Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Scholarship related to environmental questions in Latin America has only recently begun to coalesce around citizenship as both an empirical site of inquiry and an analytical frame of reference. This has led to a series of new insights and perspectives, but few efforts have been made to bring these various approaches into a sustained conversation across different social, temporal and geographic contexts. This volume is the result of a collaborative endeavour to advance debates on environmental citizenship, while simultaneously and systematically addressing broader theoretical and methodological questions related to the particularities of studying environment and citizenship in Latin America. Providing a window onto leading scholarship in the field, the book also sets an ambitious agenda to spark further research.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Sugar was the single most valuable bulk commodity traded internationally before oil became the worlds prime resource. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, cane sugar production was pre-eminent in the Atlantic Islands, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Subsequently, cane sugar industries in the Americas were transformed by a fusion of new and old forces of production, as the international sugar economy incorporated production areas in Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. Sugars global economic importance and its intimate relationship with colonialism offer an important context for probing the nature of colonial societies. This book questions some major assumptions about the nexus between sugar production and colonial societies in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, especially in the second (post-1800) colonial era.

Having taken over the leadership of the French school of sociology after the death of his uncle, Emile Durkheim, in 1917, Mauss, celebrated author of The Gift, re-launched the flagship journal, the Annee sociologique. Here are two of Mauss's most significant statements on the social sciences. The first, written with Fauconnet, outlines the methodological orientations of the school. The second examines the internal organization of sociology as a division of intellectual labor. The essays are of interest to anthropologists as well as sociologists for Mauss, like Durkheim, did not distinguish in detail the two disciplines.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The 1970s saw the Aboriginal people of Australia struggle for recognition of their postcolonial rights. Rural communities, where large Aboriginal populations lived, were provoked as a consequence of social fragmentation, unparalleled unemployment, and other major economic and political changes. The ensuing riots, protests, and law-and-order campaigns in New South Wales captured the tense relations that existed between indigenous people, the police, and the criminal justice system. In Protests, Land Rights, and Riots, Barry Morris shows how neoliberal policies in Australia targeted those who were least integrated socially and culturally, and who enjoyed fewer legitimate economic opportunities. Amidst intense political debate, struggle, and conflict, new forces were unleashed as a post-settler colonial state grappled with its past. Morris provides a social analysis of the ensuing effects of neoliberal policy and the way indigenous rights were subsequently undermined by this emerging new political orthodoxy in the 1990s. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Though still a relatively young field, the study of Latin American environmental history is blossoming, as the contributions to this definitive volume demonstrate. Bringing together thirteen leading experts on the region, A Living Past synthesizes a wide range of scholarship to offer new perspectives on environmental change in Latin America and the Spanish Caribbean since the nineteenth century. Each chapter provides insightful, up-to-date syntheses of current scholarship on critical countries and ecosystems (including Brazil, Mexico, the Caribbean, the tropical Andes, and tropical forests) and such cross-cutting themes as agriculture, conservation, mining, ranching, science, and urbanization. Together, these studies provide valuable historical contexts for making sense of contemporary environmental challenges facing the region. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A feminist study of the mood, texture, tone, and multifaceted meaning of director Sofia Coppolas aesthetic through her most influential and well-known films.A Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2019With this book Rogers has produced a sophisticated and impassioned analysis of Coppolas work Rogerss main argument that Coppola manipulates pleasurable images to unsettle rather than mollify us is utterly convincing. If nothing else, this certainly hits home in relation to my own enchantment with Coppolas work.Bright Lights Film JournalAll too often, the movies of Sofia Coppola have been dismissed as all style, no substance. But such an easy caricature, as this engaging and accessible survey of Coppolas oeuvre demonstrates, fundamentally misconstrues what are rich, ambiguous, meaningful films.Drawing on insights from feminist philosophy and psychology, the author here takes an original approach to Coppola, exploring vital themes from the subversion of patriarchy in The Virgin Suicides to the female gothic in The Beguiled. As Rogers shows, far from endorsing a facile and depoliticized postfeminism, Coppolas films instead deploy beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy.From the Introduction:Sofia Coppola possesses a highly sophisticated and intricate knowledge of how images come to work on us; that is, she understands precisely how to construct an image what to add in and what to remove in order to achieve specific moods, tones and cinematic affects. She knows that similar kinds of images can have vastly different effects on the viewer depending on their context. This monograph is an extended study of Coppolas outstanding ability to think through and in images. Using the work of a range of feminist theorists, Backman Rogers situates Coppola's work as a critique of postfeminist lifestyles that offer the viewer a feminist and feminine philosophy through beguilement, mood and surface.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Presenting sixty theoretical ideas, David Zeitlyn asks How to write about anthropological theory without making a specific theoretical argument. David Zeitlyn has written a wryly engaging, short book on, essentially, why we should not become theoretical partisansthat, indeed, being a serious theorist means accepting precisely that principle.Michael Herzfeld, Harvard UniversityTo answer, he offers a series of mini essays about an eclectic collection of theoretical concepts that he has found helpful over the years. The book celebrates the muddled inconsistencies in the ways that humans live their messy lives. There are, however, still patterns discernible: the actors can understand what is going on, they see an event unfolding in ways that are familiar, as belonging to a certain type and therefore, Zeitlyn suggests, so can researchers.From the introduction:This book promotes an eclectic, multi-faceted anthropology in which multiple approaches are applied in pursuit of the limited insights which each can afford. I do not endorse any one of these idea as supplying an exclusive path to enlightenment: I absolutely do not advocate any single position. As a devout nonconformist, I hope that the following sections provide material, ammunition and succour to those undertaking nuanced anthropological analysis (and their kin in related disciplines). Mixing up or combining different ideas and approaches can produce results that, in their breadth and richness, are productive for anthropology and other social sciences, reflecting the endless complexities of real life. This is my response to the death of grand theory. I see our task as learning how to deal with that bereavement and how to resist the siren lures of those promising synoptic overviews.This book is relevant to anthropology, communication studies, cultural studies and sociology. Presenting 60 theoretical ideas, David Zeitlyn asks, How to write about anthropological theory without making a specific theoretical argument? and Is it possible to practice anthropology without arguing for a single specific approach? To answer, he gives a series of mini-essays about an eclectic collection of theoretical concepts that over many years he has found helpful.
