Anthropology 2012 The Paper RoadArchive and Experience in the Botanical Exploration of West China and Tibet

Erik Mueggler

This book interweaves the stories of two early twentieth-cen-tury botanists to explore the collaborative relationships each formed with Yunnan villagers in gathering botanical speci-mens from the borderlands between China, Tibet, and Burma. “An eloquent, even haunting narrative of the relationships between colonial explorers/scientists and their native col-laborators that makes vivid the theme of ‘colonial intimacy.’” —Charlotte Furth, University of Southern California.

Humanitarian ReasonA Moral History of the Present

Didier Fassin

Didier Fassin draws on case materials from France, South Africa, Venezuela, and Palestine to explore the meaning of humanitarianism in the contexts of immigration and asylum, disease and poverty, disaster and war. He traces and analyzes recent shifts in moral and political discourse and practices— what he terms “humanitarian reason”—and shows in vivid examples how humanitarianism is confronted by inequality and violence.

“A rigourous, principled, and compelling account of the emergence of humanitarianism.”—Michael Lambek, editor of Illness and Irony“Humanitarianism emerges both as a form of reason and as a key force in the contemporary arts of government.”—Claudio Lomnitz, author of Death and the Idea of Mexico

Didier Fassin is the James D. Wolfensohn Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Blue JeansThe Art of the Ordinary

Daniel Miller and Sophie Woodward

This fresh and accessible ethnography offers a new vision of how society might cohere, in the face of on-going global displacement, dislocation, and migration. Based on intensive field work in a highly diverse North London neighborhood, Daniel Miller and Sophie Woodward focus on an every-day item—blue jeans—to learn what one simple article of clothing can tell us about our individual and social lives and challenging, by extension, the foundational anthropological presumption of “the normative.”

Daniel Miller is Professor of Anthropology at University College, London. He is the author of many books, including The Comfort of Things, Stuff, and Tales from Facebook. Sophie Woodward is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Manchester and the author of Why Women Wear What They Wear.

Between One and One AnotherMichael Jackson

Michael Jackson extends his path-breaking work in exis-tential anthropology by focusing on the interplay between two modes of human existence: that of participating in other peoples’ lives and that of turning inward to one’s self. Grounding his discussion in the subtle shifts between being acted upon and taking action, Jackson shows how the histori-cal complexities and particularities found in human interac-tions reveal the dilemmas, conflicts, cares, and concerns that shape all of our lives.

Michael Jackson is Distinguished Visiting Professor of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School.

The Nature of RaceHow Scientists Think and Teach about Human Difference

Ann Morning

What do Americans think “race” means? What determines one’s race—appearance, ancestry, genes, or culture? How do education, government, and business influence our views on race? To unravel these complex questions, Ann Morning takes a close look at how scientists are influencing ideas about race through teaching and textbooks. Drawing from in-depth interviews with biologists, anthropologists, and undergradu-ates, Morning explores different conceptions of race—finding for example, that while many sociologists now assume that race is a social invention or “construct,” anthropologists and biologists are far from such a consensus.

Ann Morning is Assistant Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology at New York University.

Engineering HappinessA New Approach for Building a Joyful Life

Rakesh Sarin and Manel Baucells

Rakesh Sarin and Manel Baucells have been conducting groundbreaking research on happiness for more than a decade, and in this book they distill their provocative findings into a lively, accessible guide for a wide audience of readers. Integrat-ing their own research with the latest thinking in the behav-ioral and social sciences—including management science, psychology, and economics—they offer a new approach to the puzzle of happiness. What Sarin and Baucells have found is that well-being is not the capricious outcome of destiny or fortune, like winning the lottery, but that it can be influenced by our decisions—in fact, that the essence of happiness itself is choice. In this practical book they tell how we can master the six essen-tial laws of happiness, avoid traps we face every day, and lay the groundwork for building a happier life over time.

