    Abstract: The Trump Paradox: Migration, Trade, and Racial Politics in US-Mexico Integration explores one of the most complex and unequal cross-border relations in the world, in light of both a twenty-first-century political economy and the rise of Donald Trump. Despite the trillion-plus dollar contribution of Latinos to the US GDP, political leaders have paradoxically stirred racial resentment around immigrants just as immigration from Mexico has reached net zero. With a roster of state-of-the-art scholars from both Mexico and the US, The Trump Paradox explores a dilemma for a divided nation such as the US: in order for its economy to continue flourishing, it needs immigrants and trade.

    Keywords: Frankreich Höhle ; Felsbild ; Felsbildforschung ; Archäologie ; Paläolithikum, Europa ; Chauvet-Höhle
    Abstract: Dès la découverte en 1994, en Ardèche, de la grotte Chauvet-Pont d`Arc, ses représentations pariétales - attribuées à une phase ancienne du Paléolithique récent, aux alentours de 36 000 ans - ont suscité une curiosité et une attention internationales. Conscient des enjeux importants et multiples soulevés par cette découverte, le ministère de la Culture a immédiatement mis en œuvre des moyens exceptionnels de conservation et d`étude de la cavité.La Monographie de la grotte Chauvet-Pont d`Arc est la publication officielle appelée à rendre compte de l`ensemble des recherches pluridisciplinaires et pluri-institutionnelles soutenues par le ministère de la Culture, menées dans la grotte depuis 1997. Son premier tome, Atlas de la grotte Chauvet-Pont d`Arc, a pour objectif d`offrir au lecteur la possibilité de circuler dans la grotte par l`intermédiaire d`une riche iconographie, d`observer par lui-même et de comprendre les paysages souterrains dans lesquels s`inscrivent les œuvres pariétales et les vestiges archéologiques. Les quatre parties de l`Atlas (méthodologie, contexte, cartographie des sols, conservation) sont construites autour des cartes qui rendent compte des différentes acquisitions, analyses et représentations des données permises par ces vingt années de recherche.

    Keywords: Nahrungsmittel Nahrungsmittelversorgung ; Milch ; Konservierung ; Mongolei ; Brasilien ; Europa
    Abstract: Sécher, saler, faire fermenter, enterrer, laisser maturer, surgeler, congeler, décongeler, etc.?: donner du temps aux aliments, c`est non seulement leur permettre de circuler, mais aussi leur conférer des valeurs économiques, sanitaires, voire thérapeutiques, gustatives, affectives, totalement nouvelles.Qu`il s`agisse de conserver les maniocs «vivants» dans les jardins en Amazonie brésilienne, d`organiser le ravitaillement des missions spatiales ou d`approvisionner Paris en poissons frais au xiv. siècle ou encore de conserver le précieux colostrum des mères pour leurs nouveau-nés prématurés, chaque situation résulte de négociations qui dépassent largement la satisfaction des «besoins primaires». En révélant les mécanismes de la conservation, Le temps des aliments questionne les liens complexes entre pouvoirs et techniques. Il s`agit aussi de penser des modèles de conservation possibles, au regard des expérimentations conduites par les sociétés actuelles et passées. L`analyse d`une diversité de situations de conservation alimentaire humaine interroge: jusqu`où l`abondance des sociétés de consommation est-elle également une problématique de conservation ?

    Abstract: On ne compte plus aujourd`hui les appels à repenser l`innovation. Il y aurait urgence écologique. Et certains n`hésitent pas à prédire la fin du monde à moins d`une rupture radicale de nos modèles de croissance. Alors que chaque nouvelle génération de téléphone ou d`ordinateur est célébrée comme si elle constituait un progrès décisif pour l`humanité, le low tech à l`inverse, cet ensemble hétérogène de techniques, de modes de composition alternatifs, définis tantôt négativement (pauvreté ou économie des moyens) tantôt positivement (faire beaucoup avec peu de choses, faire avec ce qu`on a, faire plus local et plus participatif, etc.), viendrait partout ébranler la toute puissance du high tech. Avec lui, ce ne sont pas seulement une autre lecture des techniques et d`autres façons de concevoir qui se donnent à voir, mais des populations entières d`hommes et de procédés, dont le rôle a bien souvent été sous-estimé, de l`Inde à l`Afrique en passant par l`Asie. L`objectif de ce numéro n`est pas de cataloguer les formes de résistance ou d`invention très diverses que recouvre l`étiquette de low tech, mais plutôt de poser les bases d`une cartographie alternative des modes d`assemblage à l`échelle planétaire, et de donner des outils pour mieux penser ces manières de fabriquer qui échappent à toute classification : la Wild Tech !

