Available as an ebook
“This is one of the most intelligent and engaging introductory anthropology texts
available. It is pithy and covers all of the critical areas one would expect in an
introductory class. The text itself, rich with ethnographic examples, will certainly
inspire classroom debates, and discussion questions and classroom activity
suggestions are well formulated, encouraging students to get their hands dirty as
they wrangle with the issues themselves.” – Liesl L. Gambold, Dalhousie University
“Introductory students will love it!” – Todd Sanders, University of Toronto
Anthropology Matters places the study of anthropology concretely in the world by
which it is surrounded. It takes a question-based approach to introducing important anthropological concepts by embedding those concepts in contemporary global issues that will interest students.
The second edition of this popular text has been updated throughout and includes four new chapters on
language revitalization, social media and social revolutions, human migration, and the role of NGOs in
international development practice. Students can now engage with the most up-to-date issues while
learning to think anthropologically.

US & CDN $26.95
Available as an ebook
“A real page turner. Kane has turned her first
fieldwork experience into an engaging ‘Margaret
Mead meets Tony Hillerman’ narrative, with vivid
characters, many tricksters, and even a mysterious
death.”
– Louise Lamphere, University of New Mexico
“Trickster should become essential reading for
young anthropologists, if only because of its
ruminations about the discipline as theory
and praxis.”
– Michael Hittman, Long Island University
“Richly textured, beautifully written, moving, and
hilarious—precisely the kind of yarn that grabs
and holds the attention of students and seasoned
anthropologists alike.”
– Liam D. Murphy, California State
University, Sacramento
A young trainee anthropologist leaves her violent Mafiarun hometown—Youngstown,
Ohio—to study an “exotic”
group, the Paiute Indians of
Nevada. This is 1964; she’ll
be “the expert,” and they’ll
be “the subjects.” The Paiute
elders have other ideas.
They’ll be “the parents.”
They set themselves two tasks: to help her get
a good grade on her project and to send her
home quickly to her new bridegroom. They
dismiss her research topic and introduce her
instead to their spirit creature, the outrageously
mischievous rule-breaking trickster, Coyote.
Why do the Paiutes love Coyote? Why do
Youngstown mill workers vote for Mafia
candidates for municipal office? Tricksters
become key to understanding how oppressed
groups function in a hostile world.

discussion of the origins and
evolution of anthropology is augmented by
sections addressing changes and ongoing
questions in the field.
The second edition incorporates important
new material on questions of culture versus
power, Max Weber’s thought, the potential
of applied anthropology, and the rise of
public anthropology, while briefly touching
on the anthropology of globalization.

How has the “business” of
higher education affected the
environment in which academics work? Who should be able
to hold anthropologists ethically responsible—the research
institution that sponsors the
fieldwork or the community
of people being studied? What
happens when academics step
out of the ivory tower and into the public realm?
These are some of the questions posed in this
innovative and insightful collection of essays.

Eating Culture offers a highly engaging overview of how anthropologists
understand food. It draws on a wide variety of food examples from different
ethnic groups, times, and social contexts, while acknowledging the scholarship
of anthropologists working in the field. The book follows a thematic approach
that brings order and insight into our changing relationship with food.
Organized around the sometimes elusive concept of cuisine and the public discourse (on gastronomy, nutrition, sustainability, and culinary skills) that surrounds
it, and filled with rich examples of various food practices, Eating Culture acts as a
practical guide to anthropological method and theory that allows students to
understand their own cuisines and cultures.

Culturing bioscience:
A Case Study in the Anthropology
of Science
Made in Madagascar: Sapphires,

