    Abstract: Watchfulness shapes many Chicanxs` and other People of Color`s everyday lives in San Diego. Experiencing racist discrimination can lead to becoming vigilant, which frames their subjectivity. Focusing particularly on Chicanxs, we show how they seek to intervene against structural inequalities and threats in their lives, such as by re-claiming space, consciousness raising, participating in protests, and healing practices. We argue that contestations surrounding belonging create particularly watchful selves and that this is a significant aspect of borderland lifeworlds more broadly.The book advances the Anthropology of borders, coloniality, subjectivity, and race, as well as contributing to Chicano and Latino Studies, and Urban Studies. Pushing the boundaries of conventional approaches, this book is methodologically innovative by including team fieldwork, digital ethnography, and illustrative work by a local artist. It fills a gap in Security Studies by examining peer-to-peer vigilance beyond top-down surveillance and bottom-up "sousveillance," and expanding previous understandings of watchfulness as an ambivalent practice that can also express care and contribute to community building, as well as representing a "way of life."

    Abstract: In 2002 widespread communal violence tore apart hundreds of towns and villages in rural parts of Gujarat, India. In the aftermath, many Muslims living in Hindu-majority villages sought safety in the small town of Anand, some relocating with the financial assistance of their relatives overseas. Following such dramatic displacement and disorientation, Anand emerged as a site of opportunity and hope. For its residents and transnational visitors, Anand`s Muslim area is not just a site of marginalization; it has become an important focal point and regional center from which they can participate in the wider community of Gujarat and reimagine society in more inclusive terms.This compelling ethnography shows how in Anand the experience of residential segregation led not to estrangement or closure but to distinctive practices of mobility and exchange that embed Muslim residents in a variety of social networks. In doing so, New Lives in Anand moves beyond established notions of ghettoization to foreground the places, practices, and narratives that are significant to the people of Anand. It asks how people get on with their lives after an episode of violence to create new spaces and societies and to reconfigure their sense of belonging. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: TSANTSA's special issue "Engaged Anthropology in and beyond Switzerland" aims to shed light on and recognize the full potential of engaged anthropology and its place in academia and beyond. It argues for an inclusive approach to be both theoretically enriching and methodologically grounded in diverse practices and forms. The introduction addresses common confusions and obstacles distracting engaged anthropology from its core premises and potentials. As the Interface Commission of the Swiss Anthropological Association (SEG), we seek to deepen the conversation about how engagement bolsters the discipline to stay relevant and robust, and embark on new paths of theoretical reflection. By "repositioning" engaged anthropology at the heart of contemporary anthropology, we seek to overcome unproductive dichotomies on engagements and practices by embracing critical reflexivity in the process of knowledge production and social action.

    Plantation crisis : Ruptures of Dalit life in the Indian tea belt (2022)

    Abstract: What does the collapse of India`s tea industry mean for Dalit workers who have lived, worked and died on the plantations since the colonial era? Plantation Crisis offers a complex understanding of how processes of social and political alienation unfold in moments of economic rupture. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in the Peermade and Munnar tea belts, Jayaseelan Raj - himself a product of the plantation system - offers a unique and richly detailed analysis of the profound, multi-dimensional sense of crisis felt by those who are at the bottom of global plantation capitalism.Tea production in India accounts for 25 per cent of global output. The colonial era planation system - and its two million strong workforce - has, since the mid-1990s, faced a series of ruptures stemming from neoliberal economic globalisation. In the South Indian state of Kerala, otherwise known for its labour-centric development initiatives, the Tamil speaking Dalit workforce, whose ancestors were brought to the plantations in the 19th century, are at the forefront of this crisis and the profound impacts it brings to their social identity and economic wellbeing. Out of the colonial history of racial capitalism and indentured migration, Plantation Crisis opens our eyes to the collapse of the plantation system in India, and the profound impacts this has on the Dalit workers who lived there for generations.

    Abstract: Nothing lasts forever. This common experience is the source of much anxiety but also hope. The concept of impermanence or continuous change opens up a range of timely questions and discussions that speak to globally shared experiences of transformation and concerns for the future. Impermanence engages with an emergent body of social theory emphasizing flux and transformation, and brings this into a dialogue with other traditions of thought and practice, notably Buddhism that has sustained a long-lasting and sophisticated meditation on impermanence.In cases drawn from all over the world, this volume investigates the significance of impermanence in such diverse contexts as social death, atheism, alcoholism, migration, ritual, fashion, oncology, museums, cultural heritage and art. The authors draw on a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, art history, Buddhist studies, cultural geography and museology. This volume also includes numerous photographs, artworks and poems that evocatively communicate notions and experiences of impermanence. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: As far too many intellectual histories and theoretical contributions from the 'global South' remain under-explored, this volume works towards redressing such imbalance. Experienced authors, from the regions concerned, along different disciplinary lines, and with a focus on different historical timeframes, sketch out their perspectives of envisaged transformations. This includes specific case studies and reflexive accounts from African, South Asian, and Middle Eastern contexts. Taking a critical stance on the ongoing dominance of Eurocentrism in academia, the authors present their contributions in relation to current decolonial challenges. Hereby, they consider intellectual, practical and structural aspects and dimensions, to mark and build their respective positions. From their particular vantage points of (trans)disciplinary and transregional engagement, they sketch out potential pathways for addressing the unfinished business of conceptual decolonization. The specific individual positionalities of the contributors, which are shaped by location and regional perspective as much as in disciplinary, biographical, linguistic, religious, and other terms, are hereby kept in view. Drawing on their significant experiences and insights gained in both the global north and global south, the contributors offer original and innovative models of engagement and theorizing frames that seek to restore and critically engage with intellectual practices from particular regions and transregional contexts in Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East. This volume builds on a lecture series held at ZMO in the winter 2019-2020

    Abstract: To produce the song sequences that are central to Indian popular cinema, singers` voices are first recorded in the studio and then played back on the set to be lip-synced and danced to by actors and actresses as the visuals are filmed. Since the 1950s, playback singers have become revered celebrities in their own right. Brought to Life by the Voice explores the distinctive aesthetics and affective power generated by this division of labor between onscreen body and offscreen voice in South Indian Tamil cinema. In Amanda Weidman`s historical and ethnographic account, playback is not just a cinematic technique, but a powerful and ubiquitous element of aural public culture that has shaped the complex dynamics of postcolonial gendered subjectivity, politicized ethnolinguistic identity, and neoliberal transformation in South India.

    A _road as an empire : some remarks about the most important ancient periods and powers of and along the Silk Road (2021)

    Keywords: China Zentral-Asien ; Handel ; Seidenstraße ; Geschichte
    Abstract: This paper was presented at the workshop "Goods, Languages, and Cultures along the Silk Road" at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, October 18 and 19, 2019. While many contributions to the workshop focused on recent developments in China`s current "New Silk Road" politics, on forms of communication, and on contemporary exchange of goods and ideas across so-called Silk Road countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia and with China, this short essay focuses on the history of the so-called Silk Road as an important transport connection. Although what is now called the "Silk Road" was not a pure East-West binary in antiquity but rather developed into a network that also led to the South and North, the focus here will be on describing the East-West connection.I will start with a few brief remarks on the origins of the connection referred to as the Silk Road and will then introduce the different great empires that shaped this connection between antiquity and the Middle Ages through military campaigns and by using it as a trading route and network. But the Silk Road was by no means only of economic and military importance. Its significance for the exchange and dissemination of religions should also be mentioned. This paper does not detail the importance of the numerous individual religions in the area of the Silk Road but discusses the phenomenon of the spread of religions and the loss of some of their own distinguishing characteristics in this spread, a phenomenon that could be described as a "unity of opposites" (coincidentia oppositorum). Finally, the essay asks who, in the face of the regular replacement of powers, held sovereignty over the transport connection: the subject (in the form of the empires) or the object (in the form of the road).Who were the main protagonists of and along the Silk Road in the course of history? Who were the people who became the great powers of the ancient Silk Road, building up the material route, governing parts of it, and organizing trade and relationships from the far East to the extreme West of the Eurasian continent?

    Abstract: This volume comprises a curated conversation between members of the Material Culture Section of UCL Anthropology. Many of the chapters explicitly lay out the state of play in the field, challenging how the anthropology of material culture is being done, and arguing for new directions of enquiry or new methods of investigation. The contributors foreground research methods, with many of the contributors exploring the ramifications of specific methods, and exploring new methodological frameworks to address areas of human experience that require a new analytical approach.The 15 original case studies draw from a range of research contexts, including digital objects, infrastructure, digital objects, data, extra-terrestriality, ethnographic curation, medical materiality, and include timely reappraisals of now classical analytical models that have shaped the way we understand the object, the discipline, knowledge formation, and the artefact.

    Abstract: This rich and detailed ethnographic study analyses the formation and spread of the Sungusungu movement that arose in the early 1980s among the Sukuma-Nyamwezi people in west-central Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria. In the wake of the international oil crisis in the 1970s, aggravated by the costly war with Uganda, Tanzania experienced a peroiod of deep economic and social crisis with inflation, collapsing markets, a shortage of basic commodities and a breakdown of law and order; signified by increasing levels of violent crime, such as organized cattle theft and banditry in the rural areas. Against this backdrop, people began to organize and arm themselves to cope with the disintegrating and malevolent forces they were experiencing, not only as an existential threat to their daily lives but to society at large, The quest for everday peace (mhola) was omnipresent when the Sungusungu movement swept like a bush-fire from village to villlage. Within only a couple of years, several million people were involved in or at least affected by the Sungusungu movement, whose emergence constituted a generic moment that sparked a process with far-reaching social, political and judicial repercussions. Based on long-term filedwork engagements and extensive literature review, Per Brandström analyses the trajectory of the movement from its early emergence as a genuine localized popular movement to an institution for community policing under state supervision and control.