Peu, voire non visibles, proliférantes, incertaines ou instables, elles émerveillent, elles inquiètent. Elles appellent aussi, parce qu`elles sont trop petites pour être immédiatement ou facilement saisissables à l`échelle du corps humain, à des manières spécifiques de faire avec.

    Abstract: Comment penser la production toujours plus excessive des restes de nos sociétés ? Comment repérer des espaces de créativité et d'innovation dans ce qui apparaît comme une des faces les plus refoulées de notre modernité ? Ce numéro exceptionnel de Techniques & Culture livre un panorama international et varié des recherches sur les restes : de la géographie de la couronne de satellites poubelles autour de notre planète à une ethnographie du 7e continent de plastiques, en passant par une anthropologie des déchets ménagers ou "anatomiques" ou encore par l'exposé de différentes innovations sociales et techniques répondant aux excès des sociétés modernes. Il permet au lecteur de fonder une pensée, ou plus simplement, de s'orienter face aux discours alarmistes ou aux utopies technicistes. Dans cette nouvelle formule de la revue, les écrits des sciences humaines se déclinent sous différentes formes d'écritures, brèves et illustrées dans cette version imprimée, ou plus étendues et réticulées dans la version en ligne. Aux curieux et récupérateurs en tout genre : bonne exploration !

    Abstract: Most labor and migration studies classify migrants with limited formal education or credentials as unskilled. Despite the value of migrants' work experiences and the substantial technical and interpersonal skills developed throughout their lives, the labor-market contributions of these migrants are often overlooked and their mobility pathways poorly understood. Skills of the ?Unskilled? reports the findings of a five-year study that draws on research including interviews with 320 Mexican migrants and return migrants in North Carolina and Guanajuato, Mexico. The authors uncover these migrants? lifelong human capital and identify mobility pathways associated with the acquisition and transfer of skills across the migratory circuit, including reskilling, occupational mobility, job jumping, and entrepreneurship.

    Abstract: "Nourrir le Monde"! "Respecter l`environnement et le bien être animal !" "Se préoccuper des goûts et de la santé du consommateur !" L`élevage est l`objet d`injonctions sociales et politiques parfois paradoxales que la mondialisation accentue chaque jour davantage, et qui visent particulièrement les manières d`élever et de nourrir les bêtes.Au nord comme au sud, dans des territoires souvent marginalisés, les pâturages jouent un rôle crucial. "Pâturer, c`est naturel". Non bien au contraire. Loin de l`image bucolique, l`anthropologue, le géographe, le zootechnicien montrent dans ce Thema de Techniques&Culture en quoi la plus ancienne façon de nourrir les animaux, que les éleveurs réinterprètent sans cesse, est aussi probablement l`une des plus complexes et des plus vives en termes social , économique et politique.De la Laponie à la Patagonie en passant par les montagnes françaises, le pâturage nous permet d`interroger à nouveaux frais la place de l`élevage et des éleveurs dans le monde contemporain.

    Abstract: On le sait peu, mais l`art et le design contemporains font maintenant partie des terrains de recherche des ethnologues. L`anthropologie de l`art existe depuis plus d`un siècle, mais ses objets sont plutôt associés à des modes de production traditionnels et artisanaux. Or, voilà que de jeunes ethnologues enquêtent sur le fonctionnement de l`atelier des artistes, intègrent une équipe de designers pour observer leurs méthodes?; et que, réciproquement, certains artistes et designers puisent dans l`ethnologie leurs idées et s`inspirent des démarches de l`anthropologie.En confrontant les approches des ethnologues et celles des artistes et des designers, cet ouvrage examine la convergence entre les pratiques artistiques et les recherches ethnologiques, se focalisant plus particulièrement sur la question de la technique, tant les artistes et les designers en ont un usage riche et réfléchi, tant elles innervent aussi désormais de multiples secteurs des sciences humaines.Objet de controverse et de méfiance, la technique est encore peu étudiée dans le champ de la création. Un horizon neuf et immense s`ouvre à nous?: du bricolage aux nouvelles technologies, du pinceau à l`imprimante 3D, les techniques employées par les artistes et les designers sont innombrables. Ces Essais de bricologie constituent le premier manifeste transdisciplinaire de ce mouvement.

