The Early Morning Phonecall
Somali Refugees' Remittances
Lindley, A.
As migration from poverty-stricken and conflict-affected countries continues to hit the headlines, this book focuses on an important counter-flow: the money that people send home. This book explores the dynamics, infrastructure, and far-reaching effects of remittances from the perspectives of people in the Somali regions and the diaspora. By ‘following the money’ the author opens a window on the everyday lives of people caught up in processes of conflict, migration, and development. The book demonstrates how, in the interstices of state disruption and globalisation, and in the shadow of violence and political uncertainty, life in the Somali regions goes on, subject to complex transnational forms of social, economic, and political innovation and change.

Food in Zones of Conflict
Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives
Collinson, P. and Macbeth, H. (eds)
Controlling food and access to food can be used as a weapon. This is an especially significant issue in zones of conflict, because conflict impinges on the production and the distribution of food causing increased competition for food, land and resources. These themes unite the chapters of Food in Zones of Conflict, but since the topic is multidisciplinary, this volume appeals specialists in any field.

Sovereignty is a significant force regarding the ownership, use, protection and management of natural resources. By placing an emphasis on the complex intertwined relationship between natural resources and diverse claims to resource sovereignty, this book reveals the backstory of contemporary resource contestations in Latin America and their positioning within a more extensive history of extraction in the region.

Weary Warriors
Power, Knowledge, and the Invisible Wounds of Soldiers
Moss, P. & Prince, M. J.
“…offers a sustained and persuasive analysis of the institutional dynamics and individual actions by which various forms of warrelated neuroses are recognised, treated, negotiated, claimed and reproduced…The rich and impressive array of sources – military and medical texts, biographies and autobiographies, popular novels and films and journalistic accounts – on which the analysis is based makes the volume all the more persuasive.” · Social Anthropology
“This is a solid piece of scholarship. The authors successfully apply key concepts from Foucault, along with those of his feminist critics, to the analysis of soldiers returning from war. In so doing, they deepen our understanding of how weary warriors are constructed through time and space, and what his/her diagnosis, treatment, and release says about wider relations of power in, between, and across the state, the military, psychiatry, and the body itself.” · Carolyn Gallaher, American University
