Gaibazzi, P.

  Many young men in a Gambian village, although eager to travel for money and experience, settle as farmers, family heads, businessmen, civic activists or, alternatively, as employed, demoted youth. This ethnography focuses on these “stayers,” who enable others to migrate while preserving the values and traditions of rural, sedentary life.

  Telling Children About the Past

  An Interdisciplinary Perspective

  Galanidou, N. & Dommasnes, L. H. (eds)

  This book brings together archeologists, historians, psychologists, and educators from different countries and academic traditions to address the many ways that we tell children about the (distant) past. The contributors both examine the ways in which children come to grips with the past and critically assess the many ways in which contemporary societies and an increasing number of commercial agents construct and use the past.

  Narratives in the Making

  Writing the East German Past in the Democratic Present

  Gallinat, A.

  This ethnography studies two very different institutions in one eastern German state taking divergent approaches to the past. While government organizations reliably depict the GDR as a dictatorship, one major regional newspaper focuses on the experiences and concerns of its readers—“memory work” that inevitably shapes citizenship and democracy.

  Selfhood and Recognition

  Melanesian and Western Accounts of Relationality

  Galuschek, A. C.

  The disciplines of philosophy and cultural anthropology have one thing in common: human behavior. Yet surprisingly, dialogue between the two fields has remained largely silent until now. Selfhood and Recognition combines philosophical and cultural anthropological accounts of the perception of individual action, exploring the processes through which a person recognizes the self and the other.

  Representing a cutting-edge study on the junction between theoretical anthropology, material culture studies, religious studies and museum anthropology, this study highlights the contradictions of museum practices and, at the same time, the potentialities that contemporary museums could offer for an engaging relationship between visitors and museum artefacts and for rethinking or, better, ‘softening’ specific approaches in material culture studies.

  Anti-liberal Europe

  A Neglected Story of Europeanization

  Gosewinkel, D. (ed)

  The history of modern Europe is often presented with the hindsight of present-day European integration, which was a genuinely liberal project based on political and economic freedom. Many other visions for Europe developed in the 20th century, however, were based on an idea of community rooted in pre-modern religious ideas, cultural or ethnic homogeneity, or even in coercion and violence. Anti-liberal Europe examines these visions, including those of anti-modernist Catholics, conservatives, extreme rightists as well as communists, arguing that antiliberal concepts in 20th century Europe were not the counterpart to, but instead part of the process of European integration.

  An Enchantment of Digital Archaeology

  Raising the Dead with Agent-Based Models, Archaeogaming and Artificial Intelligence

  Graham, S.

  The use of computation in archaeology is a kind of magic, a way of heightening the archaeological imagination. Agent-based modelling allows archaeologists to test the ‘just-so’ stories they tell about the past. These models are one end of a spectrum that ends with video games. This volume explores this spectrum in the context of Roman archaeology, addressing the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of a formalized approach to computation and archaeogaming.

  After the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Czech and German authorities adopted radicalized anti-Jewish policies, including depriving Jews of their property, hauling them into forced labor, and deporting them to concentration camps. In this pioneering study, Wolf Gruner demonstrates that these proceedings were not only controlled by Berlin, but also driven forward by the Czech government and local authorities.

These postsocialist configurations show that economies depend on macro institutions of markets and states, and also on the micro institutions of families, communities, and house economies.

  Friendship, Descent and Alliance in Africa

  Anthropological Perspectives

  Guichard, M., Grätz, T., & Diallo, Y. (eds)

  Friendship, descent and alliance are basic forms of relatedness that have received unequal attention in social anthropology. Offering new insights into the ways in which friendship is conceptualized and realized in various sub-Saharan African settings, the contributions to this volume depart from the recent tendency to study friendship in isolation from kinship. In drawing attention to the complexity of the interactions between these two kinds of social relationships, the book suggests that analyses of friendship in Western societies would also benefit from research that explores more systematically friendship in conjunction with kinship.

  The State and the Social

  State Formation in Botswana and its Precolonial and Colonial Genealogies

  Gulbrandsen, Ø

  Botswana has been portrayed as a major case of exception in Africa—as an oasis of peace and harmony with an enduring parliamentary democracy, blessed with remarkable diamond-driven economic growth. Whereas the “failure” of other states on the continent is often attributed to the prevalence of indigenous political ideas and structures, the author argues that Botswana’s apparent success is not the result of Western ideas and practices of government having replaced indigenous ideas and structures. Rather, the postcolonial state of Botswana is best understood as a unique, complex formation, one that arose dialectically through the meeting of European ideas and practices with the symbolism and hierarchies of authority, rooted in the cosmologies of indigenous polities, and both have become integral to the formation of a strong state with a stable government.

  The Armenian Genocide

  Evidence from the German Foreign Office Archives, 1915-1916

  Gust, W. (ed)

  The 1915-1916 annihilation of the Armenians was the archetype of modern genocide, in which a state adopts a specific scheme geared to the destruction of an identifiable group of its own citizens. Official German diplomatic documents are of great importance in understanding the genocide, as only Germany had the right to report day-by-day in secret code about the ongoing genocide. The motives, methods, and after-effects of the Armenian Genocide echoed strongly in subsequent cases of state-sponsored genocide. Studying the factors that went into the Armenian Genocide not only gives us an understanding of historical genocide, but also provides us with crucial information for the anticipation and possible prevention of future genocides.