    Abstract: In Colonial Impotence, Benoît Henriet studies the violent contradictions of colonial rule from the standpoint of the Leverville concession, Belgian Congo's largest palm oil exploitation. Leverville was imagined as a benevolent tropical utopia, whose Congolese workers would be "civilized" through a paternalist machinery. However, the concession was marred by inefficiency, endemic corruption and intrinsic brutality. Colonial agents in the field could be seen as impotent, for they were both unable and unwilling to perform as expected. This book offers a new take on the joint experience of colonialism and capitalism in Southwest Congo, and sheds light on their impact on local environments, bodies, societies and cosmogonies.

    Abstract: The Aral Sea is well known for its devastating regression over the second half of the twentieth century, and for its recent partial restoration. Environment and Post-Soviet Transformation in Kazakhstan`s Aral Sea Region is the first book to explore what these monumental changes have meant to those living on the sea`s shores.Following the fluctuating fortunes of the pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet fisheries, the book shows how the vast environmental changes the region has undergone cannot be disentangled from the transformations of Soviet socialism and postsocialism. This ethnographic perspective prompts a critical rethinking of the category of environmental disaster through which the region is predominantly known. Tracing how the sea`s retreat and partial return have been apprehended by diverse local actors in the former port of Aral`sk and surrounding fishing villages, as well as by scientists, bureaucrats and international development workers, William Wheeler draws out the multiple meanings environmental change acquires within different contexts. This study of how people make their lives amidst overlapping ecological and political-economic upheavals is rich in ethnographic detail that is both rooted in Soviet legacies and alive to the new transnational connections that are reshaping the region.Offering a rigorous political ecology of Soviet socialism and after, the book is a major contribution to the nascent environmental anthropology of Central Asia. It will be of interest to environmental anthropologists, environmental historians, and scholars of all disciplines working on Central Asia and the former USSR.

    Abstract: In this ethnographic study of post-paternalist ruination and renovation, Christian Straube explores social change at the intersection of material decay and social disconnection in the former mine township Mpatamatu of Luanshya, one of the oldest mining towns on the Zambian Copperbelt. Touching on topics including industrial history, colonial town planning, social control and materiality, gender relations and neoliberal structural change, After Corporate Paternalism offers unique insights into how people reappropriate former corporate spaces and transform them into personal projects of renovation, fundamentally changing the characteristics of their community.

    Series Statement: Africa in Global History volume 1
    Keywords: Äthiopien Nationenbildung ; Geschichte ; Weltkulturerbe ; UNESCO
    Abstract: The history of development has paid only little attention to cultural projects. This book looks at the development politics that shaped the UNESCO World Heritage programme, with a case study of Ethiopian World Heritage sites from the 1960s to the 1980s. In a large-scale conservation and tourism planning project, selected sites were set up and promoted as images of the Ethiopian nation. This story serves to illustrate UNESCO`s role in constructing a "useful past" in many African countries engaged in the process of nation-building. UNESCO experts and Ethiopian elites had a shared interest in producing a portfolio of antiquities and national parks to underwrite Ethiopia`s imperial claims to regional hegemony with ancient history. The key findings of this book highlight a continuity in Ethiopian history, despite the political ruptures caused by the 1974 revolution and UNESCO`s transformation from knowledge producer to actual provider of development policies. The particular focus on the bureaucratic and political practices of heritage, bridges a gap between cultural heritage studies and the history of international organisations. The result is a first study of the global discourse on heritage as it emerged in the 1960s development decade. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: The Scarcity Slot is the first book to critically examine food security in Africa`s deep past. Amanda L. Logan argues that African foodways have been viewed through the lens of "the scarcity slot," a kind of othering based on presumed differences in resources. Weaving together archaeological, historical, and environmental data with food ethnography, she advances a new approach to building long-term histories of food security on the continent in order to combat these stereotypes. Focusing on a case study in Banda, Ghana that spans the past six centuries, The Scarcity Slot reveals that people thrived during a severe, centuries-long drought just as Europeans arrived on the coast, with a major decline in food security emerging only recently. This narrative radically challenges how we think about African foodways in the past, with major implications for the future. (Umschlagtext)

    Keywords: Australien Arnhem-Land ; Mission ; Missionsgeschichte ; Geschichte ; Dyer, Alfred John [Leben und Werk]
    Abstract: Arriving in the remote Arnhem Land Aboriginal settlement of Oenpelli (Gunbalanya) in 1925, Alf and Mary Dyer aimed to bring Christ to a former buffalo shooting camp and an Aboriginal population many whites considered difficult to control. The Bible in Buffalo Country: Oenpelli Mission 1925-1931 represents a snapshot of the tumultuous first six years of the Church Missionary Society`s mission at Oenpelli and the superintendency of Alfred Dyer between 1925 and 1931. Drawing together documentary and photographic sources with local community memory, a story emerges of miscommunication, sickness, constant logistical issues, and an Aboriginal community choosing when and how to engage with the newcomers to their land.This book provides a fascinating and detailed record of the primary sources of the mission, placed alongside the interpretation and insight of local Traditional Owners. Its contents include the historical and archaeological context of the primary source material, the vivid mission reports and correspondence, along with stunning photographs of the mission and relevant maps, and finally the oral history of Esther Manakgu, presenting Aboriginal memory of this complex era.The Bible in Buffalo Country emerged from community desire for access to the source documents of their own history and for their story to be known by the broader Australian public. It is intended for the benefit of communities in western Arnhem Land and is also a rich resource for historians of Aboriginal history (and other scholars in relevant disciplines).

    Abstract: Seit geraumer Zeit, nicht zuletzt unter dem Einfluss des Klimawandels, nimmt das Interesse der Ethnologie an den Methoden einiger Nachbardisziplinen im Sinne der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit zu. Hierbei spielen die Geographie und in besonderem Maße fernerkundliche Methoden sowie räumliche Analysen eine herausragende Rolle. Ebenso wie, im Kontext diachroner Analysen, die Methoden der Geoarchäologie zur Erfassung der lokalen Historie. Um diese Forschungsansatze den Studierenden der Ethnologie nahezubringen habe ich Frau Mirijam Zickel gebeten mir ihre Masterarbeit, die von Herrn Prof. Dr. Georg Bareth und Frau Dr. Astrid Röpke betreut und mit dem zweiten Platz des Dr. Prill Preises 2020 der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde ausgezeichnet wurde, in leicht veränderter Form, für meine Reihe zur Verfügung zu stellen. Nach einer allgemeinen Darstellung der Methoden der Fernerkundung zeigt Frau Zickel am Beispiel transhumanter Ait Atta auf deren Sommerweiden im Hohen Atlas, wie durch die räumliche Analyse von Fernerkundungsdaten und unter Einbezug von geoarchäologischen Informationen, Erkenntnisse uber die Aufenthaltsplätze der Nomaden im Sommerlager gewonnen werden können. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass die Viehpferche der Nomaden eine zentrale Rolle für die räumliche und zeitliche Erfassung von Transhumanz im Untersuchungsgebiet spielen können. Weiterhin ist es ihr gelungen, mit unterschiedlichen, einander ergänzenden Methoden der Fernerkundung die ökologische Situation des Gebietes und insbesondere der Pferchstandorte zu beleuchten. Ihre Arbeit eröffnet eine neue Perspektive, um die Mensch-Umweltbeziehung im semiariden Bergland von Marokko zu erfassen. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Wie wirkt sich der aktuelle Islamdiskurs auf Bildungsbiografien junger Secondas aus? Wie beeinflussen unterschiedliche Differenzkategorien wie beispielsweise Gender und Religion die Bildungsbiografien? Wirken Sie intersektionell? Die Untersuchung legt dar, wie unterschiedlich junge Secondas aus der Schweiz mit der Herausforderung umgehen, als muslimische Frauen in einem tendenziell islamkritischen Umfeld bildungsbiografisch zu bestehen. Sie zeigt einerseits auf, mit welchen Bildungsbarrieren sie konfrontiert werden, andererseits legt sie basierend auf einer ethnographischen Forschung dar, wie die jungen Frauen auf unterschiedlichste "Taktiken" (De Certeau 1989) zurückgreifen, um auf bildungsbiografische Einschränkungen zu reagieren und diesen zu trotzen. Dabei wird diskutiert, inwiefern Religion als intersektionale, interdependente Analysekategorie gefasst werden kann.

    Keywords: Australien Queensland ; Geschichte ; Psychiatrie ; Kind ; Kindheit ; Wolston Park Hospital (Queensland)
    Abstract: Goodna Girls tells the story of children incarcerated in Wolston Park Hospital, an adult psychiatric facility in Queensland, Australia. It contains the personal testimonies of women who relate - in their own no-holds-barred style and often with irreverent humour - how they, as children, ended up in Wolston Park and how this affected their adult lives. The accounts of hospital staff who witnessed the effects of this heinous policy and spoke out are also included.The book examines the consequences of the Queensland Government`s manipulation of a medical model to respond to `juvenile delinquents`, many of whom were simply vulnerable children absconding from abusive conditions. As Australia faces the repercussions of the institutionalisation of its children in the twentieth century, brought about through a series of government inquiries, Goodna Girls makes a vital contribution to the public history of the Stolen Generations, Former Child Migrants and Forgotten Australians.Goodna Girls presents the research that informed a successful, collective campaign to lobby the Queensland Government to make long overdue and much-needed reparations to a group of courageous survivors. It holds contemporary resonance for scholars, policymakers and practitioners in the fields of public history, welfare, child protection, education, nursing, sociology, medicine and criminology.

