David Boarder Giles traces the work of Food Not Bombs—a global movement of grassroots soup kitchens that recover wasted grocery surpluses and redistribute them to those in need—to examine the rela�onship between waste and scarcity in global ci�es under late capitalism and the fight for food jus�ce.
Alice Tilche charts changes in adivasi aesthe�cs, home life, a�re, food, and ideas of religiosity emerging from nego�a�on with the homogenizing forces of Hinduiza�on, development, and globaliza�on.

Over a million Indians travel annually to work in oil projects in the Gulf, one of the few interna�onal des�na�ons offering lucra�ve employment to men without formal educa�on. Andrea Wright demonstrates how migra�on is deeply informed both by workers’ dreams for the future and the legacies of colonial capitalism.
Elizabeth A. Povinelli theorizes the clima�c, environmental, viral, and social catastrophe present as an ancestral catastrophe that Indigenous and colonized peoples have been suffering through for centuries. In this way, the violence and philosophies the West relies on now threatens the West itself.

In Ci�zens without a City, Jan-Jonathan Bock reveals how a dispropor�onate government response exacerbated survivors' sense of crisis, divided the local popula�on, and induced new types of poli�cal ac�on. Italy's disenfranchising emergency reac�on relocated ci�zens to camps and sites across a ruined townscape, without a plan for restora�on or return.
Cargoes in Mo�on considers both the materiality and special trajectories of cargoes across the Indian Ocean world in order to be�er understand the processes of exchange and their economic, social, cultural, and poli�cal effects on the region.

The contributors to Healing at the Periphery examine Sowa Rigpa, or Tibetan medicine, and the central part prac��oners of Tibetan healing known as amchis play in Indian Himalayan communi�es and the exile Tibetan community. 4
Germany has been infamously dubbed the "Brothel of Europe," but how does legalized pros�tu�on actually work? Is it empowering or vic�mizing, realis�c or dangerous? Staiger's ethnography engages historical, cultural, and legal context to reframe the brothel as a place of longing and belonging, of affec�ve entanglements between unlikely partners, and of new beginnings across borders.

Laura A. Ogden considers a wide range of people, animal, and objects together as a way to catalog the ways environmental change and colonial history are entangled in the Fuegian Archipelago of southernmost Chile and Argen�na.
Love and Libera�on tells a new kind of humanitarian story—the protagonists are not volunteers from afar, but rather, are Somali locals caring for each other. Carruth provides an alterna�ve vision of what "humanitarian" response means in prac�ce—not driven by Interna�onal Humanitarian Law, the missions of Western relief organiza�ons, or trends in the aid industry.

TEMPLE UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS
In the three largest ci�es in Sweden, social movement “scenes”—networks of social movement actors and the places they inhabit—challenge threats such as gentrifica�on. Creasap inves�gates key spaces for scenes, showing how ac�vists develop structures of resistance that are an�-capitalist, an�fascist, an�-gentrifica�on, queer, and feminist.
Making Livable Worlds weaves together autobiography, ethnography, interviews, memories, and fieldwork to recast narra�ves that con�nuously erase Black Puerto Rican women as agents of social change. Lloréns serves as an “ethnographer of home” as she brings to life the powerful histories and tes�monies of a marginalized, disavowed community.

In Mul�situated Kaushik Sunder Rajan evaluates the promises and poten�als of mul�sited ethnography in light of contemporary debates around decolonizing anthropology and the university.

Substan�al Rela�ons is about the historical and contemporary making of global reproduc�ve medicine in India, with a focus on In Vitro Fer�liza�on (IVF). It depicts the country's trajectory by tracing the transna�onal travels of biological material, knowledge claims, medical supplies, and financial investments as vital substances that have animated this medical field.
In the mid-1980s, the shortage of men caused by the Indochina Wars prompted some Vietnamese women to pursue single motherhood by “asking for a child” (xin con)—asking men to get them pregnant outside marriage. Phinney explores the prac�ce of xin con and how it was embraced by the state.