Sex CellsThe Medical Market for Eggs and Sperm

Rene Almeling

Unimaginable until the twentieth century, the clinical prac-tice of transferring eggs and sperm from body to body is now the basis of a bustling market. In Sex Cells, Rene Almeling provides an inside look at how egg agencies and sperm banks do business. Although both men and women are usually drawn to donation for financial reasons, Almeling finds that clinics encourage sperm donors to think of the payments as remuneration for an easy “job.” Women receive more money but are urged to regard egg donation in feminine terms, as the ultimate “gift” from one woman to another.

Rene Almeling is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yale University.

Educating Intuition

The Cultural ReturnSusan Hegeman

This insightful book tracks the concept of culture across a range of scholarly disciplines and much of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries—years that saw the emergence of new fields and subfields (cultural studies, the new cultural history, literary new historicism, as well as ethnic and minori-ty studies) and came to be called “the cultural turn.” Since the 1990s, however, the idea of culture has fallen out of scholarly favor. Susan Hegeman engages with a diversity of disciplines, including anthropology, literary studies, sociology, philoso-phy, psychology, and political science, to historicize the rise and fall of the cultural turn and to propose ways that culture may still be a vital concept in the global present.

Susan Hegeman is Associate Professor of English at the University of Florida and is the author of Patterns for America: Modernism and the Concept of Culture.

Our Bodies Belong to GodOrgan Transplants, Islam, and the Struggle for Human Dignity in Egypt

Sherine Hamdy

Why has Egypt, a pioneer of organ transplantation, been re-luctant to pass a national organ transplant law for more than three decades? This book analyzes the national debate over organ transplantation in Egypt as it has unfolded during a time of major social and political transformation—including mounting dissent against a brutal regime, the privatization of health care, advances in science, the growing gap between rich and poor, and the Islamic revival. Sherine Hamdy recasts bioethics as a necessarily political project as she traces the moral positions of patients in need of new tissues and organs, doctors uncertain about whether transplantation is a “good” medical or religious practice, and Islamic scholars.

Sherine Hamdy is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Brown University.

Religion & Culture


The Powerful EphemeralEveryday Healing in an Ambiguously Islamic Place

Carla Bellamy

The violent partitioning of British India along religious lines and ongoing communalist aggression have compelled Indian citizens to contend with the notion that an exclusive, fixed religious identity is fundamental to selfhood. Even so, Muslim saint shrines, known as dargahs attract a religiously diverse range of pilgrims. In this accessible ethnography, Carla Bel-lamy traces the long-term healing processes of Muslim and Hindu devotees of a complex of dargahs in northwestern India.

The Dalai Lama has represented Buddhism as a religion of non-violence, compassion, and world peace, but this does not reflect how monks learn their vocation. This book shows how monasteries use harsh methods to make monks of men, and how this tradition is changing as modernist reformers—like the Dalai Lama—adopt liberal and democratic ideals, such as natural rights and individual autonomy.

Making Chastity SexyThe Rhetoric of Evangelical Abstinence Campaigns

Christine J. Gardner

Even though they are immersed in sex-saturated society, millions of teens are pledging to remain virgins until their wedding night. How are evangelical Christians persuading young people to wait until marriage? Christine J. Gardner looks closely at the language of the chastity movement and discovers a savvy campaign that uses sex to “sell” abstinence. Drawing from interviews with evangelical leaders and teenag-ers, she examines the strategy to shift from a negative “just say no” approach to a positive one: “just say yes” to great sex within marriage.

In this evocative ethnography, Omri Elisha examines the hopes, frustrations, and activist strategies of American evan-gelical Christians. Focusing on two Tennessee megachurches, Moral Ambition reaches beyond political controversies over issues such as abortion, same-sex marriage, and public prayer to highlight the ways that evangelicals at the grassroots of the Christian Right promote faith-based causes intended to improve the state of social welfare.

“Takes us into the social world of evangelical megachurches, allowing us to grasp the experience at the heart of evangelical faith.” —T.M. Luhrmann, Stanford University

Spirits of ProtestantismMedicine, Healing, and Liberal Christianity

Pamela E. Klassen

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.”

