Race, Labor, and Postcolonial Capitalism in Ecuador Christopher Krupa

Development and the Politics of Abundance in Peru Eric Hirsch

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

Over the last decade, Peru has experienced a spectacular mining boom and astronomical economic growth. Yet, for villagers in Peru's southern Andes, few have felt the material benefits. With this book, Eric Hirsch considers what growth means—and importantly how it feels. Hirsch proposes an analysis of boom-�me capitalism that starts not from considera�ons of poverty, but from the premise that Peru is wealthy.

Combining nearly two decades of ethnographic and historical research, this book focuses on Ecuador's booming cut-flower sector and shows how capitalist expansion bound the Global South to new modes of financial dependency and subjected indigenous workers to elaborate forms of racial "improvement" and upli�.

Pop-Culture Japan and the Politics of Anxiety Daniel White

Transnational Intimacies of Postwar El Salvador Irina Carlota Silber

How do the worlds that state administrators manage become the feelings publics embody? Daniel White addresses this ques�on by documen�ng the rise of a new na�onal figure he calls "Pop-Culture Japan." Emerging in the wake of Japan's drama�c economic decline in the early 1990s, PopCulture Japan reflected the hopes of Japanese state bureaucrats and poli�cal elites seeking to recover their country's standing on the global stage.

Examining the arcs of a Salvadoran "1.5 insurgent genera�on" and their migra�on to the United States, this book provides a compelling longitudinal ethnographic account of postwar reckoning. This book builds upon Irina Carlota Silber's nearly 25 years of ethnographic research centered in Chalatenango, El Salvador, to follow the trajectories—geographic, temporal, storied—of several extended Salvadoran families.

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

Offers an in�mate ethnographic portrait of a woman he met during his fieldwork as a way to explore the complexity of the anthropologist’s personal rela�onships with their subjects and how to speak of and to someone who is gone, s�tching together small moments they shared sca�ered over months and years and, following her death, into the present.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

In recent years anthropologists have focused on informal, unfree, and other nonnorma�ve labor arrangements and labeled them as "non-capitalist." Stephen Campbell pushes back against this idea and shows that these labor arrangements are, in fact, important aspects of capitalist development and that the erroneous "non-capitalist" label contributes to obscuring current capitalist rela�ons. 1

Nathaniel Tarn Foreword by Joseph Donahue

In Pursuit of Climate Adaptation Sarah E. Vaughn

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

In this literary memoir and autoethnography, poet and anthropologist Tarn reflects on a life lived in an array of �mes, cultures, and environments, from the Ba�le of Britain and postwar Paris to conduc�ng fieldwork in Guatemala and the halls of academe and beyond. Prompts us to consider our own mul�ple selves and the mysteries contained within.

Examines climate adapta�on against the backdrop of ongoing processes of se�ler colonialism and the global climate change ini�a�ves that seek to intervene on the lives of the world’s most vulnerable. Analyzing the coproduc�on of race and vulnerability, Vaughn details why climate adapta�on has implica�ons for how we understand the past and the con�nued human se�lement of a place.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS

Introduced in Phnom Penh around 1990, at the twilight of socialism and a�er two decades of conflict and upheaval, ultrasound took root in humanitarian and then priva�zed medicine. Services have since mul�plied, promising diagnos�c informa�on and be�er prenatal and general health care. Jenna Grant draws on years of research to theorize the force and appeal of medical imaging in the urban landscape of Phnom Penh.

Forging Diasporic Ci�zenship explores the dynamics of everyday life for German-born Berliners of Turkish origin. These Ausländer (or "outsiders") are obliged to define themselves by their otherness, but it is their relatedness to German society that transgresses tradi�onal concepts of both German and Turkish iden�ty.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS

INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS

Traces the educa�onal paths of refugee youth arriving in Switzerland amid the shi�ing sociopoli�cal terrain of the refugee crisis and the underlying hierarchies of deservingness. A cap�va�ng ethnography, this book allows readers into the Swiss classrooms where unspoken dis�nc�ons between self and other, guest and host, refugee and resident, were formed, policed, and challenged.

Showcases the complexity and enduring aesthe�c and economic power of Kalabari cra�s. Using dress and tex�les as a lens, this book explores the Kalabari people's centuries-long role in the global trade arena. Their economic interconnectedness demonstrates that Africa was never a "dark con�nent" but, rather, cri�cally involved in a global trade built around Kalabari ingenuity and crea�vity. 2

The Dominican Republic has posted impressive economic growth rates over the past 30 years. Despite this, the genera�on of new, good jobs has been remarkably weak. How have ordinary and poor Dominicans worked and lived in the shadow of the country's conspicuous growth rates?