    Abstract: In 2014, the arrest and detention of thousands of desperate young migrants at the southwest border of the United States exposed the U.S. government's shadowy juvenile detention system, which had escaped public scrutiny for years. This book tells the story of six Central American and Mexican children who are driven from their homes by violence and deprivation, and who embark alone, risking their lives, on the perilous journey north. They suffer coercive arrests at the U.S. border, then land in detention, only to be caught up in the battle to obtain legal status. Whose Child Am I? looks inside a vast, labyrinthine system by documenting in detail the experiences of these youths, beginning with their arrest by immigration authorities, their subsequent placement in federal detention, followed by their appearance in deportation proceedings and release from custody, and, finally, ending with their struggle to build new lives in the United States. This book shows how the U.S. government got into the business of detaining children and what we can learn from this troubled history.

    Abstract: How do Muslims relate to Islam in societies that experienced seventy years of Soviet rule? How did the utopian Bolshevik project of remaking the world by extirpating religion from it affect Central Asia? Adeeb Khalid combines insights from the study of both Islam and Soviet history to answer these questions. Arguing that the sustained Soviet assault on Islam destroyed patterns of Islamic learning and thoroughly de-Islamized public life, Khalid demonstrates that Islam became synonymous with tradition and was subordinated to powerful ethnonational identities that crystallized during the Soviet period. He shows how this legacy endures today and how, for the vast majority of the population, a return to Islam means the recovery of traditions destroyed under Communism.Islam after Communism reasons that the fear of a rampant radical Islam that dominates both Western thought and many of Central Asia`s governments should be tempered with an understanding of the politics of antiterrorism, which allows governments to justify their own authoritarian policies by casting all opposition as extremist. Placing the Central Asian experience in the broad comparative perspective of the history of modern Islam, Khalid argues against essentialist views of Islam and Muslims and provides a nuanced and well-informed discussion of the forces at work in this crucial region.

    Keywords: Nepal Massenmedien ; Radio ; Individuum und Gesellschaft ; Öffentlichkeit ; Persönlichkeit ; Privatheit ; Familie ; Diaspora ; Recht, modernes ; Sozialer Wandel ; Politischer Wandel ; Indien ; Zivilgesellschaft ; Kathmandu 〈Stadt, Nepal〉
    Abstract: Nepal's recent history is extraordinary: within a short span of time, the country endured a relatively peaceful 1990 revolution that reestablished democracy, a Maoist civil war, and the massacre of its royal family. As these dramatic changes were taking place, Nepalese society experienced an upsurge in both political and intimate discourse, and the two became intertwined as they developed. Voicing Subjects is an ethnography that explores that phenomenon, tracing the relationship between public speech and notions of personal interiority in Kathmandu by examining the two formations of voice that emerged: a political voice, associated with civic empowerment and collective agency, and an intimate voice, associated with emotional proximity and authentic feeling. Using personal interviews and examples in the media--in particular, radio--Kunreuther's careful study reveals the figure of voice as a critical tool for gaining an in-depth understanding of emerging subjectivity, structural change, and cultural mediation.

    Abstract: Qu'est-ce que peut un corps ? demande Spinoza, et il répond : Personne n'en sait rien ! C`est-à-dire qu`on n`a pas fini de s`en étonner. Chaque jour nous voyons des corps accomplir des actions d`une infinie complexité, qu`il s`agisse d`adresse sportive ou de gestes créateurs.Pour que cela soit possible le corps ne peut pas être le simple instrument de l`esprit, l`un et l`autre sont une seule et même harmonique : quand l`anthropologue Marcel Mauss s`empare de cette conception moderne de l`être vivant, il la nomme « techniques du corps » et franchit un pas décisif. Non seulement marcher ou faire l`amour sont des actions efficaces, mais il y a autant de façons de s`y prendre qu`il y a de cultures - et pas seulement humaines. Dans ces multiples manières d`être au monde l`équipement n`est pas en reste car l`outil, défini comme prolongement de la main par le préhistorien André Leroi-Gourhan, est capable de transformer notre corps même en outil second. N`avons-nous pas la sensation de « faire corps » avec notre voiture lorsque nous conduisons ? Ne devenons-nous pas sur la chaîne de montage l`instrument efficace des robots mécaniques ?Les essais de ce livre explorent ces conquêtes et limites du corps sur lui-même et sur la matière en s`attachant aux dimensions cachées que sont la sensorialité, le rituel, l`apprentissage, les émotions, l`entretien, et les méthodes pour parvenir à comprendre l`intelligence physique.