    Keywords: Afrika Simbabwe ; Nigeria ; Südafrika ; Christentum ; Pentecost ; Religion ; Kirche ; Dekolonisation ; Geschichte
    Abstract: This book investigates the substantial and growing contribution which African Independent and Pentecostal Churches are making to sustainable development in all its manifold forms. Moreover, this volume seeks to elucidate how these churches reshape the very notion of sustainable development and contribute to the decolonisation of development. Fostering both overarching and comparative perspectives, the book includes chapters on West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, and Burkina Faso) and Southern Africa (Zimbabwe and South Africa). It aims to open up a subfield focused on African Initiated Christianity within the religion and development discourse, substantially broadening the scope of the existing literature. Written predominantly by scholars from the African continent, the chapters in this volume illuminate potentials and perspectives of African Initiated Christianity, combining theoretical contributions, essays by renowned church leaders, and case studies focusing on particular churches or regional contexts. While the contributions in this book focus on the African continent, the notion of development underlying the concept of the volume is deliberately wide and multidimensional, covering economic, social, ecological, political, and cultural dimensions. Therefore, the book will be useful for the community of scholars interested in religion and development as well as researchers within African studies, anthropology, development studies, political science, religious studies, sociology of religion, and theology. It will also be a key resource for development policymakers and practitioners.

    Abstract: In den Jahren 1971/72 waren in Mitteleuropa und Südasien zwei gegenläufige Bewegungen zu beobachten. Während die deutsch-deutsche Entspannungspolitik den Ost-West-Konflikt zu überwinden suchte, entspann sich zwischen den beiden Nachfolgestaaten Britisch-Indiens ein Krieg, der zur Teilung Pakistans und Gründung Bangladeschs führen sollte. Indien unterstützte die bengalische Unabhängigkeitsbewegung gegen die pakistanische Zentralregierung.Entscheidend sind hierbei die unterschiedlichen Block-Allianzen der jeweils agierenden Nationalstaaten: Waren Bundesrepublik und DDR ihre Loyalitäten im Kalten Krieg recht klar, so blieben sie im bündnisfreien Indien bewusst weitaus unklarer. Dennoch war mit Abschluss des Indisch-Sowjetischen Freundschaftsvertrages im August 1971 eine (vor allem sicherheitspolitische) Annäherung der indischen Regierung an die UdSSR zu beobachten, derweil Pakistan schon früher zu einem wichtigen strategischen Partner der USA auf dem Subkontinent avanciert war.Ausgehend von der Hypothese, dass für Bundesrepublik und DDR Anfang der 1970er Jahre die Auseinandersetzung miteinander ihre Loyalitäten im Kalten Krieg überwog, untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit die Haltung der beiden deutschen Staaten im Bangladeschkrieg.

    Abstract: A Bridge Between is the first account of the Benedictine women who worked at New Norcia and the first book-length exploration of twentieth-century life in the Western Australian mission town. From the founding of a grand school intended for `nativas`, through links to Mexico and Paraguay then Ireland, India and Belgium, as well as to their house in the Kimberley, and a network of villages near Burgos in the north of Spain, this is a complex international history. A Bridge Between gathers a powerful, fragmented story from the margins of the archive, recalling the Aboriginal women who joined the community in the 1950s and the compelling reunion of missionaries and former students in 2001. By tracing the all-but-forgotten story of the community of Benedictine women who were central to the experience of the mission for many Aboriginal families in the twentieth century, this book lays a foundation for further work.

    Keywords: Film Film, ethnographischer ; Dokumentarfilm ; Indigenität ; Urheberrecht ; Geschichte
    Abstract: This book analyses the authoring of ethnographic films between 1895 and 2015. It is based on the general argument that the ethnographicness of a film should not be gauged according to whether it is about an exotic culture, but rather by the degree to which it conforms to the norms of ethnographic practice more generally. On these grounds, it considers films made in a broad range of styles, on a wide range of topics and in many different parts of the world. For the period before the Second World War, it discusses films made within reportage, travel and melodrama genres as well as more conventionally ethnographic films. In the postwar period, it examines the work of film-makers such as John Marshall, Asen Balikci, Ian Dunlop and Timothy Asch and considers the modes of authorship developed by Jean Rouch, Robert Gardner and Colin Young. It also discusses films authored by indigenous subjects using video technology from the 1970s, and the ethnographic films that flourished on British television until the 1990s. In the final part, it examines the recent work of David and Judith MacDougall, the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab, and various films authored in a participatory manner as possible models for the future.

    Abstract: Einschalten, Sender suchen und die Welt im Ohr haben: Internationales Radio prägte Politik und Alltag im Kalten Krieg. Patricia Jäggi untersucht mit Fokus auf dem Schweizer internationalen Sender die Blütezeit dieses globalen Mediums. Dazu versetzt sie sich in die Rolle von Radiohörer*innen und rekonstruiert mittels eines innovativen methodischen Zugangs damaliges auditives Erleben. Neben Tonarchivalien des Schweizer Senders aus den Jahren 1950 bis 1975, in denen die Alpen genauso journalistisch wie radiophon dargestellt wurden, wird die technische Übermittlung nachgestellt und damit auch die Geräuschwelt des Äthers als Teil des auditiven Erlebenshorizonts untersucht. Das Buch liefert neue Zusammenhänge zwischen Klangwelt, Kulturdiplomatie und Kosmopolitismus. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Mongolia’s mining sector, along with its environmental and social costs, have been the subject of prolonged and heated debate. This debate has often cast the country as either a victim of the ‘resource curse’ or guilty of ‘resource nationalism’. In The State, Popular Mobilisation and Gold Mining in Mongolia, Dulam Bumochir aims to avoid the pitfalls of this debate by adopting an alternative theoretical approach. He focuses on the indigenous representations of nature, environment, economy, state and sovereignty that have triggered nationalist and statist responses to the mining boom. In doing so, he explores the ways in which these responses have shaped the apparently ‘neo-liberal’ policies of twenty-first century Mongolia, and the economy that has emerged from them, in the face of competing mining companies, protest movements, international donor organizations, economic downturn, and local and central government policies.

    Abstract: Being a first of its kind, this volume comprises a multi-disciplinary exploration of Mozambique`s contemporary and historical dynamics, bringing together scholars from across the globe. Focusing on the country`s vibrant cultural, political, economic and social world - including the transition from the colonial to the postcolonial era - the book argues that Mozambique is a country still emergent, still unfolding, still on the move. Drawing on the disciplines of history, literature studies, anthropology, political science, economy and art history, the book serves not only as a generous introduction to Mozambique but also as a case study of a southern African country.

    Abstract: Mickey Dewar made a profound contribution to the history of the Northern Territory, which she performed across many genres. She produced high-quality, memorable and multi-sensory histories, including the Cyclone Tracy exhibition at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the reinterpretation of Fannie Bay Gaol. Informed by a great love of books, her passion for history was infectious. As well as offering three original chapters that appraise her work, this edited volume republishes her first book, In Search of the Never-Never. In Dewar`s comprehensive and incisive appraisal of the literature of the Northern Territory, she provides brilliant, often amusing insights into the ever-changing representations of a region that has featured so large in the Australian popular imagination.

    Keywords: Polen Mongolen ; Tataren ; Muslime ; Geschichte ; Selbstbild ; Ethnizität ; Fremdwahrnehmung
    Abstract: Frau Pega hat in ihrer Masterarbeit ein Thema behandelt, das aus verschiedenen Gründen bedeutsam ist. Zum einen findet sich, abgesehen von Veröffentlichungen in polnischer Sprache und den Übersetzungen einzelner Artikel ins Englische, keine umfassende Publikation zu den muslimischen Tataren, die seit Jahrhunderten im Osten Polens leben. Weiterhin kommt der Arbeit eine übergeordnete Bedeutung zu: In einer Zeit, geprägt von zunehmender Islamfeindlichkeit und Problemen der Integration, gibt die Geschichte und Gegenwart der Tataren in Polen ein Beispiel für harmonisches Zusammenleben einer muslimischen Minderheit mit einer christlichen Mehrheit. Nach einer Einleitung und einem Überblick über den Forschungsstand zu polnischen Tatar*innen gibt Frau Pega eine Zusammenfassung zur Geschichte der Tataren seit der Zeit der "Goldene Horde", über die ersten Ansiedlungen im Großfürstentum Litauen und Ostpolen bis hin zu ihrer heutigen Situation. Im Folgenden wendet sie sich dem Schwerpunkt der Arbeit zu: Ethnizität und Kultur der polnischen Tataren. Hier haben sowohl Untersuchungen der polnischen Sozialwissenschaft als auch die von Frau Pega durchgeführten Befragungen zur Ethnizität immer wieder zu ähnlichen Antworten geführt: die Befragten bezeichneten sich jeweils als "muslimische Polen", "Polen muslimischen Glaubens mit tatarischen Wurzeln" oder auch nur als "Tatarische Polen". Des Weiteren weisen auch die Befragungen bei der Mehrheitsbevölkerung auf sehr geringe Vorurteile gegenüber dem muslimischen Bevölkerungsanteil hin. In einem der folgenden Kapitel wird geschildert wie Tataren bemüht sind ihre Traditionen zu erhalten, was nicht nur die Pflege ihrer Moscheen und islamischen Friedhöfe betrifft, sondern auch ihre Bemühungen, die Erinnerung an ein zentralasiatisches Erbe wachzuhalten. Dies kommt besonders bei ihren Festen und alljährlichen Veranstaltungen auf der "Tatarenroute" zum Ausdruck, bei denen Bogenschießen, Reiterspiele oder auch das Leben in einer Jurte vorgestellt werden. In ihrem Fazit weist Frau Pega auf einige Ursachen für das konfliktfreie Miteinander der beiden Gemeinschaften hin: Es sind die seit Jahrhunderten gemeinsam durchlebte Geschichte Polens, die immerwährende Staatstreue der Tataren, besonders aber das Wissen um die heldenhaften tatarischen Heerführer in den polnischen Armeen, die ein wesentlicher Teil des kollektiven Gedächtnis aller Polen manifestiert hat. Weiterhin führte der wenig orthodox ausgeprägte Islam dazu, dass Heiraten zwischen Christen und Muslimen keine Seltenheit sind. Abschließend könnte gesagt werden, dass sich hier, über die Jahrhunderte, ein "Euro-Islam" im Sinne Bassam Tibis entwickelt hat. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: "Centré sur l`ethnologie française des années 1930-1960, enrichi de deux articles consacrés à Jomo Kenyatta et James Mooney, ce Carnet de Bérose revient sur la question, aujourd`hui encore brûlante, des relations entre anthropologie et colonialisme. Ce qui fut l`un des enjeux majeurs de l`histoire des sciences humaines et sociales au vingtième siècle le demeure au vingt-et-unième. À partir d`une série d`essais biographiques mettant la focale sur l`ethnologue engagé dans un terrain colonial précis et daté, un tel ouvrage souhaite combler une attente au sein du monde éditorial francophone. Nous renouons ainsi avec les questions posées par Leiris à sa communauté professionnelle en 1950 : comment les ethnologues assument-ils leur implication dans le système colonial ? Comment s`articulent l`expérience ethnographique et les responsabilités de l`anthropologue vis-à-vis du colonialisme ? Pour cette génération d`anthropologues qui ont partagé l`expérience d`un même monde en rupture, en résistance et en mouvement, confrontés aux guerres coloniales, à leurs propres désenchantements et ambivalences, l`aventure de l`ethnologie fait place rapidement à une ethnologie « pratique », impliquée et appliquée, qui met au défi leur positionnement savant et politique. Michel Leiris, Georges Balandier, Charles Le Cœur, Jacques Berque, Jacques Soustelle, Pierre Bourdieu, Paul Mus, Georges Condominas, Maurice Leenhardt, Jean Guiart, Paul Hazoumé, Fily Dabo Sissoko, ou encore Jomo Kenyatta et James Mooney : autant d`ethnologues apprentis aux prises avec une pluralité de situations coloniales à chaque fois singulières obligeant à nuancer la vision parfois monolithique du rapport savoir/pouvoir."

