In Good CompanyAn Anatomy of Corporate Social ResponsibilityDinah RajakUnder the banner of corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporations have become increasingly important players in international development. These days, CSR’s union of eco-nomics and ethics is virtually unquestioned as an antidote to harsh neoliberal reforms and the delinquency of the state, but nothing is straightforward about this apparently win-win formula. Chronicling transna-tional mining corporation Ang-lo American’s pursuit of CSR, In Good Company explores what lies behind the movement’s marriage of moral imperative and market discipline.

“This is a particularly important book for our current moment. It demonstrates with great clarity not only the failures and false promises of corporate social re-sponsibility but also its dangers. Striking!”

Palestinian Village HistoriesGeographies of the DisplacedRochelle A. DavisPalestinian Village Histories reveals how history is written, recorded, and contested, as well as the roles that Palestin-ian conceptions of their past play in contemporary life. Moving beyond the grand nar-ratives of 20th century politi-cal struggles, this book ana-lyzes individual and collective historical accounts of everyday life in pre-1948 Palestinian villages as composed today from the perspectives of these long-term refugees.

“The study intertwines ethnog-raphy with anthropological theories, concluding with an examination of the role of memory in writing history . . . An added bonus to the book is the extensive bibliography that will serve the serious student well for further study.”

GridlockLabor, Migration, and Human Trafficking in DubaiPardis MahdaviLegislators hoping to combat human trafficking focus heav-ily on women and sex work, but there is real potential for abuse of both male and female migrants in a variety of areas of employment—whether on the street, in a field, at a restaurant, or at someone’s house. Gridlock explores how migrants’ actual experiences in Dubai contrast with the typical discussions—and global moral panic—about human trafficking.

“Pardis Mahdavi provides a valuable service by exposing the contradictions and com-plexities that so often muddle the discussions and debates surrounding the issue of hu-man trafficking. She makes an impassioned call for a more rational policy for dealing with this scourge, a call that es-chews the sometimes simplistic and often melodramatic rheto-ric surrounding the problem of international human trafficking.”

Bazaar PoliticsPower and Pottery in an Afghan Market TownNoah CoburnAfter the fall of the Taliban, in-stability reigned across Afghani-stan. However, in the small town of Istalif, located a little over an hour north of Kabul and not far from Bagram on the Shomali Plain, local politics remained relatively violence-free. Bazaar Politics examines this seemingly paradoxical situ-ation, exploring how the town’s local politics maintained peace despite a long, violent history in a country dealing with a grow-ing insurgency.

“The focus on a single village opens understanding of crucial factors about Afghanistan that need comprehension. The complexities of political power, why decisions are often difficult to achieve, the superficiality of nGo and foreign interventions, and the fictions that sustain political interactions are as en-lightening as they are humbling to our theorizing.”

On the Edge of the GlobalModern Anxieties in a Pacific Island NationNiko BesnierThis illuminating ethnography explores the malaise present in postcolonial Tonga, analyzing the way in which segments of this small-scale society hold on to different understandings of what modernity is, how it should be made relevant to local contexts, and how it should mesh with practices and symbols of tradition.

“Ethnographically acute and open-eared, interpretively imagi-native and principled, and always engaging, besnier’s book takes Tonga from ‘the edge’ to the center of new ways of thinking about ‘the global.’ ”

—Don Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz

“besnier’s study of Tonga as a ner-vous kaleidoscope—of make-up, make-over, bodybuilding, and the pawning and reselling of everyday things—is sharply observed and beautifully drawn. Clear, smart, witty, and touching.”

Paradise RedefinedTransnational Chinese Students and the Quest for Flexible Citizenship in the Developed WorldVanessa L. FongIn 2004, Vanessa Fong of-fered a groundbreaking ethnographic exploration of the social, economic, and psychological development

of children born since China’s one-child policy was in-troduced in 1979. Her book Only Hope left readers with a picture of stressed, ambitious adolescents for whom elite status was the ultimate goal, though relatively few were in a position to achieve it.

In Paradise Redefined, Fong tracks the experiences of many in her initial cohort of Chinese only-children—now college-age—as they study abroad in Australia, Europe, Ja-pan, New Zealand, North America, and Singapore. While earning a prestigious college education in China is the main path to elite status, study abroad provides an alterna-tive channel by offering a particularly flexible “developed world” citizenship. This flexible citizenship promises the potential for greater happiness and freedom afforded by transnational mobility, but also brings with it unexpected suffering, ambivalence, and disappointment. Paradise Redefined offers insights into China’s globalization by ex-amining the expectations and experiences that affect how various Chinese students make decisions about studying abroad, staying abroad, immigration, and returning home.