    Abstract: When I Wear My Alligator Boots examines how the lives of dispossessed men and women are affected by the rise of narcotrafficking along the U.S.-Mexico border. In particular, the book explores a crucial tension at the heart of the "war on drugs": despite the violence and suffering brought on by drug cartels, for the rural poor in Mexico's north, narcotrafficking offers one of the few paths to upward mobility and is a powerful source of cultural meanings and local prestige. In the borderlands, traces of the drug trade are everywhere: from gang violence in cities to drug addiction

    Abstract: Donna M. Goldstein presents a hard-hitting critique of urban poverty and violence and challenges much of what we think we know about the "culture of poverty" in this compelling read. Drawing on more than a decade of experience in Brazil, Goldstein provides an intimate portrait of everyday life among the women of the favelas, or urban shantytowns in Rio de Janeiro, who cope with unbearable suffering, violence and social abandonment. The book offers a clear-eyed view of socially conditioned misery while focusing on the creative responses—absurdist and black humor—that people generate amid daily conditions of humiliation, anger, and despair. Goldstein helps us to understand that such joking and laughter is part of an emotional aesthetic that defines the sense of frustration and anomie endemic to the political and economic desperation among residents of the shantytown

    Abstract: Cuisine and Empire shows how merchants, missionaries, and the military took cuisines over mountains, oceans, deserts, and across political frontiers. Laudan's innovative narrative treats cuisine, like language, clothing, or architecture, as something constructed by humans.Rachel Laudan tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of the world's great cuisines - from the mastery of grain cooking some twenty thousand years ago, to the present - in this superbly-researched book. Probing beneath the apparent confusion of dozens of cuisines to reveal the underlying simplicity of the culinary family tree, she shows how periodic seismic shifts in "culinary philosophy" - beliefs about health, the economy, politics, society and the gods - prompted the construction of new cuisines, a handful of which, chosen as the cuisines of empires, came to dominate the globe. "Cuisine and Empire" shows how merchants, missionaries, and the military took cuisines over mountains, oceans, deserts, and across political frontiers. Laudan's innovative narrative treats cuisine, like language, clothing, or architecture, as something constructed by humans. By emphasizing how cooking turns farm products into food and by taking the globe rather than the nation as the stage, she challenges the agrarian, romantic, and nationalistic myths that underlie the contemporary food movement.

    Abstract: Le sable, matière naturelle environnante? et parfois envahissante, n`a jamais vraiment été questionné par les sciences sociales dans ses dimensions socio-techniques, culturelles et symboliques, et en particulier dans les sociétés du désert, d`hier et d`aujourd`hui, peut-être du fait précisément de l`évidence de sa présence. Pourtant, les propriétés physico-chimiques de cette matière impliquent forcément un rapport singulier entre les individus et leur environnement, qu`il soit ou non médiatisé par des artefacts.Solide, pulvérulent ou encore liquide, cette matière à la plasticité remarquable invite depuis toujours les sociétés à inventer toute une palette de rituels domestiques, de pratiques thérapeutiques, de critères de confort, de procès de fabrication d`objets, mais aussi de techniques d`orientation que ce numéro de Techniques & Culture propose d`explorer, en croisant les points de vue de chercheurs appartenant à différentes disciplines, allant de l`anthropologie et l`archéologie à la physique des solides et à la zoologie, en passant par la géographie et la linguistique...

    Abstract: Both Hollywood and corporate America are taking note of the marketing power of the growing Latino population in the United States. And as salsa takes over both the dance floor and the condiment shelf, the influence of Latin culture is gaining momentum in American society as a whole. Yet the increasing visibility of Latinos in mainstream culture has not been accompanied by a similar level of economic parity or political enfranchisement. In this important, original, and entertaining book, Arlene Dávila provides a critical examination of the Hispanic marketing industry and of its role in the making and marketing of U.S. Latinos. Dávila finds that Latinos' increased popularity in the marketplace is simultaneously accompanied by their growing exotification and invisibility. She scrutinizes the complex interests that are involved in the public representation of Latinos as a generic and culturally distinct people and questions the homogeneity of the different Latino subnationalities that supposedly comprise the same people and group of consumers. In a fascinating discussion of how populations have become reconfigured as market segments, she shows that the market and marketing discourse become important terrains where Latinos debate their social identities and public standing.

    Abstract: "The Saint in the Banyan Tree" is a nuanced and historically persuasive exploration of Christianity's remarkable trajectory as a social and cultural force in southern India. Starting in the seventeenth century, when the religion was integrated into Tamil institutions of caste and popular religiosity, this study moves into the twentieth century, when Christianity became an unexpected source of radical transformation for the country's 'untouchables' (dalits). Mosse shows how caste was central to the way in which categories of 'religion' and 'culture' were formed and negotiated in missionary encounters, and how the social and semiotic possibilities of Christianity lead to a new politic of equal rights in South India. Skillfully combining archival research with anthropological fieldwork, this book examines the full cultural impact of Christianity on Indian religious, social and political life. Connecting historical ethnography to the preoccupations of priests and Jesuit social activists, Mosse throws new light on the contemporary nature of caste, conversion, religious synthesis, secularization, dalit politics, the inherent tensions of religious pluralism, and the struggle for recognition among subordinated people.

