The Struggle for
2 the World
Liberation Move-
ments for the 21st
Century
Charles Lindholm and
José Pedro Zúquete
What do Mexico’s Zapatistas,
the French National Front,
Slow Food, rave subculture,
and al-Qaeda all have in com-
mon? From right-wing to
left-wing to no-wing, they all
proudly proclaim their mis-
sion to defend their distinctive
identities against modernity’s
homogenizing processes. This
controversial book establishes
fundamental similarities be-
tween anti-globalization “au-
rora” movements that aim to
destroy the modern world and
bring a radiant new dawn to
humankind.
“The Struggle for the World is the
first to look beyond the specific
political designations of differ-
ent antiglobalist tendencies
to emphasize the common
redemptive, identitarian, and
populist character they share.”

Occidental Observer

On the Edge of
the Global
Modern Anxieties
in a Pacific Island
Nation
Niko Besnier
This book explores the malaise
present in the postcolonial
Global South, focused specifi-
cally within one society “on
the edge of the global,” the is-
land kingdom of Tonga. Niko
Besnier’s ethnography analyz-
es the ways in which segments
of this small-scale society hold
on to different understandings
of what modernity is, how it
should be made relevant to lo-
cal contexts, and how it should
mesh with practices and sym-
bols of tradition.

The Tourism

Fashioning Latin
American Nations
and Histories
Florence E. Babb
“Mark Twain once wrote that
travel is fatal to prejudice and
narrow-mindedness. Yet as
Florence Babb shows effec-
tively in this panoramic journey
and anthropological analysis
of post-revolutionary Latin
America, travel cannot escape
history. As she uncovers, travel
is always packed with the poli-
tics of social relations, past and
present. And that’s just the way
it should be, as this book so
ably demonstrates.”

Identity and

in Latin America
Monica C. DeHart
“Once the very idea of the Ethnic
Entrepreneur would have been
an oxymoron. Now, in Latin
America, ethnic subjects are
widely regarded as essential
agents of development. In
exploring the shifts that have
made this transformation pos-
sible, Monica DeHart provides
an enlightening account of the
ways in which ethnic identity,
market forces, and develop-
ment strategy are reshaping
each other in neoliberal times.”

Global Issues
Ethnic Europe
Mobility, Identity,
and Conflict in a
Globalized World
Edited by Roland Hsu
Ethnic Europe examines the in-
creasingly complex ethnic chal-
lenges facing the expanding
European Union. Essays from
eleven experts tackle such is-
sues as labor migration, strains
on welfare economies, the du-
rability of local traditions, the
effects of globalized cultures,
and the role of Islamic diaspo-
ras, separatist movements, and
threats of terrorism.
“This book is a timely and incisive
contribution to our understand-
ing of migration flows into Eu-
rope in today’s globalized world.
It is an excellent guide and tool
in analyzing a subject of major
importance for the road ahead
for European integration.”

Timepass
Youth, Class, and
the Politics of
Waiting in India
Craig Jeffrey
Timepass offers a captivating
ethnography of the student
politics and youth activism
that lower middle class young
men in India have undertaken
in response to pervasive un-
deremployment. It highlights
the importance of waiting as
a social experience and basis
for political mobilization, the
micro-politics of class power
in north India, and the socio-
economic strategies of lower
middle classes.
“In this gracefully written book,
Craig Jeffrey draws on fine eth-
nography to explore the little
understood world of Indian
youth, for long largely neglect-
ed by scholars, illuminating
what it means to be a young
man with aspirations and lim-
ited opportunities in today’s
India. A tour de force.”

Working the
Night Shift
Women in India’s Call
Center Industry
Reena Patel
Working the Night Shift is the
first in-depth study of the trans-
national call center industry that
is written from the point of view
of women workers. It uncovers
how call center employment
affects their lives, mainly as it
relates to the anxiety that In-
dian families and Indian society
have towards women going out
at night, earning a good salary,
and being exposed to western
culture. This timely account il-
lustrates the ironic and, at times,
unsettling experiences of wom-
en who enter the spaces and
places made accessible through
call center work.
“In clear and accessible prose, she
interweaves insightful analysis
with the real life stories of these
key players of economic global-
ization. Working the Night Shift
should become indispensable
reading; it is a book for everyone,
for right now.”

Well-Being
10 Health and the
Working Bodies
of Silicon Valley
J.A. English-Lueck
As the great American work-
benefit experiment erodes,
companies are increasingly ask-
ing people to take responsibility
for managing their own health.
The integration of workplace
productivity with personal
health has created national pat-
terns of discrimination against
those not in the productive
mainstream, including the un-
employed, retired, and chroni-
cally ill. But new ideas about
work and health can clarify
core American values, highlight
emerging global trends, and
provide a vital assessment of
the evolution of our shared
pursuit of well-being.
“A remarkable book. It raises
important questions regarding
the changing nature of work, of
healthcare, of personal agency,
of social networks, of cultural
pluralism and of social justice.”

Emotions in
the Field
The Psychology
and Anthropology
of Fieldwork
Experience
Edited by James Davies
and Dimitrina Spencer
Emotions in the Field explores
the idea that emotion is not
antithetical to thought or rea-
son, but is instead an untapped
source of insight that can
complement more traditional
methods of anthropological
research. It shows how certain
reactions and experiences con-
sistently evoked in fieldwork,
when treated with the intel-
lectual rigor empirical work
demands, can be translated
into meaningful data.
“A powerful affirmation of the
humanity of the field encoun-
ter in all its ambivalence, and a
timely call for social scientists
to harness the rich potential
of a people-centered research
enterprise.”

Interdisciplinary
Conversations
Challenging Habits
of Thought
Myra H. Strober
Interest in doing, funding, and
studying interdisciplinary work
has built to crescendo in recent
years. But despite this grow-
ing enthusiasm, our collective
understanding of the dynam-
ics, rewards, and challenges of
faculty conversations across
disciplines remains murky.
Through six case studies of
interdisciplinary seminars for
faculty, Interdisciplinary Con-
versations investigates pivotal
interdisciplinary conversations
and analyzes the factors that
make them work.
“Myra Strober boldly challenges
widely held assumptions about
the value of interdisciplinary
interactions and offers fresh
and novel insights. If academic
and administrative leaders
follow her recommendations,
they will greatly improve the
chances of fostering successful
interdisciplinary conversations.”

The Price of Truth
Gift, Money, and
Philosophy 11
Marcel Hénaff
Translated by Jean-Louis
Morhange
“Among the numerous stud-
ies of the ‘gift’—ceremonial
gift-giving as distinct from
exchange and from charity—
Marcel Hénaff’s wide-ranging
book is the best. Its empirical
richness is disciplined by a
rigorous conceptual frame-
work. This is one of the most
important philosophical works
of our time.””