“from Only Hope to Paradise Redefined, fong’s unique, longitudi-nal research offers an invaluable key to better understand the singleton generation in China who have come of age in the first decade of the 21st century, and will to a great extent determine the future of the most populous country on earth.”

—Yunxiang Yan, University of California, Los Angeles

“Those familiar with Only Hope will welcome this impressive trans-national sequel, and a wider audience of globalization and migra-tion scholars, educators, policy makers, and China scholars will find it a timely, authoritative, and unique source of insight into Chinese students abroad.”

Aspiring to HomeSouth Asians in AmericaBakirathi ManiWhat does it mean to belong? At the turn of the 21st century, how are diasporic subjects fashioning identities and communities that bind them together in productive, multi-generational relationships? In Aspiring to Home, Bakirathi Mani examines these ques-tions with a focus on immi-grants from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Advancing a theory of locality—that is, the means through which highly diverse first- and second-gen-eration immigrants, of varying regional, religious and linguis-tic backgrounds, experience what it means to belong—Mani showcases how ethnic-ity is produced through the intimate relationship between domestic racial formations and global movements of class and capital.Asian America336 pp., 20119780804778008 Paper $27.95 $22.36 sale9780804777995 Cloth $85.00 $68.00 sale

Resources for ReformOil and Neoliberal-ism in ArgentinaElana SheverWhile most people live far from the sites of oil produc-tion, oil politics involves us all. Resources for Reform explores how people’s lives intersect with the increasingly globalized and concentrated oil industry through a close look at Argenti-na’s experiment with privatizing its national oil company in the name of neoliberal reform.

Examining Argentina’s con-version of its state-controlled oil market to a private market, Elana Shever reveals intercon-nections between large-scale transformations in society and small-scale shifts in everyday practice, intimate relation-ships, and identity. This engag-ing ethnography offers a win-dow into the experiences of middle-class oil workers and their families, impoverished residents of shanty settlements bordering refineries, and afflu-ent employees of transnational corporations as they struggle with rapid changes in the global economy, their country, and their lives. It reverberates far beyond the Argentine oil fields and offers a fresh ap-proach to the critical study of neoliberalism, kinship, citizen-ship, and corporations.

“Shever takes a critical look at the oil industry and the practic-es of oil companies like Shell—providing a clear, compelling exploration of the multiple sides of neoliberalism in Argen-tina. A major contribution.”

Civic EngagementsThe Citizenship Practices of Indian and Vietnamese ImmigrantsCaroline B. Brettell and Deborah Reed-DanahayFor refugees and immi-grants in the United States, expressions of citizenship and belonging emerge not

only during the naturalization process but also during more informal, everyday activities in the community. Based on research in the Dallas–Arlington–Fort Worth area of Texas, this book examines the sociocultural spaces in which Vietnamese and Indian immigrants are engaging with the wider civic sphere.

As Civic Engagements reveals, religious and ethnic organizations provide arenas in which immigrants de-velop their own ways of being and becoming “Ameri-can.” Skills honed at a meeting, festival, or banquet have resounding implications for the future political potential of these immigrant populations, both locally and nationally. Employing Lave and Wenger’s concept of “communities of practice” as a framework, this book emphasizes the variety of processes by which new citizens acquire the civic and leadership skills that help them to move from peripheral positions to more cen-tral roles in American society.

“A thoughtful and enlightening book based on detailed ethno-graphic research in one of America’s new immigrant gateways. Through wonderfully rich case studies and careful analysis, Civic Engagements provides important insights into how Vietnamese and Indian immigrants are learning to become American while also maintaining strong ethnic identities.” —Nancy Foner, author of Across Generations: Immigrant Families in America

“A graceful comparative look at two ‘new American’ communities. This book illustrates a crucial point about citizenship—that it is not to be measured simply by attainment of legal status but by engagement with others in activities that demonstrate belonging.”

—Karen Isaksen Leonard, University of California, Riverside


Fallen ElitesThe Military Other in Post-Unification GermanyAndrew BickfordMilitary officers are often the first to be considered politi-cally dangerous when a state loses its authority. Overnight, actions once considered cou-rageous are deemed criminal, and men once praised as heroes are redefined as vil-lains. In Fallen Elites, Andrew Bickford examines how states make soldiers and what hap-pens to fallen military elites when they no longer fit into the political spectrum.

“bickford relates an exceptional-ly nuanced story of once pow-erful men with considerable humor and insight. Fallen Elites makes a brilliant contribution to our thinking about milita-rism and the military’s impact on social life. It has relevance well beyond the former East Germany and is a truly fascinat-ing book.”

