Taylor & Francis Ltd The Performance of Gender An Anthropology Of
Book SynopsisThe Performance of Gender presents a vivid description of everyday life in order to explore the concept of performance for an anthropology of gender. A detailed and evocotive account of the lives of men and women in a South Indian fishing community reveals new ways of framing gender relations, the body and kinship. The ethnographic account is set within the context of social and cultural theory, notably the ideas of Judith Butler, Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault. The study sheds new light on the ways in which gender is understood as both performative, that is enacted through everyday practices, and also substantial and embodied, that is marked out in the separate sexual fluids and procreative capacities of husbands and wives.Table of ContentsCONTENTS List of Figures vii Acknowledgements ix Preface xiii Introduction 1 Part I: The Marking of Difference 1 Men and boys: the lives of the fishermen 27 2 Women, money and markets 53 3 Gender, body and the tracing of relatedness 72 Part II: The Merging of Difference 4 Becoming husband and wife 91 5 Loans and goods: flows and exchanges between households 113 6 Eating from one plate: gender, exchange and spouses 149 Part III: Disputes and Negotiations 7 Gender and money: the saving and spending of household wealth 177 8 Conflict and Violence 195 9 Conclusions 215 Notes 232 Bibliography 245 Index 253

Taylor & Francis Ltd Building Resilience of Floating Children and
Book SynopsisThe past two decades have seen exponential growth of urbanisation and migration in China. Emerging from this growth is a population of floating and left-behind children which is estimated to be approaching 100 million. Due to their increasing risks of undesirable educational and social, as well as health and psychological, outcomes, there is a great urgency to help floating children and left-behind children beat the odds. This book offers an analysis of how oscillations of government discourse have come to shape central and local educational policies regarding the schooling of these children. It also delves into child and youth resilience in this unique migration context, examining what can be done to build up resilience of floating and left-behind children. In this vein, the book will complement current knowledge and advance context- and culture-specific understandings of child and youth resilience through both school-based and community-based approaches. The book aims to answer a Table of Contents1. Floating children and left-behind children in a migration context: Policy, power, and participation 2. Conceptualising resilience: Foundational work and paradigmatic shift 3. Measuring resilience: Methodological conundrum and measurement invariance 4. Resilience as a classed socialisation: An intergenerational project 5. School-based approach to resilience: The magic of physical activity 6. Community-based approach to resilience: Peer relations and significant others 7. Transforming vulnerabilities into opportunities: An ecological model 8. Building resilience of floating children and left-behind children: Empirical lessons and sociological implications

Taylor & Francis Ltd Renegotiating Rural Development in Ireland
Book SynopsisThis title was first published in 2002: As rural Ireland undergoes deep-reaching changes, this book critically assesses what the author terms the renegotiation of rural development in Ireland through the repackaging, reproduction and representation of suggestions, ideas and alternatives for rural renewal. Deconstructing the process and practice of rural development in Ireland, John McDonagh explores the new approaches to development and the so-called desire for creating integrative policy and planning approaches. The main conduits for this investigation are those of partnership and community groups and their involvement in rural development issues. Further, through investigation of the relevant concepts and theories of rural change, the volume delves into the discourses of rurality and development and utilizes the diversity of approaches and understanding of, this increasingly complex issue.Table of ContentsRural change and development; a plurality of Irelands - changing discourses of economy, society and space; thoughts on rurality and rural Ireland; deconstructing development - Irish style!; retrospect and prospect - the role of church, state and community in rural Ireland; the emergence of rural governance in Ireland; recasting the rural in Ireland.

Alfred A. Knopf Cheap Land Colorado
Book Synopsis From Pulitzer Prize finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author of Newjack, a passage through an America lived wild and off the grid, where along with independence and stunning views come fierce winds, neighbors with criminal pasts, and minimal government and medical services.“In these dispatches, [Conover] invites readers to ride shotgun along an unraveling edge of the American West, where sepia-toned myths about making a fresh start collide with modern modes of alienation, volatility, and exile.... In a nation whose edges have come to define its center, this is essential reading.”—Jessica Bruder, author of Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century In May 2017, Ted Conover went to Colorado to explore firsthand a rural way of life that is about living cheaply, on your own land—and keeping clear of the mainstream. The failed subdivisions of the enormous San Luis Valley make this possibl

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group Wastelands
Book SynopsisBeautifully written, impeccably researched, and told with the air of suspense that few writers can handle, Wastelands is a story I wish I had written. —From the Foreword by John Grisham The once idyllic coastal plain of North Carolina is home to a close-knit, rural community that for more than a generation has battled the polluting practices of large-scale farming taking place in its own backyard. After years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, filed a lawsuit against one of the world’s most powerful companies—and, miraculously, they won. As vivid and fast-paced as a thriller, Wastelands takes us into the heart of a legal battle over the future of America’s farmland and into the lives of the people who found the courage to fight.There is Elsie Herring, the most outspoken of the neighbors, who has endured racial slurs and th

Johns Hopkins University Press The Rural Landscape
Book SynopsisCarrying the story of the rural landscape into our frantic era, he describes the bow wavewhere city life meets rural agriculture and plots the effect of recreation and its structures on the look of the land.Trade ReviewJohn Fraser Hart's study of the ever-changing rural landscape is a competent and richly illustrated account of human endeavour, charting patterns of land use across time and space, from the small cross-ploughed fields of Neolithic Britain to the vast wheat-producing plains of modern-day America. It reveals how history is continuously incorporated into the landscape. Times Literary Supplement Hart has a keen eye, a facile pen, and a love for conversation with people who live and work in such places. The result is an admirable and wide-ranging book.