Culturing Bioscience—the newest addition to the Teaching
Culture Series—is an accessible case study that looks at
the role bioscience plays both
in the academy and within
broader society. The book
focuses on the scientific community at a biomedical facility
situated on a North American
university campus, offering a fascinating glimpse
into scientific culture and the social and political context in which that culture operates.
Available as an ebook
“Made in Madagascar is a beautiful and timely
ethnography that addresses some of the most
important questions in contemporary
anthropology.” – Paige West, Barnard College
and Columbia University
Nesting the discussion of scientific culture within
a series of “levels,” the ethnography explores a
number of topics: the social impact of technology
and the way researchers interact with sophisticated equipment; what scientists actually do in a
laboratory; the role science plays in the contemporary university; and the way bioscience interacts with local, regional, and global governments.
ContEntS:
Introduction
1. Intra-Action and doing Science: Experiments, People, and
Technology
Investigating neuroscience
Electrophysiology and Whole Cell Patch Clamping
2. re-visioning Scientific Practice
vision: From Co-operation to Collaboration
Structure and Practice, or, Space… the Final Frontier?
3. What Can You do In, To, and With a University?
Anthropology and the Call to “Study Up”
Fieldwork in the Academy and the Ethics of Ethics
The University in Transformation
4. Science and/as development
Policy: The Triple Helix
Culturing bioscience on Prince Edward Island
5. globalizing bioscience and/as biocapital
bioscience, biocapital, and business Clusters
This beautifully written ethnography invites students into
the worlds of Madagascar and
participant observation, gradually building their knowledge
and confidence in the subject
matter while simultaneously
challenging and deepening
their critical thinking skills.
An introductory chapter allows students and
instructors to take a more active approach
to their reading by accessing an online
version of the chapter and using hyperlinks
to learn more about Madagascar (and the
limits of Google). Issues of globalization, the
environment, and economic exchange are all
explored in a way that introduces students
to the unique strengths of ethnography as a
method and anthropology as a discipline.

“Barker’s book is beautifully organized, clearly

confines of a basic topic included on all
introductory syllabi. Barker has produced a book
that will neither talk down to nor bore students.”
– Joel Robbins, University of California, San Diego
Available as an ebook
“This ethnography is a beautifully written and
carefully crafted analysis of children’s sports. It
will provide essential reading in undergraduate
courses.”
– Caroline Knowles, University of London
Bridging anthropology, sport
studies, and childhood studies,
Fields of Play offers a rich
understanding of an area
that has, to date, gained
relatively little attention by
social scientists. Based on
nearly two decades of
ethnographic field research
into the dynamics of
community sports activities, it provides an
anthropologically informed account of how those
involved in children’s sports—boys and girls,
parents, coaches, and sports officials—shape
these complex, vibrant fields of play.
Using the various stages of
tapa cloth production to frame
a broader discussion of changes
and continuities in Maisin culture, Barker offers a nuanced
understanding of how the
Maisin came to reject commercial logging on their traditional
lands. The book highlights the
improvisations and compromises that have allowed the Maisin to remain true
to core ancestral values while participating in
wider social, political, and economic systems.
Ancestral Lines provides an important counterpoint to the stereotype of Indigenous peoples as
passive victims of impersonal global forces.

Touching on many concepts that are fundamental to anthropology—culture, identity, kinship,
work, political economy, and globalization—and
filled with personal stories and warmth, this
ethnography will be a welcome teaching tool
for instructors and an enticing read for students.
This lively book, designed
specifically for introductory students, unpacks three
of the “white lies” about the Inuit: the myth
that there are fifty-two words for snow, the
belief that there are blond, blue-eyed Inuit descended from the Vikings, and the notion that
the Inuit send their elders to die on ice floes.

Truth and Indignation offers
the first close and critical
assessment of a Truth and
Reconciliation Commission
(TRC) as it is unfolding.
Using interviews with survivors and oblate priests
and nuns, as well as testimonies, texts, and visual
materials produced by the
Commission, Niezen raises some very important
questions: What makes Canada’s TRC different
than others around the world? What kinds of
narratives are emerging and what do they mean
for reconciliation, justice, and conceptions of
traumatic memory? And what happens to the
ultimate goal of reconciliation when a large
part of the testimony—that of nuns, priests, and
government officials—is scarcely evident?
Thoughtful, provocative, and uncompromising,
Niezen offers an important contribution to our
understanding of the TRC process in general,
and the Canadian experience in particular.

“This book makes a significant and important contribution to the anthropology
of history and collective memory. In moving prose, the author provides a deeply
insightful portrayal.” – Donald M. Nonini, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
This ethnography tells the story of the Hakka Chinese in Sarawak, Malaysia,
who were targeted as communists or communist sympathizers in the 1960s
and 1970s because of their Chinese ethnicity. Thousands of these rural Hakkas
were relocated into “new villages” or detained at correction centres, where
incarcerated people were understood to be “sacrificial gifts” to the war on
communism. Using methodologies of narrative theory and exchange theory,
The Hakkas of Sarawak looks at how these incarcerated people struggled
for survival and dealt with their defeat over the course of a generation.