    Abstract: Tulagi was the capital of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate between 1897 and 1942. The British withdrawal from the island during the Pacific War, its capture by the Japanese and the American reconquest left the island's facilities damaged beyond repair. After the war, Britain moved the capital to the American military base on Guadalcanal, which became Honiara. The Tulagi settlement was an enclave of several small islands, the permanent population of which was never more than 600: 300 foreigners--one-third of European origin and most of the remainder Chinese--and an equivalent number of Solomon Islanders. Thousands of Solomon Islander males also passed through on their way to work on plantations and as boat crews, hospital patients and prisoners. The history of the Tulagi enclave provides an understanding of the origins of modern Solomon Islands. Tulagi was also a significant outpost of the British Empire in the Pacific, which enables a close analysis of race, sex and class and the process of British colonisation and government in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

    Description / Table of Contents: "En 1881, Antonio Machado y Álvarez (1846-1893) s`inspire des modèles européens, en particulier des postulats théoriques et de l`organisation institutionnelle de la Folk-Lore Society, pour promouvoir l`institutionnalisation des savoirs ethnographiques en Espagne. Élevé au sein d`une famille marquée par le patriotisme libéral, l`engagement progressiste et scientifique ? il est le fils de l`introducteur de Darwin en Espagne ?, ce double héritage façonne sa conception de la discipline folklorique et de son approche. Ses convictions républicaines de teinte fédéraliste l`incitent non pas à choisir le modèle de société centralisée des Britanniques, mais à constituer un réseau fédéral de sociétés régionales de folklore, mieux adapté, selon lui, à la réalité culturelle et territoriale espagnole. Son amour du peuple ? son premier nom de plume était Demófilo (l`ami du peuple) ? imprègne également sa démarche méthodologique. Son outil emblématique est la constitution de cartes topographiques traditionnelles qui présentent, à ses yeux, un double avantage : rechercher dans la mémoire traditionnelle les sources d`une histoire plus démocratique, mettre en relation territoire et histoire afin de faire émerger la diversité culturelle territoriale, entendue comme source de cohésion et de régénération. Son ambition fédératrice se traduit aussi sur le front européen, puisqu`il propose à ses condisciples Giuseppe Pitrè, Teófilo Braga et Paul Sébillot le projet de fonder une confédération des sociétés folkloriques des pays latins, envisagée comme contrepoids progressiste et démocratique à la conception de la discipline des Britanniques.Cet ouvrage replace ainsi l`homme, sa trajectoire intellectuelle et son modèle folklorique populaire et idéaliste, tant dans l`histoire culturelle de l`Espagne du XIXe que dans l`histoire des savoirs ethnographiques en Europe."

    Have your yellowcake and eat it : men, relatedness and intimacy in Swakopmund, Namibia (2018)

    Abstract: THIS PRESENT THESIS concerns the lives of young men living in Swakopmund, Namibia: the 'uranium capital of the world'. The price of uranium on the international market depends in many ways on emotion and global sentiment - the way that geographically distant persons feel about nuclear things has an impact on the price-per-barrel of this radioactive sand. As such, changes in international regard for uranium and its associated industries - for example nuclear weapons or energy - have a deep impact at a local level, in places of extraction such as Swakopmund. This work is a study of men's relationships with others in the context of uranium mining; the geology of uranium inspires a deeper understanding of men's actions and feelings whilst also priming the notion of uranium as an actor itself. It is the first such work to explore a Namibian city located outside of the north of the country. It is focussed primarily on men, and especially on issues of relatedness and intimacy, questioning the forms that these take in Swakopmund as a city in which financial imbalance is exceptionally pronounced and also highly racialised, skewed in favour of European (white) settlers. Everyone in Swakopmund comes from elsewhere - with the exception of a very small minority - leaving behind the direct influence of the extended family. Away from extended kinship networks persons are, more-or-less, able to build the relationships that they want to, rather than following the wishes of their families. At the time of the fieldwork that this thesis is based on, the global price of uranium was significantly low, meaning that locally there were few full-time contracts available, with employment - when present - occurring largely on a temporary or short-term basis. As such, this dissertation places conceptions of relatedness and intimacy into the context of these global fluctuations, especially in terms of insecurity and risk. Rather than reinforce a notion of male hegemony, this work demonstrates that men are often subject to power structures which are not their own and that they are - more often than might be thought - scared, vulnerable and afraid. More than that, however, uranium is conceptualised as a monster, with various tentacles that reach out in order to grasp, influence and change parts of Namibian society in order to maintain its control over them. Each chapter is an exploration of one such tentacle, following the lines of different relationship types and situations in terms of the uranium industry itself, the home and family, formal and informal work, and friendship. In conclusion I point out that whilst geographical - and indeed, cultural - distance often hints at an intrinsic incommensurability between those who are 'here' and those who are 'there', the relationships formed by persons in Swakopmund are often not so geographically bound. A person's involvement in such an international market as that of uranium is clear evidence of that; uranium connects Swakopmund with those outside. Yet aside from working in industry, men also seek to make a multitude of new kin-connections, some of which remain local and some of which do not. By following the interpersonal and the intersubjective, this work sheds light on the new forms of intimacy and relatedness that manifest in Swakopmund and beyond. (Summary)

    Description / Table of Contents: "Rejeté ou ignoré, devenu invisible, Elsdon Best (1856-1931) est à la fois un ancêtre exclu et une figure clé de l`histoire de l`anthropologie, ne serait-ce que pour avoir amené Marcel Mauss à découvrir le célèbre concept maori du hau. Ce Néo-Zélandais, homme des frontières et représentant majeur de l`ethnographie de sauvetage, est l`auteur d`une œuvre profuse qui aborde les sujets les plus variés. Il s`intéresse surtout à la spiritualité et la religiosité des Maoris qui imprégnaient leur existence à l`époque précoloniale. Influencé par des courants divergents, de l`évolutionnisme à la mythologie comparée, sa production est singulière et invite à une exégèse historiciste pour comprendre les enjeux de son projet anthropologique. Ce Carnet de Bérose met également en évidence l`actualité brûlante des archives de la discipline et les déchirements que provoque aujourd`hui l`héritage ethnographique laissé par Best, notamment dans le contexte néo-zélandais, et dans la communauté savante maorie elle-même. Si on peut difficilement douter de la sincérité de sa démarche, de son attachement aux anciens Maoris et de son admiration pour leur savoir, il est indéniable que leurs relations étaient perverties ou, pour le moins, rendues ambiguës par une situation coloniale profondément asymétrique. Non, décidément, l`histoire de l`anthropologie ne travaille pas que sur des sujets froids ou passéistes. Et l`on voit ici, autour d`une figure en passe de devenir une référence incontournable pour des raisons très éloignées du débat occidental sur le don et le hau maori, s`imbriquer les perspectives historiques et contemporaines. Comme l`écrit Herbert S. Lewis dans la préface : « L`histoire de la discipline et notre relation agitée avec les archives devraient être profondément marquées par la réflexion de Frederico D. Rosa autour du legs de l`ethnographe immémorial qu`est Elsdon Best. »"

    An _uncertain future : anticipating oil in Uganda (2018)

    Abstract: The discovery of oil in Uganda in 2006 ushered in an oil-age era with new prospects of unforeseen riches. However, after an initial exploration boom developments stalled. Unlike other countries with major oil discoveries, Uganda has been slow in developing its oil. In fact, over ten years after the first discoveries, there is still no oil. During the time of the research for this book between 2012 and 2015, Uganda`s oil had not yet fully materialised but was becoming. The overarching characteristic of this research project was waiting for the big changes to come: a waiting characterised by indeterminacy. There is a timeline but every year it gets expanded and in 2018 having oil still seems to belong to an uncertain future. This book looks at the waiting period as a time of not-yet-ness and describes the practices of future- and resource-making in Uganda. How did Ugandans handle the new resource wealth and how did they imagine their future with oil to be? This ethnography is concerned with Uganda`s oil and the way Ugandans anticipated different futures with it: promising futures of wealth and development and disturbing futures of destruction and suffering. The book works out how uncertainty was an underlying feature of these anticipations and how risks and risk discourses shaped the imaginations of possible futures. Much of the talk around the oil involved the dichotomy of blessing or curse and it was not clear, which one the oil would be. Rather than adding another assessment of what the future with oil will be like, this book describes the predictions and prophesies as an essential part of how resources are being made. This ethnography shows how various actors in Uganda, from the state, the oil industry, the civil society, and the extractive communities, have tried to negotiate their position in the oil arena. Annika Witte argues in this book that by establishing their risks and using them as power resources actors can influence the becoming of oil as a resource and their own place in a petro-future. The book offers one of the first ethnographic accounts of Uganda`s oil and the negotiations that took place in an oil state to be. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Regions have been widely expressed in the sovereignty strategies of concrete actors since the early 19th century; Since the end of the Cold War, they seem to be a favored response to current globalization processes, especially in the Global South. This volume introduces the fragmented knowledge of different disciplines on the topic of regions and regionalization projects. Regionen haben in den Souveränitätsstrategien konkreter Akteure bereits seit dem fru¨hen 19. Jahrhundert vielfältigen Ausdruck gefunden; seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges scheinen sie eine bevorzugte Reaktion auf aktuelle Globalisierungsprozesse darzustellen - vor allem im Globalen Süden. Dieser Band führt in die fragmentierten Wissensbestände unterschiedlicher Disziplinen zum Thema Regionen und Regionalisierungsprojekte ein.

