Broken Links, Enduring Ties
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