BY NATACHA GAGNÉ (UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA)
2013 6x9 paper 368pp 978-1-4426-1413-0 US & CDN $32.95
“Being Mãori in the City is a serious advance in state-of-the-art research. Combining
the intimacy of long-term participatory research with the relative objectivity of an
informed, well-trained anthropologist, Gagné proves that this classic anthropological
approach is the discipline at its best.” – Eleanor Rimoldi, Massey University
Being Mãori in the City is based on two years of fieldwork, living with Mãori families,
and more than 250 hours of interviews. In contrast with studies that have focused
on Indigenous elites and official groups and organizations, Being Mãori in the City
shines a light on the lives of ordinary individuals and families. Using this approach,
Natacha Gagné adroitly underlines how Indigenous ways of being are maintained
and even strengthened through change and openness to the larger society.

“McIlwraith’s review of
Iskut history and hunting
demonstrates that links to
the land remain strong and
powerful despite nearly a
half century of disruption.
The short conversations
about hunting show
that for contemporary
Iskut, hunting and wage
labour are not incompatible.” – BC Studies
Detailing the history of the aboriginal village of
Iskut, British Columbia over the past 100 years,
this ethnography examines the community’s transition from subsistence hunting to wage work in
trapping, guiding, construction, and service jobs.
Using naturally occurring, extended transcripts
of stories told by the group’s hunters, Thomas
McIlwraith explores how Iskut hunting culture
and the memories that the Iskut share have
been maintained orally. He demonstrates
the ways in which these stories challenge the
idealized images of Aboriginals that underlie state-sponsored traditional ecological
knowledge (TEK) studies. He also illuminates
the complex relationships of the Iskut with
resource extraction companies and the province of British Columbia, as well as their interactions with animals and the environment.
The first book-length examination of responses to the war
and independence of Croatia
in the North American diaspora, We Are Now a Nation
highlights the contradictions
and paradoxes of contemporary debates about identity,
politics, and place. Drawing on
extensive, multi-sited ethnographic research in both Toronto and Croatia,
the author confronts complex questions of ideology, nostalgia, social suffering, nationalism, and
identity politics as manifested in the relationship between diaspora and homeland Croats.

“Sanders has built an

Available as an ebook
Dimensions of Development
traces the “development”
of Allpachico, a village in the
Peruvian central highlands.
It examines four aid projects
in the area, each following
distinct international trends,
between 1984 and 2008
within the context of wider
state and global political
and economic systems.
A unique historical ethnography, Dimensions
of Development illustrates how state and NGO
projects have drawn Allpachiqueños deeper into
capitalism and have brought about challenges to
the local political structure. While highlighting
the continual reorganization of the local population into new groups, Vincent also reveals why
past forms of representation are still preferred.
From Equality to Inequality:

Beyond Bodies examines sensibilities about

as bound to the body as it is in the Euro-American
imagination.
Engaging with anthropological and gender
theory, this book crucially calls into question how
social scientists have explained gender symbolism
in myriad ethnographic and historical studies
across Africa.

Based on fieldwork in the
town of Ladnun, Rajasthan,
India, among a community of Terapanthi Svetambar
Jains, this book explores the
many facets of what constitutes a moral life within the
Terapanthi ascetic community and examines the central
role ascetics play in upholding the Jain moral order.
This erudite and highly
articulate work is about the
knowledge of Aboriginal
mental health: who generates it, how it is communicated, and its implications
for Aboriginal peoples. The
author undertakes an extensive examination of three
disciplines—anthropology,
psychology, and psychiatry—and reveals how,
together, they have constructed a gravely distorted portrait of Aboriginal mental health.

Using interdisciplinary methods, the author critically assesses the enormous amount of information that has been generated on Aboriginal mental health, deconstructs it, and through this exercise, provides guidance for a new vein of research.

‘Being Alive Well’ is a critical
medical anthropological
analysis of health theory in the
social sciences with specific reference to the James Bay Cree
of northern Quebec. The core
of the book is a study of the
Cree concept of “health” and
how it is mediated by history,
cultural practices, and the contemporary world of the Cree.
This classic ethnography
describes the remarkable
volume, velocity, energy, and
elaborateness of the world
of female socializing in the
Islamic Middle East. Highly
readable and accessible to
a wide audience, Meneley’s
study incorporates vignettes
to illustrate her more analytical points and to enliven the text, allowing
the reader to enter fully into the rich world of
Middle Eastern women. This work touches on
many issues of current and enduring importance to anthropology and to women’s studies.