    Keywords: Tibet China ; Himalaya ; Muslime ; Grenze ; Diaspora ; Geschichte ; Lhasa 〈Stadt, Tibet〉
    Abstract: "Islamic Shangri-La transports readers into the heart of the Himalayas by tracing the rise of the Tibetan Muslim (Khache) community from the early 17th century to the present. Over the past four centuries, the Tibetan Muslims advised several Dalai Lamas, contributed to Tibetan music and literature, and engaged in transregional trade with many of Tibet`s neighbors. Deftly blending contemporary media accounts and interviews with archival documents, this book brings the frustrations and hopes of Tibetan Muslims, and thus of Tibet, to life. Less a history of religion than a history of the Himalayas, the book explores the eddying currents of peoples and states generally excluded from traditional histories of Asia. Its focus on the Tibetan Muslims` multifaceted role in Tibetan society highlights Tibet`s broader inter-Asian positioning and delves into the intertwined relationship between Tibet and Nepal, Kashmir, and other Himalayan states. The story of the Tibetan Muslims provides a new perspective on a history we thought we knew quite well. Illuminating their positioning within the dynamics of Asian state formation with a particular emphasis on the dramatic events of early to mid-20th century, the book opens an unparalleled examination of the long shadows of Tibet`s past on today`s Asia.

    Abstract: Unjust Conditions follows the lives and labors of poor mothers in rural Peru, richly documenting the ordeals they face to participate in mainstream poverty alleviation programs. Championed by behavioral economists and the World Bank, conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are praised as efficient mechanisms for changing poor people's behavior. While rooted in good intentions and dripping with the rhetoric of social inclusion, CCT programs' successes ring hollow, based solely on metrics for children's attendance at school and health appointments. Looking beyond these statistics reveals a host of hidden costs for the mothers who meet the conditions. With a poignant voice and keen focus on ethnographic research, Tara Patricia Cookson turns the reader's gaze to women's care work in landscapes of grossly inadequate state investment, cleverly drawing out the tensions between social inclusion and conditionality.

    Abstract: To justify the plundering of todays Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.S. intellectual elites have continuously produced dismissive Congo discourses. Tracing these discourses in great depth and breadth for the first time, Johnny Van Hove shows how U.S. intellectuals (and their influential European counterparts) have been using the Congo in similar fashions for their own goals. Analyzing intellectuals as diverse as W.E.B. Du Bois, Joseph Conrad, and David Van Reybrouck, the book offers a theorization of Central West Africa, a case study of normalized narratives on the »Other«, and a stirring wake up call for all contemporary writers on international history and politics.

    Abstract: The Solomon Islands Campaign of World War II has been the subject of many published historical accounts. Most of these accounts present an 'outsider' perspective with limited reference to the contribution of indigenous Solomon Islanders as coastwatchers, scouts, carriers and labourers under the Royal Australian Navy and other Allied military units. Where islanders are mentioned, they are represented as 'loyal' helpers. The nature of local contributions in the war and their impact on islander perceptions are more complex than has been represented in these outsiders' perspectives. Islander encounters with white American troops enabled self-awareness of racial relationships and inequality under the colonial administration, which sparked struggles towards recognition and political autonomy that emerged in parts of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate in the postwar period. Exploitation of postwar military infrastructure by the colonial administration laid the foundation for later sociopolitical upheaval experienced by the country. In the aftermath of the 1998 crisis, the supposed unity and pride that prevailed among islanders during the war has been seen as an avenue whereby different ethnic identities can be unified. This national unification process entailed the construction of the 'Pride of our Nation' monument that aims to restore the pride and identity of Solomon Islanders

    Keywords: Namibia Berg-Damara ; Geschichte ; Geschichte, politische ; Historiographie
    Abstract: Die Dissertation stellt eine ethnografische Studie der Produktion von Geschichte durch Damara dar, einer Minderheit in Namibia. Die motivierten Erinnerungen von Kollektiven und Individuen verdeutlichen, dass es sich dabei um eine Strategie der doppelten politischen Positionierung handelt, einmal der Damara als gleichberechtigter Teil der Nation, zum anderen einzelner traditioneller Führungspersönlichkeiten im Kontext von Ethnie und Staatspolitik. Der Anteil der in acht eigenständige lokale Gruppen unterteilten Damara beträgt sieben Prozent an der Gesamtbevölkerung von etwa 2,4 Millionen. Den größten Anteil bilden mit 52 Prozent Owambo. Die Geschichtsproduktion lässt sich in zwei Phasen unterteilen. Nach der Unabhängigkeit im Jahre 1990 ging es zunächst um den Aufbau der neuen Nation unter Berücksichtigung der gesetzlichen Eingliederung von Ethnien in das neue Staatswesen. Nach dem Gedenkjahr 2004 an den Deutsch-Namibischen Krieg von 1904-1908 und den Völkermord an Herero und Nama wurde das Interesse der Darama vorrangig, auch als Kriegsopfer anerkannt zu werden. Damara imaginieren ihre Zusammengehörigkeit mit dem Eigennamen #NuKhoen - "schwarze Menschen", den sie sich als Erstbewohner selbst gegeben haben sollen, und einer gemeinsamen Sprache. Bedeutende Akteure der Geschichtsproduktion sind zwei traditionelle Würdenträger, die zugleich in der Politik aktiv sind. Der eine trägt den traditionellen Titel `König`. Eine Königswürde wird vom Staat aber nicht anerkannt. Der `König` vertritt Damara-Interessen in der Staatspolitik über die kleine oppositionelle Partei UDF, die als Damara-Partei gilt. Der andere ist ein lokaler chief, der staatlich anerkannt ist und zum Vizepräsidenten des staatlichen Council of Traditional Leaders gewählt wurde. Als Mitglied der mächtigen Regierungspartei SWAPO steht er in politischer Konkurrenz zum `König`. Darüber hinaus ist er anders als der sogenannte `König` königlicher Herkunft. Er stammt von dem ersten von der deutschen Kolonialmacht eingesetzten `König` ab. Die lokalen Sub-Gruppen sind in zwei parteipolitische Gruppierungen fraktioniert. Als Wähler der UDF oder der SWAPO erwarten sie von dem jeweiligen Würdenträger als parteipolitischen Repräsentanten die Vertretung ihrer lokalen Interessen in der Staatspolitik. Das wichtigste Instrument der Geschichtsproduktion sind Kulturfeste. Kollektive Partizipation und rituelle Inszenierung vermitteln kulturelle und politische Identität. Als ein Ergebnis lokaler Geschichtsproduktion kann die Veröffentlichung der Gewohnheitsrechte (2013) der sieben staatlich anerkannten Sub-Gruppen verzeichnet werden. Als politische Strategie jedoch bleibt die Geschichtsproduktion ein still ongoing process. (Zusammenfassung)

    Abstract: Malaita is one of the major islands in the Solomons Archipelago and has the largest population in the Solomon Islands nation. Its people have an undeserved reputation for conservatism and aggression. Making Mala argues that in essence Malaitans are no different from other Solomon Islanders, and that their dominance, both in numbers and their place in the modern nation, can be explained through their recent history. A grounding theme of the book is its argument that, far than being conservative, Malaitan religions and cultures have always been adaptable and have proved remarkably flexible in accommodating change. This has been the secret of Malaitan success. Malaitans rocked the foundations of the British protectorate during the protonationalist Maasina Rule movement in the 1940s and the early 1950s, have heavily engaged in internal migration, particularly to urban areas, and were central to the 'Tension Years' between 1998 and 2003. Making Mala reassesses Malaita's history, demolishes undeserved tropes and uses historical and cultural analyses to explain Malaitans' place in the Solomon Islands nation today.

    Abstract: War and Other Means describes and analyses the practices of war, the `objects of war` and the conventions of the use of violence in Houaïlou, New Caledonia. It focuses on the colonial repression conducted in 1856 and after, the anti-sorcerer hunt in 1955, the independence mobilisation in the 1980s and the village feuds in the 2000s. Through this archaeology of violence, it reports on the practical inventiveness, intelligence and cunning of the Kanaks involved in social, often violent, conflicts. The use of archival material and recourse to the oral stories gathered from the inhabitants of Houaïlou restores the depth of these historical moments and the nested contexts of the political action that unfolded; it also questions the value and limits of fieldwork investigation. These episodes are moments of change in the social, administrative, land and political organisation of New Caledonia; they make it possible to understand, from France`s takeover to the present day, the real modalities of implementation of colonial and postcolonial governmentality. The attention given to the invention, the importation or the adaptation of repressive techniques, closely linked to the French experience in Algeria, opens up a geopolitics of colonisation. Through this detailed description of the social logics of conflict, Michel Naepels also invites us to reflect on the place of European fantasies on violence and on the representations of otherness.

