Jewish Memories across the Modern Mediterranean Dario Miccoli
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
Tells the history of West Africa’s centuries-old indigenous gold mining industries and its shared prac�ces, prohibi�ons, and cosmological engagements. Introduces transna�onal geological forma�ons as a new regional framework for African studies, environmental history, and anthropology.
Tells the story of Jews from the southern shore of the Mediterranean who, between the late 1940s and the mid-1960s, migrated from their country of birth for Europe, Israel, and beyond. This book explores how prac�ces of memory- and heritage-making has filled an iden�ty vacuum in three countries and helps the Jews from North Africa and Egypt to define their Jewishness in Europe and Israel today.

Kinship Against Violence in India Julia Kowalski
Aftermaths of War along the Huallaga River Richard Kernaghan
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS
STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Crossing the Current explores a�ermaths of internal war through the ethnographic scru�ny of rural transit and territorial transforma�ons in Peru's Upper Huallaga Valley. This book asks what happens to such a place once prolonged conflict has ostensibly passed. How have ordinary experiences of land, territory, and law, and of the river that runs through them all, been altered in the a�ermaths of war?
Women’s rights ac�vists around the world have commonly understood gendered violence as the product of so-called tradi�onal family structures, from which women must be liberated. Counseling Women contends that this perspec�ve overlooks the social and cultural contexts in which women understand and navigate their rela�onships with kin.

Intimate Politics among Palestinian Women in Israel Kim Jezabel Zinngrebe
Transformations of a Chinese Emigrant Community Anne-Christine Trémon
INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Pales�nian women in Israel are expected to operate even the most in�mate aspects of their lives according to what some call "The Plan," which dictates everything from clothing, marriage, religion, and sex to how children are born and raised. The stories in this book trace and unpack se�ler colonial power at the level of the in�mate and na�ve women's various prac�ces of defiance.
Explores the transforma�ons of Pine Mansion—a Shenzhen former emigrant community—and its members' changing rela�onship with their diaspora around the world. As overseas financial contribu�ons diminish and diasporic rela�ons change, Trémon highlights the way emigra�on is being reconceptualized in rela�on to China's changing posi�on in the world.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
Based on ten years of work with immigrant children as young as six years old in Arizona and California— and featuring an analysis of three hundred drawings, theater performances, and family interviews—this book illustrates how the children of immigrants use art to grapple with issues of ci�zenship, state violence, and belonging.

This book is a contribu�on to the larger debates about the ethics and futures of healthcare around the world.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Provides an accessible lens through which to understand what non-combatant civilians go through in a country at war. In Ukraine, landscapes filled with death and destruc�on prompted a�en�veness to human vulnerabili�es and the cul�va�on of everyday, interpersonal peace. Everyday War considers a different site where peace can be cul�vated at an everyday level.
INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
In Lebanon, the study of modern art—rather than power or hierarchy—has compelled ci�zens to confront how they define themselves as a postcolonial na�on. Kirsten L. Scheid offers a striking study of both modern art in Lebanon and modern Lebanon through art.

Caring for Older Family Members in Japan and England Jason Danely
Shaping Anthropology and Fostering Social Justice Rosemary Lévy Zumwalt
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Described the paths carers take as they make meaning of their experiences and find a sense of moral purpose to sustain them and guide their decisions. Based on his research gathering stories of family carers in Japan and England, Danely traces how care transforms individual sensibili�es and the role of cultural narra�ves and imagina�on in shaping these transforma�ons, which persist even a�er the care recipient has died.
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
Franz Boas defined the concept of cultural rela�vism and reoriented the humani�es and social sciences away from race science toward an an�racist and an�colonialist understanding of human biology and culture.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
In Infer�lity in a Crowded Country, Holly Donahue Singh draws on interviews, observa�on, and autoethnographic perspec�ves in local communi�es and Lucknow's infer�lity clinics to examine access to technology and treatments and to explore how pop culture shapes the reproduc�ve paths of women and their supporters through clinical spaces, health camps, religious sites, and adop�on agencies.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
This book reveals how individuals and collec�vi�es engaged in global health—visi�ng experts as well as local clinicians and pa�ents—come to regard themselves and others in terms of this framework. Brada shows that global health is a fron�er, an imagina�ve framework that organizes the space, �me, and ethics of encounter. 5

