Eastern Europe Unmapped
Beyond Borders and Peripheries
Kacandes, I. & Komska, Y. (eds)
Arguably more than any other world regions, the area known as Eastern Europe has been defined by its location on the map. Rather than expound on borders and neighbors, Eastern Europe Unmapped raises questions about the meaning and relevance of the area’s non-contiguous, frequently global or extraterritorial, entanglements.

Economic Citizenship explores shifting responsibility for the welfare of minority and poor citizens, which has shifted from states to local communities through neoliberalization. This has produced odd discursive blends of justice, solidarity, and wellbeing, and placed the languages of feminist and minority rights side by side with the language of apolitical consumerism.

Edible People
The Historical Consumption of Slaves and Foreigners and the Cannibalistic Trade in Human Flesh
Siefkes, C.
While human cannibalism has attracted considerable notice and controversy, certain aspects of the practice have received scant attention. These include the connection between cannibalism and xenophobia: the capture and consumption of unwanted strangers. Likewise ignored is the connection to slavery: the fact that in some societies slaves and persons captured in slave raids could be, and were, killed and eaten. This book explores these largely forgotten practices and ignored connections.

Ethnography in the Raw
Life in a Luzon Village
Moeran, B.
Ethnography in the Raw describes the author’s encounters with a Philippine family into which he has married, his wife’s friends and acquaintances, and their lives in a remote rural village in the rice basin of Luzon, about 130 miles north east of Manila. It is both anthropological fieldwork ‘in the raw,’ and an incisive analysis of contemporary Philippine society and culture.

Making and Unmaking Heritage in Cyprus
Welz, G.
Since the Republic of Cyprus joined the European Union in 2004, heritage-making and Europeanization are becoming intertwined in Greek-Cypriot society. The author argues that heritage emerges as an increasingly standardized economic resource — a “European product” — and that heritage policy has become infused with transnational market regulations and neoliberal property regimes.

Exhibiting Europe in Museums
Transnational Networks, Collections, Narratives, and Representations
Kaiser, W., Krankenhagen, S. & Poehls, K.
Museums of history and contemporary culture face many challenges in the modern age, particularly in Europe where processes of Europeanization and globalization require more cross-border cooperation and different ways of telling stories for visitors. Based on research in nearly 100 museums across the Continent and interviews with cultural policy makers and museum curators, it studies the growing transnational activities of state institutions, societal organizations, and people in the museum field such as attempts to Europeanize collection policy and collections as well as different strategies for making narratives more transnational like telling stories of European integration as shared history and discussing both inward and outward migration as a common experience and challenge.

Expeditionary Anthropology
Teamwork, Travel and the ''Science of Man''
Thomas, M. & Harris, A. (eds)
Expeditions played a major role in the development of anthropology, but their significance has been eclipsed by the discipline’s valorization of the lone observer. This rich assessment of cross-cultural research and team-based travel is part of a new historical turn that regards expeditions as cultural formations, and provides new and compelling perspectives on the histories of anthropology and empire.