    Keywords: Nordamerika Christentum ; Protestant ; Liberalismus ; Heilbehandlung ; Sozialarbeit ; Mission, christliche ; Geschichte
    Abstract: "Spirits of Protestantism" reveals how liberal Protestants went from being early-twentieth-century medical missionaries seeking to convert others through science and scripture, to becoming vocal critics of missionary arrogance who experimented with non-western healing modes such as Yoga and Reiki. Drawing on archival and ethnographic sources, Pamela E. Klassen shows how and why the very notion of healing within North America has been infused with a Protestant "supernatural liberalism." In the course of coming to their changing vision of healing, liberal Protestants became pioneers three times over: in the struggle against the cultural and medical pathologizing of homosexuality; in the critique of Christian missionary triumphalism; and, in the diffusion of an ever-more ubiquitous anthropology of "body, mind, and spirit." At a time when the political and anthropological significance of Christianity is being hotly debated, "Spirits of Protestantism" forcefully argues for a reconsideration of the historical legacies and cultural effects of liberal Protestantism, even for the anthropology of religion itself.

    Abstract: Over the last three decades, migration from Mexico to the United States has moved beyond the borderlands to diverse communities across the country, with the most striking transformations in American suburbs and small towns. This study explores the challenges encountered by Mexican families as they endeavor to find their place in the U.S. by focusing on Kennett Square, a small farming village in Pennsylvania known as the "Mushroom Capital of the World." In a highly readable account based on extensive fieldwork among Mexican migrants and their American neighbors, Debra Lattanzi Shutika explores the issues of belonging and displacement that are central concerns for residents in communities that have become new destinations for Mexican settlement. Beyond the Borderlands also completes the circle of migration by following migrant families as they return to their hometown in Mexico, providing an illuminating perspective of the tenuous lives of Mexicans residing in, but not fully part of, two worlds.

    Abstract: Since 2000, approximately 440,000 Mexicans have migrated to the United States every year. Tens of thousands have left children behind in Mexico to do so. For these parents, migration is a sacrifice. What do parents expect to accomplish by dividing their families across borders? How do families manage when they are living apart? More importantly, do parents' relocations yield the intended results? Probing the experiences of migrant parents, children in Mexico, and their caregivers, Joanna Dreby offers an up-close and personal account of the lives of families divided by borders. What she finds is that the difficulties endured by transnational families make it nearly impossible for parents' sacrifices to result in the benefits they expect. Yet, paradoxically, these hardships reinforce family members' commitments to each other. A story both of adversity and the intensity of family ties, Divided by Borders is an engaging and insightful investigation of the ways Mexican families struggle and ultimately persevere in a global economy.

    Abstract: Explicitly focusing on the malaise of underdevelopment that has shaped the country since the Spanish conquest, Ramón Eduardo Ruiz offers a panoramic interpretation of Mexican history and culture from the pre-Hispanic and colonial eras through the twentieth century. Drawing on economics, psychology, literature, film, and history, he reveals how development processes have fostered glaring inequalities, uncovers the fundamental role of race and class in perpetuating poverty, and sheds new light on the contemporary Mexican reality. Throughout, Ruiz traces a legacy of dependency on outsiders, and considers the weighty role the United States has played, starting with an unjust war that cost Mexico half its territory. Based on Ruiz's decades of research and travel in Mexico, this penetrating work helps us better understand where the country has come, why it is where it is today, and where it might go in the future.

    Abstract: These seminal essays place ethnography at the intersection of interpretive anthropology, cultural studies, social history, travel writing, discoure theory, and textual crititics. They grapple with issues of power and poetics in contemporary situations of globalization, post-coloniality, and post-modernity. Since its publication in 1986, Writing Culture has been a source of generative controversy and innovation in anthropology. In continues to inspire scholars and activists across the humanities, social sciences, and arts who are concerned with experimentation and ethics in cultural analysis.This anniversary edition is augmented with a new foreword by Kim Fortun, Associate Professor of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, exploring the legacies of Writing Culture in the twenty-first century.