Iraqi Refugees and the Welfare State Sally Wesley Bonet
EMS Workers in Urban America Christopher Prener
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
Traces the costs of America’s long-term military involvement around the world by following the forced displacement of Iraqi families, unveiling how Iraqis are doubly displaced: first by the machinery of American imperialism in their na�ve countries and then through a more pernicious war occurring on U.S. soil—the dismantling of the welfare state.
While we imagine ambulances as a site for cri�cal care, the reality is far more complicated. Social problems are encountered every day by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) workers. Wri�en from the lens of a sociologist who speaks with the fluency of a former Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Medicine at the Margins delves deep into the world of EMTs and paramedics in American ci�es.

Tracing the experiences of mobile Himalayan across the globe, Places in Knots describes the ways in which Himalayan communi�es relate to the mul�ple places they inhabit and the work and trouble of keeping them �ed together. This book describes global Himalayan ventures as a form of expansion of community rather than out-migra�on. Moving out does not sever the bonds of community. Rather, moving out is the pull that �es the knot.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Drawing on decades of on-the-ground research, Antonius Robben and Alex Hinton explore how researchers go about not just interviewing and wri�ng about perpetrators, but also processing their own emo�ons and considering how the personal and interpersonal impact of this sort of research informs the texts that emerge from them.

Traces the more-than-human rela�onships between people, plants, and animals in contemporary Berlin, showing how Berlin’s “urban nature” becomes a key site in which no�ons of ci�zenship and belonging as well as racialized, gendered, and classed inequali�es become apparent. Helps us rethink the space of nature and culture and the categories through which we make sense of urban life in inhospitable �mes.

Life and Law in Delhi's Courts Mayur R. Suresh
Infrastructure and Ingenuity in Postsocialist Tanzania Michael Degani
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
Explores how electricity and its piracy has become a key site for urban Tanzanians to enact, experience, and debate their social contract with the state. Moving from the poli�cs of genera�on contracts down to the street level experience of blackouts and disconnec�on patrols, he reveals the logics of infrastructural modifica�on and their effects on everyday life.
In an ethnography of terrorism trials in Delhi, the author shows how those charged with terror engage with legal technicali�es. The book shows how the ordinary procedures that lie at the heart of the trial are the mode through which human expressiveness and vulnerability emerge in the face of the law.

What are the possibili�es for mul�species jus�ce? How do social jus�ce struggles intersect with the lives of animals, plants, and other creatures? Leading thinkers in anthropology, geography, philosophy, specula�ve fic�on, poetry, and contemporary art answer these ques�ons from diverse grounded loca�ons.
The future of Honduras begins and ends on the white sand beaches of Tela Bay where Garifuna, a Black Indigenous people, have resided for over two hundred years. Loperena examines the Garifuna struggle for life and demonstrates how this struggle challenges concerted efforts by the state and mul�lateral ins�tu�ons to render both their lands and their culture into fungible tourism products.

Thirty Years of Ethnography in Cuenca, Ecuador Ann Miles
Rescue in the Rwandan Genocide Jennie E. Burnet CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
Considers people who risked their lives in the 1994 Rwanda genocide of Tutsi to try and save those targeted for killing. By shi�ing focus away from these classic typologies of genocide studies and focusing instead on hundreds of thousands of discrete acts that unfold over �me, Burnet highlights the ways that complex decisions and behaviors emerge in the social, poli�cal, and economic processes that cons�tute a genocide.
Unraveling Time traces the enduring consequences of poli�cal and social movements, transna�onal migra�on, and economic development in Cuenca. The author’s approach not only reveals what change has meant in a major La�n American city but also serves as a reflec�on on ethnography itself. A compelling chronicle of economic, poli�cal, and social development in Cuenca.

Saskia Wi�eborn situates her study against the backdrop of displacement as a communica�ve and spa�al phenomenon and focuses on how naming prac�ces and witness accounts can operate as tools of ac�vism, resistance, and communica�on.
