Taylor & Francis Heritage Indigenous Doing and Wellbeing
Heritage, Indigenous Doing and Wellbeing presents an Aboriginal Australian relational understanding of the world that offers a counter-narrative to the Western notion of heritage and new insights into the potential for sustaining the complex systems that support all life.From an Indigenous Australian perspective, the Western concept of heritage is intentionally exclusionary and supports social, political, economic, and environmental injustice. Aboriginal People engage with landscape every day in entirely, different ways, seeing Country as a living âheritageâ, but in a unique relationship form that engages the individual with place, ancestors, language, and wellbeing. However, Country is most often relegated by heritage proponents to âintangible heritageâ, and this results in the concept having little legislative, legal, or administrative weight. Drawing on a common understanding of Country as sacred, living, and sentient, rather than as objectifi

Taylor & Francis Ltd Arts and Culture in Global Development Practice
Book SynopsisThis book explores the role that arts and culture can play in supporting global international development. The book argues that arts and culture are fundamental to human development and can bring considerable positive results for helping to empower communities and provide new ways of looking at social transformation. Whilst most literature addresses culture in abstract terms, this book focuses on practice-based, collective, community-focused, sustainability-minded, and capacity-building examples of arts and development. The book draws on case studies from around the world, investigating the different ways practitioners are imagining or defining the role of arts and culture in Belize, Canada, China, Ethiopia, Guatemala, India, Kosovo, Malawi, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, the USA, and Western Sahara refugee camps in Algeria. The book highlights the importance of situated practice, asking what questions or concerns practitioners have and inviting a diTrade Review"A timely book containing an outstanding collection of essays on the debate around global practice-based arts and culture; an essential collection of thought-provoking accounts rooted in practice and community engagement. If you are interested in the different ways arts professionals are rethinking the role of arts and culture practice, this is one for your bookshelf."Glen Coutts, Professor, Applied Arts Education, University of Lapland, Finland, President, International Society For Education through Art"Despite pleas to " give voice to the voiceless", many voices remain unheard. This is not just because no one is listening, but because their expression may not take verbal form, but may emerge through, or be facilitated by, art. This comprehensive book gives this recognition central place, and it's fascinating essays show the truly transformative power of the arts when applied to shaping genuinely humane and holistic development."John Clammer, Jindal School of Liberal Arts and Humanities"A showcase of compelling stories about transformation, empowerment, community building, and creative placemaking… Arts and Culture in Global Development Practice: Expression, Identity and Empowerment is a must-read for those who want to increase their knowledge about community development, global arts, and creative praxis in various social, cultural, and political contexts."Wanda B.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contours of South Asian Social Anthropology
Book SynopsisThis book presents a conceptual and methodological framework to understand South Asia by engaging with the practices of sociology and social anthropology in India and Nepal. It provides a new imagination of South Asia by connecting historical, political, religious and cultural divides of the region. Drawing from the experiences of Indian and Nepali social anthropology, the book discusses the presence of Nepal studies in Indian social anthropology and vice versa. It highlights Nepal or South Asia as a subject for social anthropological research and stresses on pluriversal knowledge production through regional scholarship, dialogic social anthropology, South Asian episteme, post-Western social anthropology and the decolonisation of disciplines. In exploring the themes and problems of doing social anthropology in Nepal by Indian scholars, the book assesses the scope of developing the South Asian social anthropological worldview. It explains why social anthropological and sociological iTrade Review‘Contours of South Asian Social Anthropology aims to invent conceptual and methodological frameworks to study South Asian Social Anthropology and Sociology (SAS) and views this attempt as academic decolonization and the construction of “epistemic South Asia” as a framework to study South Asian SAS. This book may contribute to shape South Asian SAS as a distinct branch of the disciplines and encourage scholars to build up cooperation and work in collaboration in order to advance South Asian SAS. Proposing a new perspective in studying South Asian SAS, the author aims to free the disciplines from the domination of western conceptual and methodological frameworks. The book will be of interest to scholars working on national SAS in the nations in South Asia and also to students and teachers at graduate and postgraduate levels.’Laxman Ghimire, Independent researcher; former faculty member, Central Department of Linguistics, Tribhuvan University, Nepal; and former independent researcher, UNESCO, Bangkok‘Can there be a Nepali, Pakistani, Indian or South Asian Sociology and social science? Should Sociology and social science serve nation building and legitimize indigeneity? Inasmuch as knowledge is a social and historical product, is not “Western” Sociology today hiding its provincialism and masquerading itself as “universal” Sociology? Or does a better future for Sociology and social science lie in a search for a much more plural, layered and woven together fabric made up of “local” and large scale and long run social relations and structures? Swatahsiddha Sarkar extends an invitation to social scientists to revisit and dive deeper into these consequential issues and to come up with a better answer than is now available.’Chaitanya Mishra, Professor of Sociology, MPhil/PhD Program, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal‘This work makes a contribution to the long-standing critique of Eurocentric sociology and the debates around the possibility of a uniquely South Asian discipline. Swatahsiddha Sarkar engages with these debates from the vantage point of sociology in Nepal. Apart from detailing the various initiatives taken by academic institutions in India to engage in cross country research he also describes the experiences of Nepali scholars as students of the subject in Indian universities and as teachers and researchers in universities in Nepal. While there are several scholars who have engaged with the project of building regional traditions in sociology and chronicling the histories of such traditions particularly in India the significance of Sarkar’s study lies in its wealth of empirical detail. I am sure the book will find a place in university curricula in South Asia.’Roma Chatterji, former Professor of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, India‘This important book puts South Asia on the map of world sociology and anthropology, not just as a geographical site but an entity with a common episteme and common concerns that have something unique to say to the disciplines. It prods us to think of the academic practices (conferences, texts) through how we bring (or don’t bring) spaces like South Asia into being, and how South Asia has for too long been the victim of a geopolitical imaginary to the exclusion of other facets like culture, ecology and habitation. Tragically, we learn about our neighbours only through the West. Although the book is focused on India and Nepal, its call for a revitalized and reimagined sociology and anthropology of South Asia must become a rallying point for South Asian academics across the region.’ Nandini Sundar, Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Delhi, IndiaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd AfricanCaribbean Women Interrogating
Book SynopsisThis anthology originated as papers presented at a conference held in London, July 2018, entitled Caribbean Women (Post) Diaspora: African-Caribbean Interconnections. The chapters focus on issues of women's agency and on the potential for transformation produced by the experience of migration and the networks and communities fashioned by African-Caribbean women in diasporic spaces. They cover a range of disciplines including the study of visual art, auto-ethnographic analysis, in addition to socio-cultural and literary analyses. The work included in this anthology inserts, as central to its focus, considerations of gender and specifically the experiences of women in processes of migration, community formation and resistance. In its focus on concepts of diaspora and post-diaspora, the book investigates the potential of these theoretical terms to address the complexity of the diasporic experience. Concepts of post-diaspora have emerged in recent scholarship as a respTable of Contents1. African-Caribbean women interrogating diaspora/post-diaspora 2.
