American Adoption across Race,Class, and Nation

LINDA J. SELIGMANN

Tis book is a comparativeinvestigation o transnational andinterracial adoptions in America.Linda Seligmann uncovers the impacto these adoptions over the lasttwenty years on the ideologies andcultural assumptions that Americanshold about amilies and how theyare constituted. Tis book exploreswhether or not new kinds o amiliesand communities are emerging as aresult o these adoptions, providing a

compelling narrative on how adoptiveamilies thrive and struggle to createlasting ties.

Seligmann observed and interviewednumerous adoptive parents andchildren, non-adoptive amilies,religious figures, teachers and admin-istrators, and adoption brokers. Tebook uncovers that adoptiononcewholly stigmatizedis now ofenembraced either as a romanticizedmission o rescue or, conversely, as

simply one among multiple ways tomake a amily.

In this terrific book, Linda J. Seligmanncompares the meanings that adoptiveparents in the United States attributeto race and nation and considers howchildren respond.

The Ethnic Project

ransforming Racial Fiction intoEthnic Factions

VILNA BASHI TREITLER

Race is a known fiction yet the socialstigma o race endures. In the UnitedStates, ethnicity is ofen positionedas a counterweight to race, and wecelebrate our various hyphenated-American identities. But Vilna Bashireitler argues that we do so at a highcost: ethnic thinking simply perpetu-ates an underlying racism.

In Te Ethnic Project, Bashi reitlerconsiders the ethnic history o theUnited States rom the arrival o theEnglish in North America through tothe present day. racing the histories oimmigrant and indigenous groups, sheshows how each negotiates Americasracial hierarchy, aiming to distancethemselves rom the bottom and alignwith the groups already at the top. Butin pursuing these ethnic projectsthese groups implicitly accept andperpetuate a racial hierarchy, shoringup rather than dismantling race andracism. Ultimately, Te Ethnic Project

shows how dangerous ethnic thinkingcan be in a society that has not let go oracial thinking.

In the United States, immigration isgenerally seen as a law and order issue.Amidst increasing anti-immigrantsentiment, unauthorized migrantshave been cast as lawbreakers. Govern-ing Immigration Trough Crime offersa comprehensive and accessibleintroduction to the use o crime andpunishment to manage undocu-mented immigrants.

Te belie that the United States is a

welcoming nation o immigrants isstill widely held, but this book presentsus with a stark, alternative reality:manuacturing crime and punishmentis now the leading orm o controllingundocumented immigration in the U.S.Offering a set o thought-provoking es-says, this important volume examinesnew mechanisms o governing immigra-tion through the institutionalization ocriminalization, ocused particularlyaround the U.S.-Mexico borderlands.

Crime and punishment is not only aDostoevskian moral tale o 19th century,but a dominant challenge o our time.

The DREAMers

How the Undocumented YouthMovement ransformed theImmigrant Rights Debate

WALTER J. NICHOLLS

Te DREAMersprovides the firstinvestigation o the youth movementthat has transormed the national im-migration debate, rom its start in theearly 2000s through the present day.Walter Nicholls draws on interviews,news stories, and firsthand encounterswith activists to highlight the strate-gies and claims that have created thisnow-powerul voice in Americanpolitics. Facing high levels o

anti-immigrant sentiment across thecountry, undocumented youths soughtto increase support or their cause andchange the terms o debate by arguingor their unique positionas cultur-ally integrated, long term residents andmost importantly as American youthsharing in core American values.

Immigrant rights may be the mostimportant social movement o ourtime, and the young Americans knownas DREAMers have incredible stories

to tell. Just the kind o stories that, setin this vital context, make or a goodbookwhich Nicholls has provided.

Insufficient Funds

Te Culture of Money in Low-Wage ransnational Families

HUNG CAM THAI

Drawing on interviews and fieldworkwith more than one hundred memberso transnational amilies, HungCam Tai examines how and whyimmigrants, who largely earn lowwages as hairdressers, cleaners, andother invisible workers, send homea substantial portion o their earnings,as well as spend lavishly on relativesduring return trips. Extending beyondmere altruism, this spending ismotivated by complex social obliga-

tions and the desire to gain sel-worthdespite their limited economicopportunities in the United States. Atthe same time, such remittances raiseexpectations or standards o living,producing a cascade effect that mon-etizes amily relationships. InsufficientFundspowerully illuminates theseand other contradictions associatedwith money and its new meanings inan increasingly transnational world.

With rich narratives and def analyses,

Insufficient Fundssheds light on thecomplex meanings and dynamics omoney, obligations, status, and worth intransnational amilies.

All countries promote national nar-ratives that turn historical diversitiesinto imagined commonalities, ap-pealing to shared language, religion,history, or political practice. TeHeadscar Debatesexplores how theheadscar has become a symbol usedto reaffirm or transorm these storieso belonging. Anna Korteweg andGke Yurdakul juxtapose currentcultural and political debates andinterviews with social activists in

France, Germany, and the Nether-landscountries with significantMuslim-immigrant populationsandurkeyan important bridge betweenEurope and the Middle Eastandchart how the headscar can reaffirmold or produce new national identities.

Te Headscar Debatespays unique at-tention to how Muslim women speakor themselves, how their actions andstatements reverberate throughoutnational debates. Ultimately, this

book sheds important light onhow belonging and nationhoodis imagined and reimagined in anincreasingly global world.

Moving Matters

Paths of Serial Migration

SUSAN OSSMAN

Moving Mattersis a richly nuanced

portrait o the serial migrant: a personwho has lived in several countries,calling each one at some point home.Te stories told here are both extraor-dinary and increasingly common.Serial migrants rarely travel reely, yetas they move rom one country toanother, they can use border-crossingsas moments o sel-clarification. Teyofen become masters o settlementas they turn each country into a liechapter.