    Abstract: Kuk is a settlement at c. 1600 m altitude in the upper Wahgi Valley of the Western Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea, near Mount Hagen, the provincial capital. The site forms part of the highland spine that runs for more than 2500 km from the western head of the island of New Guinea to the end of its eastern tail. Until the early 1930s, when the region was first explored by European outsiders, it was thought to be a single, uninhabited mountain chain. Instead, it was found to be a complex area of valleys and basins inhabited by large populations of people and pigs, supported by the intensive cultivation of the tropical American sweet potato on the slopes above swampy valley bottoms. With the end of World War II, the area, with others, became a focus for the development of coffee and tea plantations, of which the establishment of Kuk Research Station was a result. Large-scale drainage of the swamps produced abundant evidence in the form of stone axes and preserved wooden digging sticks and spades for their past use in cultivation. Investigations in 1966 at a tea plantation in the upper Wahgi Valley by a small team from The Australian National University yielded a date of over 2000 years ago for a wooden stick collected from the bottom of a prehistoric ditch. The establishment of Kuk Research Station a few kilometres away shortly afterwards provided an ideal opportunity for a research project.

    Abstract: Ethnicity and the Colonial State analyses, through a comparison of three West African communities (Wolof, Temne, and Ewe), the ways in which ethnic labels and arguments are used (or omitted) in dealings with colonial administrations. It follows these strategies and choices over more than a century, between the conquest periods and independence. Where state structures were weak as a factor of group cohesion, ethnic arguments were especially likely to come into play. The analysis discusses internal fissures and conflicting interests within the communities as other incentives for ethnic coalition-building. The observations made in this book are put into the context of a global historical perspective, for which "ethnicity" has so far remained a badly defined concept.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Group identifications : African and global categories -- Wolof and Wolofisation : statehood, colonial rule, and identification in Senegal -- Fragmentation and the Temne : from war raids into ethnic civil wars -- 'Ethnic identity' as an anti-colonial weapon? Ewe mobilisation from the late nineteenth century to the 1960s -- Conclusion.

    Abstract: "In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Dutch diplomats, scholars and travellers assembled unique collections in Jeddah, Mecca and Medina. The Dutch presence in Arabia, where they established a consulate in Jeddah, was intimately connected with the supervision of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca from the Netherlands East Indies, present-day Indonesia. Notable guests at this consulate included the formidable Dutch Islamicist Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, visiting Arabia in 1884-1885. With the invaluable help of local Muslims, Dutch collectors tried to capture the essence of what they regarded as an `authentic` Oriental culture in a period when Arabia was already looking towards modernity. These extensive collections are now preserved at the Leiden Museum of Ethnology and Leiden University Libaries. Together, they allow a glimpse into a colourful and vibrant society."

    Keywords: Äthiopien Eritrea ; Gesellschaft ; Geschichte ; Bibliographie
    Abstract: This work is another instalment of a scholarly bibliography in the social sciences and history of Ethiopia and Eritrea, produced at the African Studies Centre (University of Leiden). It is the fifth and last publication by the author on this subject, and is only published as an E-book (The other volumes - of 1991, 1995, 2003 and 2010 - were first published in print form). The bibliography gives a representative choice of the most important and insightful scholarly contributions (and also some of the more `popular` material written for wider audiences) of the past five years, which have seen a notable acceleration of work and many new insights into the dynamics of the North-East African region. While fairly complete on a number of themes, citing the most authoritative titles, the work is obviously not exhaustive in its coverage. It provides, nonetheless, an essential starting point for research work, reference and teaching on the societies, culture and history of Northeast Africa.

    Abstract: The academic field of Dalit studies is relatively new, emerging since the 1990s in South Asia and in diasporic communities. Dalit intellectuals theorize Indian historiography and social sciences through the lenses of humiliation and dignity, pointing to the painful history of Dalit groups (formerly called untouchables) and the contemporary perpetuation of caste inequality. As part of a challenge to high-caste Hindu intelligentsia with privileged upbringings, DALIT STUDIES includes a high proportion of Dalit scholars from non-elite social and institutional backgrounds. Contributors analyze the work of Dalit activists across colonial and postcolonial periods, countering a tradition of viewing them as passive victims and objects of reform.This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched.

    Abstract: Wie verlaufen die Argumentationsmuster in Völkerkundemuseen und den Wissenschaften der Völkerkunde sowie der Anthropologie zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts? Das Buch versucht, dieser Frage an zwei Fallbeispielen nachzugehen, indem der theoretische Diskurs der Sammlungs-, Ausstellungs-, Lehr- und Forschungspraxis gegenübergestellt wird. Der identifizierte Wandel von einem »Kultur«- hin zu einem »Rasse«-Begriff sowie der Perspektivenwechsel von Objekten hin zu Körpern wird dabei in einem breiten kolonialen Kontext interpretiert - über ein tradiertes Epochenverständnis hinaus. Dadurch werden Kontinuitäten und Brüche präziser erkennbar als bislang üblich.

    Abstract: Ending Slavery offers insights into the how of practices of slavery that persist in parts of Mauritania up to the present day. It brings to the light the gendered structures of Moorish slavery, and examines their impact on strategies and tactics designed to bring this institution to an end. Underlying this study is empirical data gathered during two periods of field research in rural central Mauritania. The analysis of life histories of slaves and freed slaves, but also of tributaries and free Moors plays a key role in the book.

    Abstract: Les premières années du vingtième siècle sont fertiles en moments, événements et publications qui, rétrospectivement, dénotent tous la recomposition en cours de la « science de l`homme », comme l`appelaient alors ses protagonistes. Une effervescence institutionnelle caractérise ce champ scientifique qui voit une autonomisation accrue de plusieurs disciplines marquant chacune leur territoire et leurs ambitions, parallèlement à un affaiblissement du magistère de l`anthropologie physique. Dans la division du travail scientifique, la pratique ethnographique gagne progressivement en légitimité. L`intensité des débats sur les origines et les formes des religions primitives bouscule la théologie catholique, en même temps qu`elle fait entendre une analyse savante et laïque des phénomènes religieux grâce à une attention grandissante accordée aux matériaux ethnographiques qui viennent nourrir la réflexion des historiens des religions, sociologues, philosophes, préhistoriens, anthropologues et linguistes.S`il s`agit bien d`une histoire disciplinaire qui est ici esquissée, elle tente de dépasser ce strict découpage pour rappeler que l`anthropologie fut au croisement de nombreuses disciplines qui ont également contribué à son émergence et à sa reconnaissance. Par ses multiples coups de sonde dans ce champ scientifique très dynamique, 1913, la recomposition de la science de l`homme propose un état des lieux certes incomplet mais suggestif des tensions, des enjeux, des rapports de force, des dialogues, des pratiques scientifiques, qui le structurent et l`animent. Les différents auteurs rassemblés ici font le pari de la pertinence heuristique de l`approche situationnelle, contextuelle, institutionnelle, pour une histoire de l`anthropologie qui s`intéresserait tout à la fois aux idées, aux revues, aux institutions de savoir, aux réseaux de sociabilité savante, aux acteurs qui n`eurent pas tous l`heur d`être sacrés pères fondateurs de la discipline.

    Abstract: This collection represents a serious re-examination of existing work on the Aboriginal history of nineteenth-century Victoria, deploying the insights of postcolonial thought to wrench open the inner workings of territorial expropriation and its historically tenacious variability. Colonial historians have frequently asserted that the management and control of Aboriginal people in colonial Victoria was historically exceptional; by the end of the century, colonies across mainland Australia looked to Victoria as a `model` for how to manage the problem of Aboriginal survival. This collection carefully traces the emergence and enactment of this `model` in the years after colonial separation, the idiosyncrasies of its application and the impact it had on Aboriginal lives.

    Abstract: "Portée sur les fonts baptismaux par une hypothèse sensationnelle qui laissait augurer la découverte d`une écriture néolithique, la mission franco-belge Métraux-Lavachery à l`île de Pâques tint toutes ses promesses, mais d`une façon inattendue qui mit en déroute ses parrains en ce qu`elle les désavoua. Alfred Métraux et Henri Lavachery accostèrent fin juillet 1934 dans un lieu lourdement chargé d`histoires, indigène, coloniale, scientifique, qui s`enchevêtraient étroitement pour conférer à l`île de Pâques le statut de paradis perdu, a fortiori pour des ethnologues avides de pureté culturelle, d`authenticité inviolée. En 1934, les deux savants eurent affaire à une société déjà très ethnologisée, un « vieil os rongé » (Métraux) qui mettait au défi l`impératif de sauvetage ethnographique à la racine de toute mission ethnographique dans ces premières décennies du XXe siècle. C`est peu de dire que les conséquences des terribles exactions perpétrées dans les années 1860, la situation coloniale de l`île de Pâques, son statut de lieu mystérieux qui aimante explorateurs et savants, affectaient puissamment la façon dont le savoir ethnographique était recueilli auprès des informateurs indigènes - tout autant que la nature même de ce savoir. Valorisant de nombreuses archives inédites, cet ouvrage fait une large place à la restitution du déroulement pratique de la mission, insistant tout particulièrement sur la qualité de la relation ethnographique nouée avec Juan Tepano et Victoria Rapahongo. Il rappelle l`importance des recherches archéologiques et ethnologiques menées par Alfred Métraux et Henri Lavachery en les resituant dans leur contexte, la vigueur de la polémique sur la nature du rongorongo, et le statut ambigu accordé à la production contemporaine d`objets d`art pascuan. Comptant parmi les missions ethnographiques françaises des années 1930 effectuées hors du pré colonial français, la mission Métraux-Lavachery propulsa définitivement les études rapanui sur une orbite scientifique internationale."