    Abstract: The year 1910 marks an astonishing, and largely unrecognized, juncture in Western history. In this perceptive interdisciplinary analysis, Thomas Harrison addresses the extraordinary intellectual achievement of the time. Focusing on the cultural climate of Middle Europe and paying particular attention to the life and work of Carlo Michelstaedter, he deftly portrays the reciprocal implications of different discourses—philosophy, literature, sociology, music, and painting. His beautifully balanced and deeply informed study provides a new, wider, and more ambitious definition of expressionism and shows the significance of this movement in shaping the artistic and intellectual mood of the age.1910 probes the recurrent themes and obsessions in the work of intellectuals as diverse as Egon Schiele, Georg Trakl, Vasily Kandinsky, Georg Lukàcs, Georg Simmel, Dino Campana, and Arnold Schoenberg. Together with Michelstaedter, who committed suicide in 1910 at the age of 23, these thinkers shared the essential concerns of expressionism: a sense of irresolvable conflict in human existence, the philosophical status of death, and a quest for the nature of human subjectivity. Expressionism, Harrison argues provocatively, was a last, desperate attempt by the intelligentsia to defend some of the most venerable assumptions of European culture. This ideological desperation, he claims, was more than a spiritual prelude to World War I: it was an unheeded, prophetic critique.

    Abstract: This deeply insightful ethnography explores the healing power of caring and intimacy in a small, closely bonded Apostolic congregation during Botswana's HIV/AIDS pandemic. Death in a Church of Life paints a vivid picture of how members of the Baitshepi Church make strenuous efforts to sustain loving relationships amid widespread illness and death. Over the course of long-term fieldwork, Frederick Klaits discovered Baitshepi's distinctly maternal ethos and the "spiritual" kinship embodied in the church's nurturing fellowship practice. Klaits shows that for Baitshepi members, Christian faith is a form of moral passion that counters practices of divination and witchcraft with redemptive hymn singing, prayer, a dnthe use of therapeutic sustances. An online audio annex makes available examples of the church member's preching and song.

    Abstract: This history of Japanese mass culture during the decades preceding Pearl Harbor argues that the new gestures, relationship, and humor of ero-guro-nansensu (erotic grotesque nonsense) expressed a self-consciously modern ethos that challenged state ideology and expansionism. Miriam Silverberg uses sources such as movie magazines, ethnographies of the homeless, and the most famous photographs from this era to capture the spirit, textures, and language of a time when the media reached all classes, connecting the rural social order to urban mores. Employing the concept of montage as a metaphor that informed the organization of Japanese mass culture during the 1920s and 1930s, Silverberg challenges the erasure of Japanese colonialism and its legacies. She evokes vivid images from daily life during the 1920s and 1930s, including details about food, housing, fashion, modes of popular entertainment, and attitudes toward sexuality. Her innovative study demonstrates how new public spaces, new relationships within the family, and an ironic sensibility expressed the attitude of Japanese consumers who identified with the modern as providing a cosmopolitan break from tradition at the same time that they mobilized for war

    Abstract: Evangelical Protestantism has arguably become the fastest-growing religion in South America, if not the world. For converts, it emphasizes self-discipline and provides a network of communal support, which together have helped many overcome substance abuse, avoid crime and violence, and resolve relationship problems. But can people simply decide to believe in a religion because of the benefits it reportedly delivers? Based on extensive fieldwork among Pentecostal men in Caracas, Venezuela, this rich urban ethnography seeks an explanation for the explosion of Evangelical Protestantism

    Abstract: Drawing on more than fifteen years of research, Mexican New York offers an intimate view of globalization as it is lived by Mexican immigrants and their children in New York and in Mexico. Robert Courtney Smith's groundbreaking study sheds new light on transnationalism, vividly illustrating how immigrants move back and forth between New York and their home village in Puebla with considerable ease, borrowing from and contributing to both communities as they forge new gender roles; new strategies of social mobility, race, and even adolescence; and new brands of politics and egalitarianism.Smith's deeply informed narrative describes how first-generation men who have lived in New York for decades become important political leaders in their home villages in Mexico. Smith explains how relations between immigrant men and women and their U.S.-born children are renegotiated in the context of migration to New York and temporary return visits to Mexico. He illustrates how U.S.-born youth keep their attachments to Mexico, and how changes in migration and assimilation have combined to transnationalize both U.S.-born adolescents and Mexican gangs between New York and Puebla. Mexican New York profoundly deepens our knowledge of immigration as a social process, convincingly showing how some immigrants live and function in two worlds at the same time and how transnationalization and assimilation are not opposing, but related, phenomena.