Deep HistoryThe Architecture of Past and Present

Andrew Shryock and Daniel Lord Smail

Humans have always been interested in their origins, but historians have been reluctant to write about the long stretches of time before the invention of writing. In fact, the deep past was left out of most historical writing almost as soon as it was discovered. This breakthrough book, as important for readers interested in the present as in the past, brings science into his-tory to offer a dazzling new vision of humanity across time.

Beyond the BorderlandsMigration and Belonging in the United States and Mexico

Debra Lattanzi Shutika

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 trans-formations 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.

“This detailed study shows how Mexicans are making a place for themselves in one Pennsylvania town and reshaping the community in complex and unexpected ways.”—Nancy Foner, author of In a New Land

Debra Lattanzi Shutika is a folklorist and Associate Professor of English at George Mason University.

Coffee Life in JapanMerry White

This fascinating book—part ethnography, part memoir—traces Japan’s vibrant café society over one hundred and thirty years. Merry White follows Japan’s coffee craze from the turn of the twentieth century, when Japan helped to launch the Brazilian coffee industry, to the present day, as uniquely Japa-nese ways with coffee surface in Europe and America. She shows how coffee and coffee spaces have been central to the formation of Japanese notions about the uses of public space, social change, modernity, and pleasure.

Merry White is Professor of Anthropology at Boston University.

Coming to Terms with the NationEthnic Classification in Modern China

Thomas S. Mullaney

Foreword by Benedict Anderson

“We all know that China has 56 official ethnic groups, but un-til now none of us knew precisely why. Thomas Mullaney has given us a big part of the answer.”—Stevan Harrell, author of Ways of Being Ethnic in Southwest China

“Mullaney’s marvelous history not only provides a deep ac-count of Chinese ethnicity, it also deploys strikingly original tools to think with.”—Geoffrey C. Bowker, co-author of Sort-ing Things Out

“The most brilliant study yet of how nationality, or ‘ethnicity,’ is created.”—Ian Hacking, author of Making Up People

Thomas S. Mullaney is Assistant Professor of History at Stanford University.

Across Atlantic IceThe Origin of America’s Clovis Culture

Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley

Foreword by Michael B. CollinsWho were the first humans to inhabit North America? According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea. The presence of these early New World people was established by distinctive stone tools belonging to the Clovis culture. But are the Clovis tools Asian in origin? Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeolo-gists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge the old narrative and, in the process, counter traditional—and often subjective—approaches to archaeological testing for historical relatedness.

Dennis J. Stanford is Curator of Archaeology and Director of the Paleoindian Program at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. Bruce A. Bradley is Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Exeter and Director of its Experimental Archaeology Programme.

The Fossil ChroniclesHow Two Controversial Discoveries Changed Our View of Human Evolution

Dean Falk

Two discoveries of early human relatives, one in 1924 and one in 2003, radically changed scientific thinking about our origins. Dean Falk, a pioneer in the field of human brain evolution, offers this fast-paced insider’s account of these discoveries, the behind-the-scenes politics embroiling the scientists who found and analyzed them, and the academic and religious controversies they generated.

“With wit and authority, Falk tells the parallel stories of two fossil discoveries that surprised the world, revealing the larger significance of these finds.”—Pat Shipman, author of The Animal Connection

Dean Falk is a Senior Scholar at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Early Mesoamerican Social TransformationsArchaic and Formative Lifeways in the Soconusco Region

Edited by Richard G. Lesure

Between 3500 and 500 bc, the social landscape of ancient Mesoamerica was completely transformed. At the beginning of this period, the mobile lifeways of a sparse population were oriented toward hunting and gathering. Three millennia later, protourban communities teemed with people. These essays by leading Mesoamerican archaeologists examine developments of the era as they unfolded in the Soconusco region along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Guatemala.

“This volume presents a wealth of new research on an early time period from a very important region. Its importance cannot be underestimated.”—Terry G. Powis, Kennesaw State University

Richard G. Lesure is Associate Professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of California, Los Angeles.