    Abstract: Organisée par l`Institut d`ethnologie de l`université de Paris et par le Muséum national d`histoire naturelle, la mission ethnographique et linguistique Dakar-Djibouti (1931-1933) occupe une position ambiguë dans l`histoire de l`anthropologie : elle inaugure officiellement l`ère des grandes enquêtes de terrain de l`ethnologie française en même temps qu`elle clôt celle des grandes expéditions ethnographiques et naturalistes que les nations colonisatrices d`Europe occidentale avaient suscitées avant la Première Guerre mondiale. À ce titre, elle accuse le retard que, par rapport à ces nations, la France a pris dans le domaine des recherches ethnologiques de terrain, retard que Marcel Mauss avait déjà signalé en 1913 - mais en vain - et qui ne justifie guère la spectacularisation parfois exagérée que connut cette mission avant son départ en mai 1931. Ou, au contraire, elle la justifie pleinement puisqu`il s`agit d`une mission de « rattrapage » et, dans la foulée de l`Exposition coloniale internationale de Paris inaugurée en mai 1931, de se hausser, pour le gouvernement français qui va l`encadrer et la financer, au niveau des autres grandes puissances occidentales, fût-ce à coups de publicité, d`annonces, d`interviews, d`expositions et autres manifestations publiques, jusques et y compris un combat de boxe donné au bénéfice de la mission Dakar-Djibouti avant son départ. Cette position paradoxale n`est cependant pas la seule qu`on peut relever à propos de cette mission, dont les avancées méthodologiques et théoriques ne seront guère à la hauteur de l`important « butin muséographique » qu`elle rapporta au Musée d`ethnographie du Trocadéro, ancêtre du musée de l`Homme.

    Abstract: Die von Prof. Michael Bollig betreute Bachelorarbeit von Anne Turin war in die Forschungsarbeiten der Forschergruppe 1501 Resilience, Collapse and Reorganisation in the Social-Ecological Systems of Eastern and Southern African Savannahs eingebettet. In der interdisziplinären Gruppe arbeiten Ökologen und Kulturwissenschaftler zu Transformationsprozessen im zentralen Südafrika. Während sich das Gros der Forschungsarbeiten auf die vergangenen Dekaden bezieht, bearbeitete Anne Turin einen der grundlegenden historischen Transformationsprozesse, die diese Region durchgemacht hat. Die Durchdringung der Region durch europäische Siedler zwischen 1830 und 1870 führte zu einer rasanten Umgestaltung sozial-ökologischer Beziehungen. Im großen Stile wurden Wildpopulationen ausgerottet und Mensch-Umweltbeziehungen gänzlich neu definiert. In beeindruckender Sorgfältigkeit hat Anne Turin diesen Prozess durch intensive Archivstudien in Südafrika (hier insbesondere die Archive Bloemfonteins) dokumentiert. Die Arbeit bietet erstmals einen umfassenden Einblick in den Kollaps des präkolonialen sozial-ökologischen Systems in einer Phase der katastrophalen Überjagung sämtlicher Wildbestände.

    Abstract: Coffee is not only a popular drink, but also linked different worlds: The coffee trade linked Hamburg and Bremen to transnational networks between Europe and Latin America.Central America was important for global coffee trade because the region was the first to introduce the "wet" form of treatment. The high quality of these "washed" coffees made them sought-after on the world market. German immigrants shaped the trade links between the Central American coffee-growing regions and the North German port cities: They founded export companies, purchased coffee plantations and participated in the prefinancing of the harvests.Christiane Berth analyses biographies and networks of German coffee actors in Guatemala, Costa Rica and Chiapas. It shows how their trade networks became fragile as a result of economic crises and new foreign policy constellation, how it came under pressure in National Socialism and broke up during the Second World War. Nevertheless, trade relations between nation states, networks in the coffee industry and the biographies of coffee players remained closely interlinked, even in the post-war period.

    Keywords: Israel Archäologie ; Geschichte
    Abstract: This monograph describes the results of the archaeological excavation at the site of Tell Jem meh, Israel, undertaken by the Smithsonian Institution and directed by Gus W. Van Beek during the years 1970-1990. All the artifacts from the excavations were shipped from Israel to Washington, D.C., and have been restored, studied, and analyzed in the National Museum of Natural History for the past four decades.The site is a strategic and large mound located near Gaza and the Mediterranean coast. It was inhabited continuously for at least 1,400 years during the Middle and Late Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and the Persian period. The highlights of this excavation are the findings of a large and affluent courtyard house from the Late Bronze Age, a sophisticated well-preserved pottery kiln from the early Iron Age, a complex of Assyrian related administrative buildings during the late Iron Age, and a complete granary of the Persian period. This is a detailed and final report on all of the excavation results, including the architectural remains, stratigraphy, pottery, and other finds. In addition, several more detailed and focused studies of certain aspects of the site`s material include (among others) chapters on imported, decorated, Philistine, Assyrian-style and Greek pottery and chapters on figurines, sealings, jewelry, amulets, scarabs, cylinder seals, flint, coins, ostraca, and fauna.The volume is richly illustrated with nearly 1,000 figures showing field photographs, plans, sections, and drawings and photographs of artifacts. The significance of the results is summarized and discussed in the final chapter.

    Abstract: En janvier 1935, Deborah Lifchitz et Denise Paulme quittent Paris pour gagner le village dogon de Sanga (Soudan français) en même temps que les sept membres de la mission Sahara-Soudan dirigée par Marcel Griaule. Mais la bourse de la fondation Rockefeller que Denise Paulme a obtenue, et dont elle partage le montant avec son amie, leur donne la possibilité de prolonger leur séjour sur le terrain jusqu`au mois d`octobre. Les travaux qu`elles mènent alors de conserve leur permettent à leur retour d`imposer leur expérience comme une mission à part entière, plutôt que comme un simple prolongement de Sahara-Soudan. En effet, si la mission Paulme-Lifchitz ne s`est pas à tous les égards distinguée de la mission de Marcel Griaule ou d`autres missions effectuées dans la période de l`Entre-deux-guerres, elle a néanmoins mis en oeuvre un ensemble de propositions nouvelles, à travers lesquelles l`identité sexuée des deux ethnologues joue un rôle important.

    Abstract: This book offers a fresh perspective in the debate on settler perceptions of Indigenous Australians. It draws together a suite of little known colonial women (apart from Eliza Fraser) and investigates their writings for what they reveal about their attitudes to, views on and beliefs about Aboriginal people, as presented in their published works. The way that reader expectations and publishers` requirements slanted their representations forms part of this analysis.All six women write of their first-hand experiences on Australian frontiers of settlement. The division into `adventurers` (Eliza Fraser, Eliza Davies and Emily Cowl) and longer-term `settlers` (Katherine Kirkland, Mary McConnel and Rose Scott Cowen) allows interrogation into the differing representations between those with a transitory knowledge of Indigenous people and those who had a close and more permanent relationship with Indigenous women, even encompassing individual friendship. More pertinently, the book strives to reveal the aspects, largely overlooked in colonial narratives, of Indigenous agency, authority and individuality. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: Deux ans après le retour de Dakar-Djibouti, Marcel Griaule prend la direction de la mission Sahara-Soudan afin de compléter les recherches et les collectes effectuées en pays dogon. Malgré sa brièveté, cette expédition transsaharienne est toujours conçue comme une exploration aventureuse de sociétés africaines incarnant, aux yeux des ethnographes, une tradition originelle à archiver dans l`urgence. En revanche, les objectifs et les méthodes d`enquête ont évolué. Pour ce second séjour en pays dogon, Griaule et ses collègues ne visent plus l`inventaire exhaustif d`une culture, mais la découverte d`objets et de secrets millénaires cachés au fond de grottes ou de « sanctuaires » systématiquement fouillés (après leur repérage aérien ou terrestre). Cette nouvelle orientation - pénétrer au cœur des mythes et du « sacré » - ne se prête guère à la pluridisciplinarité, favorise l`émergence d`informateurs privilégiés et annonce les futurs engagements de Marcel Griaule pour promouvoir et sauvegarder les traditions d`une Afrique authentique dont il serait à la fois le spécialiste et le porte-parole

    Abstract: Mandatées pour réaliser une enquête sur l`Aurès et ses habitants par l`International Society of African Languages and Cultures de Londres et l`Institut d`ethnologie de Paris, alors dirigé par Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Marcel Mauss et Paul Rivet, Thérèse Rivière et Germaine Tillion rejoignent le massif de l`Ahmar Khaddou et le pays chaouïa en janvier 1935. Elles y resteront deux ans. Nombre des matériaux recueillis lors de cette première mission ethnographique dans l`Aurès étaient demeurés inaccessibles jusqu`à leur redécouverte en 2006. Certains sont cependant définitivement perdus ; Th. Rivière et G. Tillion, pour des raisons différentes, la maladie pour l`une et la déportation pour l`autre, n`auront pu mener leurs recherches à terme. L`analyse de ces archives - plusieurs milliers de photographies, carnets de terrain et de dessins, correspondance, rapports de mission - révèle comment, tout en répondant aux exigences de leurs tutelles qui leur demandaient d`investir des domaines aussi différents que l`anthropologie physique, la botanique, la zoologie, l`archéologie ou la sociologie, les deux jeunes femmes affrontent cette première expérience du terrain et de la pratique ethnographique. La rencontre avec les Chaouïa, marquée par un engagement affectif intense, conduit Th. Rivière à l`illusion d`une possible immersion dans leur culture dont ses photographies gardent la trace. Elle porte en revanche G. Tillion, fidèle à l`idéal d`une Algérie française, à une réflexion d`ordre politique.