    Abstract: Valentina Napolitano explores issues of migration, medicine, religion, and gender in this incisive analysis of everyday practices of urban living in Guadalajara, Mexico. Drawing on fieldwork over a ten-year period, Napolitano paints a rich and vibrant picture of daily life in a low-income neighborhood of Guadalajara. Migration, Mujercitas, and Medicine Men insightfully portrays the personal experiences of the neighborhood's residents while engaging with important questions about the nature of selfhood, subjectivity, and community identity as well as the tensions of modernity and its discontents in Mexican society.

    Abstract: In a captivating and moving style, the authors describe how the island became one of the richest nations in the world and how its citizens acquired all the ills of modern life: obesity, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension. At the same time, Nauru became 80 percent mined-out ruins that contain severely impoverished biological communities of little value in supporting human habitation. This sad tale highlights the dire consequences of a free-market economy, a system in direct conflict with sustaining the environment. In presenting evidence for the current mass extinction, the authors argue that we cannot expect to preserve biodiversity or support sustainable habitation, because our economic operating principles are incompatible with these activities.

    Abstract: This text provides an examination of cultural debates in Central Asia during Russian rule. With the Russian conquest in the 1860s and 1870s the region came into contact with modernity. The Jadids, influential Muslim intellectuals, sought to safeguard the indigenous Islamic culture by adapting it to the modern state. Through education, literacy, use of the press and by maintaining close ties with Islamic intellectuals from the Ottoman empire to India, the Jadids established a place for their traditions not only within the changing culture of their own land but also within the larger modern Islamic world. The book uses literary sources from Uzbek and Tajik as well as archival materials from Uzbekistan, Russia, Britain and France, to explore Russia's role as a colonial power and the politics of Islamic reform movements. It shows how Jadid efforts paralleled developments elsewhere in the world and at the same time provides a social history of the Jadid movement.

    Abstract: Arusha National Park in northern Tanzania embodies all the political-ecological dilemmas facing protected areas throughout Africa. This book presents an analysis of the problems, arguing that the roots of the ongoing struggle between the park and the neighbouring Meru peasant communities go much deeper than the issues of poverty, population growth and ignorance usually cited. The author claims the conflict reflects differences that go back to the beginning of colonial rule. By imposing a European ideal of pristine wilderness, the establishment of national parks and protected areas displaced African meanings as well as material access to the land. The book focuses on the symbolic importance of natural landscapes among various social groups in this setting and how it relates to conflicts between peasant communities and the state.

    Abstract: This groundbreaking volume provides a dramatic investigation of the dynamics of reproduction. In an unusually broad spectrum of essays, a distinguished group of international feminist scholars and activists explores the complexity of contemporary sexual politics around the globe. Using reproduction as an entry point in the study of social life and placing it at the center of social theory, the authors examine how cultures are produced, contested, and transformed as people imagine their collective future in the creation of the next generation.The studies encompass a wide variety of subjects, from the impact of AIDS on reproduction in the United States to the aftereffects of Chernobyl on the Sami people in Norway and the impact of totalitarian abortion and birth control policies in Romania and China. The contributors use historical and comparative perspectives to illuminate the multiple and intersecting forms of power and resistance through which reproduction is given cultural weight and social form. They discuss the ways that seemingly distant influences shape and constrain local reproductive experiences such as the international flows of adoptive babies and childcare workers and the Victorian and imperial legacy of eugenics and family planning.

    Abstract: Peasant and Nation offers a major new statement on the making of national politics. Comparing the popular political cultures and discourses of postcolonial Mexico and Peru, Florencia Mallon provides a groundbreaking analysis of their effect on the evolution of these nation states. As political history from a variety of subaltern perspectives, the book takes seriously the history of peasant thought and action and the complexity of community politics. It reveals the hierarchy and the heroism, the solidarity and the surveillance, the exploitation and the reciprocity, that coexist in popular political struggle.With this book Mallon not only forges a new path for Latin American history but challenges the very concept of nationalism. Placing it squarely within the struggles for power between colonized and colonizing peoples, she argues that nationalism must be seen not as an integrated ideology that puts the interest of the nation above all other loyalties, but as a project for collective identity over which many political groups and coalitions have struggled. Ambitious and bold, Peasant and Nation both draws on monumental archival research in two countries and enters into spirited dialogue with the literatures of post-colonial studies, gender studies, and peasant studies.

