Stories of Culture and Place: An Introduction to Anthropology
BY MICHAEL G. KENNY AND KIRSTEN SMILLIE (BOTH AT SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY)
Fall 2014 7.5 x 9.25 paper 272 pp 978-1-4426-0794-1 US & CDN $39.95
Available as an ebook
This lively introduction to cultural anthropology is a textbook like no other.
Structured as a narrative rather than a compendium of facts about cultures and
concepts, it invites students to think of anthropology as a series of stories that
emerge from cultural encounters in particular times and places. These moments
of encounter are illustrated with reference to both classic and contemporary
ethnographic examples—from Shakespeare in the Bush to My Freshman Year
and from Coming of Age in Samoa to Coming of Age in Second Life—allowing
students to experience both the excitement and the limits of the discipline.
Chapters are organized thematically, each one beginning with an introduction
that sets the stage for telling stories (through ethnographic case studies and
examples) and then helps frame the stories in terms of their relevance to anthropology and society.
Key concepts, ideas, and methods pertinent to each theme are discussed, ensuring a solid coverage
of both content and methodology. Anthropological theorists and theories are also embedded in the
narrative, giving students insight into how theory can be put into practice. The result is a fresh approach
to anthropology that will help engross today’s students in the enduring strengths of the discipline.

of its ruminations about the discipline as theory and praxis.”

ANTHROPOLOGY
Although extensive literature
exists on the violence of war,
little attention has been given
to the ways in which this violence becomes entrenched
and normalized in the inner
recesses of everyday life.
In Afghanistan Remembers,
Parin Dossa examines Afghan
women’s recall of violence through memories
and food practices in their homeland and its
diaspora. Her work reveals how the suffering and
trauma of violence has been rendered socially
invisible following decades of life in a war-zone.
Dossa argues that it is necessary to acknowledge
the impact of violence on the familial lives of
Afghan women along with their attempts at
recovery under difficult circumstances. Informed
by Dossa’s own story of family migration and
loss, Afghanistan Remembers is a poignant
ethnographic account of the trauma of war. She
calls on the reader to recognize and bear witness
to the impact of deeper forms of violence.

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.

Culturing Bioscience: A Case Study

In the remote highlands
of the Georgian Republic,
a community of Khevsur
people once expressed
sexuality and romance in
ways that appeared to be
highly paradoxical. On the
one hand, these practices
were romantic, but could
never lead to marriage. On
the other hand, they were sexual, but didn’t
correspond to what North Americans, or most
other Georgians, would have called sex.
Culturing Bioscience 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. The author 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.
These Khevsur practices were well documented
by early ethnographers before they disappeared
completely by the mid-twentieth century, but
even after they had died out they became a
Georgian obsession, stoking the national imagination and leaving a long trail of poems, scandals,
novels, films, and internet chatter behind them.
In this fascinating ethnography—the newest addition to the Teaching Culture Series—
Manning recreates the story of how the private,
secretive practices of young people in a corner
of Georgia became a matter of national interest, concern, and fantasy. The result is an ethnography of language and desire that doubles
as an introduction to key linguistic genres and
to the interplay of language and culture.

“This ethnography is a beautifully written and

– 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.

“Barker’s book is beautifully organized, clearly
written, and each chapter fits snugly within the
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
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.

“White Lies about the Inuit is a

ethnography.”
– Nelson Graburn, University
of California Berkeley
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.

In Light of Africa explores
how the idea of Africa as

homeland, and a metaphor
for Black identity is used in
the cultural politics of the
Brazilian state of Bahia.
Available as an ebook
“A moving and masterful integration of
ethnography and oral tradition that illuminates
relationships between past and present not only
in Jie society but among all of the pastoralist
groups on the Karamoja Plateau. Mirzeler
captures with striking eloquence the essence of
‘being Jie.’”
– Sandra Gray, University of Kansas
In the book, Allan Charles
Dawson argues that Africa,
as both a symbol and a
geographical and historical place, is vital
to understanding the wide range of identities and ideas about racial consciousness that
exist in Bahia’s Afro-Brazilian communities.
RECENTLY PUBLISHED!
In his ethnographic research, Dawson follows
the idea of “Africa” from the city of Salvador
to the West African coast and back to the
hinterlands of the Bahian interior. Along the
way, he encounters West African entrepreneurs, Afrobeat musicians, devotees of the
Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé, professors of
the Yoruba language, and hardscrabble farmers and ranchers, all of whom engage with the
“idea” of Africa in their own personal way.

“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 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,
it shines a light on the lives
of ordinary individuals
and families.

demonstrates that links to the land remain strong

Detailing the history of the

Dimensions of Development
traces the “development”

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.

Beyond Bodies examines sensibilities about
gender through a fine-grained ethnography of
rainmaking rites. It considers the meaning of
ritual practices in a society in which gender is not
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.

From Equality to Inequality
examines the deterioration of the egalitarian society once enjoyed by the
Lanoh hunter-gatherers of
Peninsular Malaysia. It provides rich empirical data on
the factors within a community that significantly affect the
development of inequality,
including the effects of sedentism, integration,
leadership competition, self-aggrandizement,
marginalization, and feuding kinship groups.
“Richardson finds a way to literally guide the
reader through Odessa’s cobbled and storied
history in a manner that is ethnographically rich

In Kaleidoscopic Odessa,
Tanya Richardson explores
the tensions between local
and national identities in a
post-Soviet setting from the
point of view of everyday life.
Drawing on her participation
in history lessons, markets,
and walking groups, she
provides an exemplary
ethnographic portrait of a city where many
residents consider themselves separate and
distinct from the country in which they live.

This erudite and highly

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.

first arrived? This question
lurks behind every court

innovative reflection on the ambiguous ways in
which law constitutes its multiple and shifting

ultimate limits of public categories to capture,

introductory textbooks. The
second edition integrates
recent developments in
archaeology and includes a
new chapter on archaeology beyond mainstream
academia. It also draws
on a range of examples from popular culture

Designed as a supplement
to introductory texts in
archaeology, this reader
offers selections from
scholarly journals and
books as well as from
semi-scientific periodicals
and the popular press.
Readings were chosen
based on their potential
to stimulate student interest, to correlate with
core material taught in introductory courses,
and to introduce students to the diversity of
archaeological literature in all its major forms.
Topics in Reading Archaeology include the
archaeology of garbage, the marking of
nuclear waste sites, intellectual property
rights issues, historical archaeology
methods, and archaeological ethics.
Reading Archaeology pairs well with
Muckle’s core text, Introducing Archaeology,
which uses the same thematic organization, but can easily be used with any
other introductory archaeology text.