    Abstract: This project investigates the impact of the Spanish conquest on the indigenous populations of Espanola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) and the subsequent rise of an Indian slave trade and diaspora throughout the circum-Caribbean. Tainos of Espanola were not only the first peoples encountered by the Spanish in the New World, but the patterns arising from these early interactions eventually shaped all subsequent Spanish and indigenous relationships throughout Latin America. I argue that indigenous slavery developed through the process of "pacifying" and populating Espanola, ultimately shaping multiple legal, religious, and economic colonial institutions. The Indian slave trade then effectively created what is recognized as the colonial system by late 16th century. Both in the Caribbean and beyond, the search for indigenous slaves inspired many missions of exploration. Concurrently the rapid decline of indigenous populations, eventually led to large-scale African slavery. Just as many scholars jump over the formative years of the Spanish conquest of the Caribbean, they also assume that Indian slavery was a limited and short-lived practice with African slavery replacing it in a matter of years. However, my research shows that the Spanish conducted indigenous slavery on a much larger scale and for a much longer duration than previously understood. (Abstract)

    Abstract: "In this innovative collection, Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars from Australia and Europe reflect on how their life histories have impacted on their research in Indigenous Australian Studies. Drawing on Pierre Nora's concept of ego-histoire as an analytical tool to ask historians to apply their methods to themselves, contributors lay open their paths, personal commitments and passion involved in their research. Why are we researching in Indigenous Studies, what has driven our motivations? How have our biographical experiences influenced our research? And how has our research influenced us in our political and individual understanding as scholars and human beings? This collection tries to answer many of these complex questions, seeing them not as merely personal issues but highly relevant to the practice of Indigenous Studies"--Publisher's website.

    Abstract: Si, en Nouvelle-Calédonie, exemple type d`une civilisation de l`igname, les Kanak assuraient leur autosubsistance essentiellement par l`horticulture des plantes à tubercules, la pêche n`y jouait pas moins un rôle important. Activité presque exclusivement masculine, elle était surtout le fait de certains groupes de parenté, les clans dits pêcheurs, qui pratiquaient généralement ensemble cette activité coutumière pour nourrir la population et assurer les échanges coutumiers, même si une autre pêche, plus individuelle et d`autosubsistance, pouvait être pratiquée par tout un chacun à la condition qu`elle ne vise pas les poissons coutumiers. Détenteurs des pouvoirs rituels indispensables à la pratique de la pêche, les clans pêcheurs avaient également en charge la fabrique des engins nécessaires à la pratique de leur activité, pirogues comprises. Dans cet ouvrage d`anthropologie maritime, l`auteur nous présente un inventaire des techniques de pêche traditionnelle et leurs évolutions techniques depuis la colonisation. Elle en replace les pratiques dans l`organisation sociale de l`île des Pins et de Goro (au sud de la Grande Terre), de façon à mettre en lumière les rôles et les fonctions des clans pêcheurs au sein des ensembles sociopolitiques dans lesquels ils s`inscrivent, chaque unité de parenté étant détentrice d`un rang et d`une responsabilité sociale, politique et religieuse (maître de la terre, guetteur-messager, gardien de magies, orateur, etc.). La fonction de pêcheur peut être détenue par des groupes de différents statuts politiques (chef, ancien, guerrier...), dont l`autorité vient de la possession des rituels et magies propitiatoires correspondantes.

    Abstract: This book is a unique window into a dynamic time in the politics and history of Australia. The two decades from 1970 to the Bicentennial in 1988 saw the emergence of a new landscape in Australian Indigenous politics. There were struggles, triumphs and defeats around land rights, community control of organisations, national coalitions and the international movement for Indigenous rights. The changes of these years generated new roles for Aboriginal people. Leaders had to grapple with demands to be administrators and managers as well as spokespeople and lobbyists. The challenges were personal as well as organisational, with a central one being how to retain personal integrity in the highly politicised atmosphere of the `Aboriginal Industry`. Kevin Cook was in the middle of many of these changes - as a unionist, educator, land rights campaigner, cultural activist and advocate for liberation movements in Southern Africa, the Pacific and around the world. But `Cookie` has not wanted to tell the story of his own life in these pages. Instead, with Heather Goodall, a long time friend, he has gathered together many of the activists with whom he worked to tell their stories of this important time. Readers are invited into the frank and vivid conversations Cookie had with forty-five black and white activists about what they wanted to achieve, the plans they made, and the risks they took to make change happen.

    Abstract: Edward M. Curr (1820-89) was a pastoralist, horse trader, stock inspector, Aboriginal administrator, author and ethnologist. A prominent figure in the history of the Colony of Victoria, he rose to a senior position in the public service and authored several influential books and essays. He is best remembered for his nostalgic memoir, Recollections of Squatting in Victoria (1883), which has become a standard historical source.This book is the first comprehensive biography of Curr and explores both his life and legacy. In particular, it considers his posthumous influence on the Yorta Yorta native title case (1994-2001), when his written account of the Yorta Yorta ancestors played a key role in the failure of the claim. By exploring Curr`s interactions with Aboriginal people - as a pastoralist and Aboriginal administrator - this book advocates a more nuanced, critical, and historically informed interpretation of Curr`s ethnological writings than was evident in the Yorta Yorta case.

    Abstract: The author describes Rindi culture within an analytic framework that illustrates connexions between, and common principles among, often apparently disparate realms of thought and action. The book contains chapters on the house; the village and the domain (an aggregate of villages); space and cosmos; religion (the notions hamangu and ndewa; divinity and the ancestors; the powers of the earth); the cycle of life and death; social order (class stratification; the division of authority; descent groups) and the system of asymmetric prescriptive alliance by which it is governed; marriage prestations and the various ways of contracting a marriage. The study is based on 22 months of fieldwork. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: The growing interest in the history of Indonesia has made it desirable to have an English summary of the principal works of the Dutch historian Dr H.J. de Graaf, who in several books and articles published between 1935 and 1973 has given a description of the development of the Javanese kingdom of Mataram, based both on European and in digenous material. His works form a substantial contribution to the study of the national history of Indonesia. The Summary contains references to the paragraphs of the Dutch books and articles. This makes it easy for those readers who have a know ledge of Dutch to consult the original texts. The List of Sources for the study of Javanese history from 1500 to 1700 is composed of the lists in the summarized books and articles, and the Index of Names refers not only to the present Summary but also to the eight original texts. Many names of persons and localities in the Index have been provided with short explanatory notes and references to other lemmata as a quick way to give some provisional information on Javanese history.

    Abstract: Fred Cahir tells the story about the magnitude of Aboriginal involvement on the Victorian goldfields in the middle of the nineteenth century.The first history of Aboriginal-white interaction on the Victorian goldfields, Black Gold offers new insights on one of the great epochs in Australian and world history—the gold story.In vivid detail it describes how Aboriginal people often figured significantly in the search for gold and documents the devastating social impact of gold mining on Victorian Aboriginal communities. It reveals the complexity of their involvement from passive presence, to active discovery, to shunning the goldfields.This detailed examination of Aboriginal people on the goldfields of Victoria provides striking evidence which demonstrates that Aboriginal people participated in gold mining and interacted with non-Aboriginal people in a range of hitherto neglected ways.Running through this book are themes of Aboriginal empowerment, identity, integration, resistance, social disruption and communication.

    Abstract: In the second half of the 1980s, with the beginning of the Armenian-Azer­baijani military escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijani residents of Kyzyl-Shafag, a village in northern Armenia, and Armenian residents of Kerkenj, a village in central Azerbaijan, met through their own initiative to negotiate a peaceful exchange of their villages.On the one hand, that decision was a painful result of the ethno-political tension created by nationalists on both sides who sought to exile representatives of the "enemy ethnos" from their countries. On the other hand, however, without any support or interference from any political authorities, the wine growers of Kerkenj and the mountain people of Kyzyl-Shafag demonstrated great responsibility in enabling both parties to overcome the crisis in a peaceful, dignified way, thus setting a powerful example for civic interethnic cooperation in the midst of political conflict.

    Abstract: Manning examines the formation of nineteenth-century intelligentsia print publics in the former Soviet republic of Georgia both anthropologically and historically. At once somehow part of "Europe," at least aspirationally, and yet rarely recognized by others as such, Georgia attempted to forge European style publics as a strong claim to European identity. These attempts also produced a crisis of self-definition, as European Georgia sent newspaper correspondents into newly reconquered Oriental Georgia, only to discover that the people of these lands were strangers. In this encounter, the community of "strangers" of European Georgian publics proved unable to assimilate the people of the "strange land" of Oriental Georgia. This crisis produced both notions of Georgian public life and European identity which this book explores. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: Joannis Cornelis Verschueren (1905-1970) worked as a Roman Catholic missionary in southern Irian from 1931 until 1970. In the 1950s he wrote a number of papers on the Yéi. These papers, based on older field notes and a research trip through the area, are recapitulated in this volume. Verschueren provides genuine inside information and his data are new and authentic. The four papers in this volume create a picture of a typical lowland culture with a surprising emphasis on headhunting, an uncommon way of segregating the sexes, and a highly elaborated system of phallic symbolism. Topics discussed in this volume are territorial, clan and moiety organization; kinship, marriage and conjugal life; the founding myths of Yéi-nan ritual and other rituals; initiation; sickness and healing; death, burial and mortuary feasts; other ceremonies.

    Abstract: In `I Succeeded Once` - The Aboriginal Protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula, 1839-1840, Marie Fels makes the work of William Thomas accessible to anthropologists, archaeologists, historians and the descendants of the Aboriginal people he wrote about. More importantly, people who live, work, study, holiday or just have a general interest in the area from Melbourne to Point Nepean can learn about the original inhabitants who walked the land before it was cleared for agriculture and urban development. Of course, development of the Mornington Peninsula is ongoing and this book will help those involved in development or the management of Aboriginal cultural heritage to identify, document and protect Aboriginal places that may not be identifiable through archaeological investigations alone. Marie Fels supplements Thomas`s writings with other contemporary accounts and her exhaustive historical research sheds new light on critical events and the significant places of the Boon Wurrung people. Of particular importance is the critical review of information about the kidnapping of Boon Wurrung people from the Mornington Peninsula.Winner of the Best Community Research, Register, Records at the Community History Awards by the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and the Public Record Office of Victoria in 2011.