Susan Ossman ollows this diverseand growing population not only tounderstand how paths o serial move-ment produce certain ways o lie, butalso to illuminate an ongoing tensionbetween global fluidity and the powero nation-states.

Women, Reproduction, andHIV/AIDS in India

CECILIA VAN HOLLEN

Tis book is a vivid and poignantportrayal o the experiences oHIV-positive women in India duringpregnancy, birth, and motherhoodat the beginning o the 21st century.Based on research conducted by theauthor in India, this book chroniclesthe experiences o women rom thepoint o their decisions about whetherto accept HIV testing, through theirdecisions about whether or notto continue with the birth i they

test HIV-positive, their birthingexperiences in hospitals, decisions andpractices surrounding breast-eeding

vs. bottle-eeding, and their hopes andears or the uture o their children.

Poor pregnant women targeted by HIV-prevention programs in amil Nadu un-derstand their decisions about testing tosigniy empowerment, assert their supe-rior maternity through the unlikely sac-rifice o not breasteeding, and mobilizepower through HIV-support networks.

Van Hollens meticulous and ascinatingstudy reveals how global health practicescreate unexpected local effects.

Incest Avoidance and

Incest Taboos

Aspects of Human Nature

ARTHUR P. WOLF

Why do most people never have sexwith close relatives? And why do theydisapprove o other people doing so?Incest Avoidance and Incest aboosinvestigates our human inclination toavoid incest and the powerul tabooagainst incest ound in all societies.Both subjects stir strong eelingsand vigorous arguments within andbeyond academic circles. With greatclarity, Wol lays out the modern as-sumptions about both, concluding that

all previous approaches lack precisionand balance on insecure evidence.

Wol tests his own theory with threenatural experiments: bintam (cousin)marriage in Morocco, the rarity omarriage within Israeli kibbutz peergroups, and minor marriages (inwhich baby girls were raised by theiruture mother-in-law to marry anadoptive brother) in China andaiwan. Tese cross-cultural compari-sons complete his original and intel-

lectually rich theory o incest, one thatmarries biology and culture by ac-counting or both avoidance and taboo.

Rural Sunni Islam in Westernurkey

KIMBERLY HART

urkeys contemporary struggles withIslam are ofen interpreted as a conflictbetween religion and secularismplayed out most obviously in the splitbetween rural and urban populations.Te reality, o course, is more compli-cated than the assumptions. Exploringreligious expression in two villages,this book considers rural spiritualpractices and describes a living,evolving Sunni Islam, influenced andtransormed by local and national

sources o religious orthodoxy.

And Ten We Work or God not onlyreveals that there is no one traditionalIslam, but thoughtully uncovers howthe practice o rural Islam is intimatelyconnected to changing visions o thestate and religion in the rest o urkeyand the world.

The Guaran and Their

Missions

A Socioeconomic History

JULIA J. S. SARREAL

Te thirty Guaran missions o the Rode la Plata were the largest and mostprosperous o all the Catholic missionsestablished throughout the rontierregions o the Americas to convert,acculturate, and incorporate indigenouspeoples and their lands into the Spanishand Portuguese empires. But between1768 and 1800, the mission populationell by almost hal and the economybecame insolvent. Tis unique socio-economic history provides a coherent

and comprehensive explanation or themissions operation and decline, pro-viding readers with an understandingo the material changes experienced bythe Guaran in their day-to-day lives.

By illuminating the complexity oGuaran responses to the dramaticallyaltered political and economic landscapeinitiated by the Jesuit expulsion, Sarreal

provides a challenging and innovative re-examination o the mission communitiesin the late colonial period.

Rhinestones, Religion, and

the Republic

Fashioning Jewishness in France

KIMBERLY A. ARKIN

Rhinestones, Religion, and the Republicargues that Sephardi youth, as both

Arabs and Jews, all betweencategories o class, religion, andculture. Many reacted to this liminalityby going beyond religion and cultureto categorize their Jewishness as race,distinguishing Sephardi Jews rom

Arab Muslims, regardless o similari-ties they shared, while linking themto European Jews (Ashkenazim),regardless o their differences. But

while racializing Jewishness mighthave made Sephardi Frenchness pos-sible, it produced the opposite result:it re-grounded national communityin religion-as-race, thereby makingpluri-religious community appearthreatening. Kimberly Arkin thussheds light on the production o race,alienation, and intolerance withinmarginalized French and Europeanpopulations.

Tis bold book takes on the subject o

French Jewish adolescent racismatopic so untouchable that Arkin wasexpelled rom the school in which shewas doing fieldwork afer having pub-licly acknowledged the phenomenon. Itis a careully researched and notablyhistoric ethnographic explanation o acomplex subject.

Memories of Absence

How Muslims Remember Jewsin Morocco

AOMAR BOUM

Memories o Absenceinvestigates howour successive Moroccan generationsremember the lost Jewish community.Moroccan attitudes toward the Jew-ish population have changed overthe decades, and a new debate hasemerged at the center o the Moroccannation: Where does the Jew fit in thecontext o an Arab and Islamic mon-archy? Can Jews simultaneously beMoroccans and Zionists? Drawing onoral testimony and stories, on rumor

and humor, Aomar Boum examinesthe strong shif in opinion and attitudeover the generations and increasinglyanti-Semitic belies in younger people,whose only exposure to Jews has beenthrough international media andnational memory.

Nothing short o extraordinary, Memo-ries o Absenceis theoretically sophis-ticated, empirically rich, and infinitelysensitive to its subjects.A necessaryand wonderul work or all invested in

Muslim-Jewish relations, the cultures oNorth Arica, and the shaping o trans-

generational memory in the contempo-rary world.