    Abstract: The momentous influx of Mexican undocumented workers into the United States over the last decades has spurred new ways of thinking about immigration. Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo's incisive book enlarges our understanding of these recently arrived Americans and uncovers the myriad ways that women and men recreate families and community institutions in a new land.Hondagneu-Sotelo argues that people do not migrate as a result of concerted household strategies, but as a consequence of negotiations often fraught with conflict in families and social networks. Migration and settlement transform long-held ideals and lifestyles. Traditional patterns are reevaluated, and new relationships?often more egalitarian?emerge. Women gain greater personal autonomy and independence as they participate in public life and gain access to both social and economic influence previously beyond their reach.Bringing to life the experiences of undocumented immigrants and delineating the key role of women in newly established communities, Gendered Transitions challenges conventional assumptions about gender and migration. It will be essential reading for demographers, historians, sociologists, and policymakers."I've opened my eyes. Back there, they say 'no.' You marry, and no, you must stay home. Here, it's different. You marry, and you continue working. Back in Mexico, it's very different. There is very much machismo in those men."?A Mexican woman living in the United States

    Abstract: This remarkable collection of eight essays offers a rare perspective on the issue of cross-cultural communication. Greg Sarris is concerned with American Indian texts, both oral and written, as well as with other American Indian cultural phenomena such as basketry and religion. His essays cover a range of topics that include orality, art, literary criticism, and pedagogy, and demonstrate that people can see more than just 'what things seem to be'. Throughout, he asks: How can we read across cultures so as to encourage communication rather than to close it down? Sarris maintains that cultural practices can be understood only in their living, changing contexts. Central to his approach is an understanding of storytelling, a practice that embodies all the indeterminateness, structural looseness, multivalence, and richness of culture itself. He describes encounters between his Indian aunts and Euro-American students and the challenge of reading in a reservation classroom; he brings the reports of earlier ethnographers out of museums into the light of contemporary literary and anthropological theory. Sarris' perspective is exceptional: son of a Coast Miwok/Pomo father and a Jewish mother, he was raised by Mabel McKay - a renowned Cache Creek Pomo basketweaver and medicine woman - and by others, Indian and non-Indian, in Santa Rosa, California. Educated at Stanford, he is now a university professor and recently became Chairman of the Federated Coast Miwok tribe. His own story is woven into these essays and provides valuable insights for anyone interested in cross-cultural communication, including educators, theorists of language and culture, and general readers.

    Abstract: Can we address the issue of nationalism without polemics and restore it to the domain of social science? Claudio Lomnitz-Adler takes a major step in that direction by applying anthropological tools to the study of national culture. His sweeping and innovative interpretation of Mexican national ideology constructs an entirely new theoretical framework for the study of national and regional cultures everywhere. With an analysis of culture and ideology in internally differentiated regional spaces?in this case Morelos and the Huasteca in Mexico?Exits from the Labyrinth links rich ethnographic and historical research to two specific aspects of Mexican national ideology and culture: the history of legitimacy and charisma in Mexican politics, and the relationship between the national community and racial ideology.

    Abstract: L'identification usuelle entre occidentalisation et modernisation, l'obligation de passer par les solutions occidentales pour tout décollage économique et technologique semlent enfermer les pays du tier monde dans un fatalité qui anéantit toutes les idéologies de libération.Les quelques études réunies ici ont évité l'approche globale et abstaite de ce phénomène. Elles proposent des cas concrets analysés de manière sytématique. Les exemples choisis illustrent les emprunts à l'Occident depuis le XIXe siècle jusqu'à la période actuelle. Ils concernent la modernisation de l'armée, le développement des communications motorisées dans les provinces, l'exploitation industrielle des richesses agricoles, la sédentarisation des nomades, l'alimentation urbaine, l'industire traditionelle de la soie, le tissage des tapis, la fabrication des livres, la musique traditionelle et le cinéma.Pour chaqun de ces domaines, les auteurs on utilié une documentation de première main. Leurs conclusions ne sont pas univoques. Le contact avec l'Occident d'une société aussi riche culturelle et économiquement que la société iranienne a permis l'invention de formes nouvelles. Les efforts de la République islamique pour permettre en cause la pénétration de l'Occident apparaisent plus d'une fois au détour de ces pages dont la préoccupation est celle d'une sociologie phénoménologique.

    Abstract: During the late imperial era (1500-1911), China, though divided by ethnic, linguistic, and regional differences at least as great as those prevailing in Europe, enjoyed a remarkable solidarity. What held Chinese society together for so many centuries? Some scholars have pointed to the institutional control over the written word as instrumental in promoting cultural homogenization; others, the manipulation of the performing arts. This volume, comprised of essays by both anthropologists and historians, furthers this important discussion by examining the role of death rituals in the unification of Chinese culture.