Abortion Rights and Reproductive Governance in Mexico Elyse Ona Singer

Value and Values in Global Pharmaceutical Markets Stefan Ecks

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

Elyse Ona Singer argues that while pregnant women in Mexico today have op�ons that were unavailable just over a decade ago, they are also subject to the expanded reach of the Mexican state and the Catholic Church over their bodies and reproduc�ve lives. Lawful Sins offers a cri�cal account of the rela�onship among reproduc�ve rights, gendered ci�zenship, and public healthcare. 3

Explores depression and an�depressant uses in India to develop a theory of value that captures both market worth and cultural and ethical norms. Ecks’s theory expands value beyond both a Marxist labor of theory of value and a free-market subjec�ve theory, thereby offering new insights into how the value of lives and things become entangled under neoliberal capitalism.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

Analyzing the religious narra�ves, prac�ces, and construc�ons of religious subjec�vity of diverse groups of Muslims in Old Delhi, Kalyani Menon reveals the ways in which Muslims variously contest the insular and singular understandings of na�on that dominate the sociopoli�cal landscape of the country and make place for themselves.

Shows how a closer examina�on of the Demilitarized Zone area in South Korea reveals that the area’s biodiversity is inseparable from scien�fic prac�ces and geopoli�cal, capitalist, and ecological dynamics. In so doing, Kim reframes peace away from a human-oriented poli�cal or economic peace and toward a more-than-human, biological peace.

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

Theorizes the construc�on of queer social rela�ons at Pakistan’s most important Sufi site by examining the affec�ve and in�mate rela�onship between the site’s pilgrims and its patron saint. Kasmani outlines the felt and enfleshed ways in which saintly affec�ons bind individuals, society, and the state in Pakistan through a public architecture of in�macy.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

In Police, Provoca�on, Poli�cs, Deniz Yonucu presents a counterintui�ve analysis of contemporary policing prac�ces, focusing par�cular a�en�on on the incitement of counterviolence, perpetual conflict, and ethnosectarian discord by the state security apparatus.

Deafness and Cochlear Implant Infrastructures in India Michele Ilana Friedner

Sovereignty, Secularism, and the State in Lebanon Maya Mikdashi

What happens when cochlear implants, heralded as the first successful bionic technologies, make their way around the globe? Sensory Futures follows these implants from development to domes�ca�on and their unequal distribu�on in India, Friedner explores biotechnical interven�on in the realm of disability and its implica�ons for state poli�cs in the Global South.

With this book, Maya Mikdashi offers a new way to understand state power, theorizing how sex, sexuality, and sect shape and are shaped by law, secularism, and sovereignty. Drawing on court archives, public records, and ethnography of the Court of Cassa�on, the highest civil court in Lebanon, Mikdashi shows how poli�cal difference is entangled with religious, secular, and sexual difference.

A strike pa�ern is a signature of violence carved into the land— bomb craters or fragments of explosives le� behind, forgo�en. Leah Zani journeys to a Lao river community where people live alongside such relics of a secret war. With sensi�ve and arres�ng prose, Zani reveals the layered reali�es that se�le atop one another in Laos—from its French colonial history to today's authoritarian state—all blown open by the war.

What should South Korean offices look like in a posthierarchical world? In Supercorporate, anthropologist Michael M. Pren�ce examines a central tension in visions of big corporate life in South Korea's twentyfirst century: should corpora�ons be sites of fair dis�nc�on or equal par�cipa�on?

Ins�tu�ons in Recife, Brazil, have restructured subsidies in favor of encouraging musicians to become more entrepreneurial. Falina Enriquez explores how contemporary and tradi�onal musicians in the fabled musical city have nego�ated these intensified neoliberal cultural policies and economic uncertain�es.

The Poli�cs of the Near offers a novel approach to social unrest in post-apartheid South Africa. Keeping the noise of demonstra�ons, barricades, and clashes with the police at a distance, this ethnography of a poor people’s movement traces individual commitments and the mainsprings of mobiliza�on in the ordinary social and in�mate life of ac�vists, their rela�ves, and other township residents.

Authors Ron Nerio and Jean Halley weave sociology, history, memoir, and queer studies with stories drawn from over one hundred interviews.

In The Secular Paradox, Joseph Blankholm argues that, despite their desire to avoid religion, nonbelievers o�en seem religious because Chris�anity influences the culture around them so deeply. Excludes Taiwan, Japan, SE Asia & ANZ

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

Combining rich ethnographic evidence with Dalit feminist and poli�cal economy frameworks, Why Would I Be Married Here? examines marriage migra�on undertaken by rural bachelors in North India, unable to marry locally, who travel across the breadth of India seeking brides who do not share the same caste, ethnicity, language, or customs as themselves.

Unmaking Migrants engages cri�cal ques�ons about preven�ng trafficking by preven�ng migra�on through a study of a shelter for trafficking vic�ms in Lagos, Nigeria. As Stacey Vanderhurst argues, migra�on can be a freely made choice.