The Migration ApparatusSecurity, Labor, and Policymaking in the European UnionGregory FeldmanEvery year, millions of people from around the world grap-ple with the European Union’s emerging migration manage-ment apparatus. Through border controls, biometric information technology, and circular migration programs, this amorphous system com-bines a whirlwind of disparate policies. The Migration Ap-paratus examines the daily practices of migration policy officials as they attempt to harmonize legal channels for labor migrants while simul-taneously cracking down on illegal migration.

“The Migration Apparatus will make major, cutting-edge con-tributions to several fields. both the specific arguments—for ex-ample, about how the concept of circular migration is easing tensions—and the general arguments—about how EU policy is made and works—are fresh and exciting.”

—Susan Greenhalgh, University of California, Irvine


After Secular LawEdited by Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, Robert A. Yelle, and Mateo Taussig-Rubbo Bringing together scholars with a variety of perspectives and orientations, this work examines the interconnec-tions between law and religion and the unexpected histories and anthropologies of legal secularism in a globalizing modernity.

“You will never again look at ‘secular’ law in the same way af-ter reading this book. The topic of rethinking law and religion after the critique of secularity is important and timely, and this book reframes the entire debate through an ambitious, eclectic, and often brilliant series of interventions. It will be a benchmark in the many fields to which it contributes and is a major contribution to the study of law, religion, and politics.”

Silencing the SeaSecular Rhythms in Palestinian PoetryKhaled FuraniSilencing the Sea follows Pal-estinian poets’ debates about their craft as they traverse multiple and competing reali-ties of secularism and religion, expulsion and occupation, art, politics, immortality, death, fame, and obscurity. Khaled Furani takes his reader down ancient roads and across military checkpoints to join the poets’ worlds and engage with the rhythms of their lifelong journeys in Islamic and Arabic history, language, and verse. This excursion offers newfound understandings of how today’s secular age goes far beyond doctrine, to inhabit our very senses, imbuing all that we see, hear, feel, and say.

introducing a new series

Anthropology of PolicyA series edited by

Cris Shore and Susan Wright

Advisory BoardDonald Brenneis

University of California, Santa CruzJanine Wedel

George Mason UniversityDvora Yanow

University of Amsterdam

The Anthropology of Policy series develops a new agenda for anthro-pology by promoting innovative methodological and theoretical ap-proaches to the study of policy. The series explores policy as an anthro-pological phenomenon in its sharp-est sense: from the way policies are conceptualised and performed and the roles they play in mobilizing ac-tors and institutions and transform-ing political systems to the meth-odological challenges their study poses for anthropology itself. books in the series examine comparative and global issues in connection with local and regional processes. They also address themes of wider public debate, from neoliberalism, resource management, welfare reform, and poverty reduction mea-sures to militarism, global security, the international financial crisis, and the construction of new regimes of governance and power.

Coming from an anthropological perspective, the series challenges the assumption that policy is a top-down, linear, and rational pro-cess, and a field of study primarily for policy professionals. It analyses the contradictory nature and ef-fects of policy, including the com-plex ways in which people engage with policy and the meanings it holds for different local, regional, national, and internationally based actors. In doing so, the series will advance anthropological under-standing of contemporary political issues and of policy itself as a site of contestation and negotiation.

Faces of AgingThe Lived Experiences of the Elderly in JapanEdited by Yoshiko MatsumotoFaces of Aging foregrounds a spectrum of elder-centered issues—social activity, caregiving, generational bias, suicide, sexuality, and communication with medical professionals, to name a few—from the perspec-tive of those who are living them. The volume offers a diverse selection of qualitative studies of aging to researchers across the social sciences.

“Japan today is at a demographic crossroads unprecedented in history. It has the longest life expectancy and it is the most rapidly aging society in the world today. This timely and in-novative volume is an important intellectual contribution to this critical issue facing many post-industrial nations. It creatively brings together multidisciplinary contributors from the humani-ties and the social sciences to medicine and caregiving, to shed light on new ways of grow-ing old in Japan.”

BrokeHow Debt Bankrupts the Middle ClassEdited by Katherine PorterAbout 1.5 million households filed bankruptcy in the last year, making bankruptcy as common as college graduation and divorce. The recession has pushed more and more families into financial collapse—with unemployment, declines in retirement wealth, and falling house values destabilizing the American middle class. Broke explores the consequences of this unprecedented growth in consumer debt and shows how excessive borrowing under-mines the prosperity of middle class America.

“Too many American families are deep in debt because their wag-es haven’t kept up, their jobs are vanishing, and their homes are worth less and less. It’s not only a human tragedy for them but also a national problem as their debt burden hobbles the Ameri-can economy and their inability to repay cripples lenders. What should be done? Here’s a useful and insightful guide to policies that can help.”
