Taylor & Francis Ltd Ethnographic Explorations
Book SynopsisIn Ethnographic Explorations: Surrender and Resistance, Whitaker and Atkinson, two experienced ethnographers, explore the complexities of fieldwork, analysis and writing from new perspectives. It takes the opportunity to reflect on Ethnography not just as a methodological perspective, but at a fundamental level.In general terms, Ethnography is seen not just in terms of a set of data-collection methods, but as a more profoundly transformational perspective. The book explores a series of tensions and differences in the conceptualisation and conduct of ethnography, among them: Surrender and Catch; Strangeness and Familiarity; Intimacy and Distance; amd Romanticism and Modernism. It emphasises disruptions and interruptions rather than an idealised model of smoothly untroubled research. The book covers a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, illustrated with research in many social settings.The book is intended for researchers at Table of Contents1. Commitments and the Field 2. Ethnography in Tension 3. Ethnography's Desire 4. Interrupted Lives and Ethnographic Moments 5. Ethnography Incarnate 6. Failed Modernism? Writing and the Grain of Everyday Life 7. The Catch and the Collector 8.Epilogue

Taylor & Francis Chinas Rise and the Chinese Overseas
Book SynopsisSince the 1978 opening up of China and her active engagement in economic reformation and modernization, China has become a truly global economic power. These developments have, consequently, had an impact on ethnic Chinese people living across the world. Traditionally, the study of immigrant communities has focused on internal factors, such as the leadership and social organization of the actors inside the communities. This book, however, turns attention to the exogenous factors, which have helped shape the lives of the Chinese diaspora. In doing so, it provides a valuable contribution to the recent literature, which focuses on the effect of globalisation on the Chinese overseas. Using a number of empirical case studies, including the San Francisco Bay, Canada, South Africa and Hungary, it provides an investigation into how Chinaâs contemporary position in the world has affected the identity of the various locales of the Chinese in different continents. Whilst demonstrating tTable of ContentsIntroduction: Contemporary China’s Rise and the Chinese Overseas1. The Rise of China and Its Impact in the San Francisco Bay Area2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cultural Anthropology Global Forces Local Lives
Book SynopsisCultural Anthropology: Global Forces, Local Lives is an exceptionally clear and readable introduction that helps students understand the application of anthropological concepts to the contemporary world and everyday life. It provides thorough treatment of key subjects such as colonialism and post-colonialism, ethnicity, the environment, cultural change, economic development, and globalization. This fourth edition has a fresh thematic focus on the future, with material relating to planning, decision-making, design and invention, hope, and waiting. More space is devoted to contemporary topics, and there is new coverage of subjects ranging from white nationalism, right-wing populism, and natural disasters to surgical training, hacker conferences, and the gig economy. Each chapter contains a rich variety of case studies that have been updated throughout.The book includes a number of features to support student learning, including:Trade ReviewPraise for previous editions"Cultural Anthropology stands apart from other textbooks and is a truly unique option for introductory anthropology classes. Eller’s use of language is concise and accessible to the entry-level student. More importantly, the text offers a refreshingly clear focus on the relationship between culture, power and the central social issues of the world." Andrew Nelson, University of North Texas, USA "I have repeatedly returned to Eller for his ability to make difficult subjects accessible without condescension or dilution. This very good introduction is well written and hits all the marks of four field anthropology (and beyond) while never losing the important focus of culture and the human experience." Anjana Mebane-Cruz, Farmingdale State College, SUNY, USA "I would definitely recommend this text to students … it is simply excellent" Peter Collins, Durham University, UK "This textbook will undoubtedly prove invaluable to anthropology students, orientating them into the extensive world of contemporary anthropology. Of particular note is the clarity with which anthropology is presented as offering indispensable insights into the globalized world, whilst not shying away from addressing global political and economic concerns." Hannah Rumble, University of Exeter, UK "Finally, an introductory textbook with real substance. Eller’s thoughtful account takes his readers seriously, providing them with a no-nonsense rendition of cultural anthropology, both past and present. This book does true justice to our discipline." John T. Friedman, University College Roosevelt Academy/Utrecht University, the Netherlands Table of Contents1. UNDERSTANDING ANTHROPOLOGY; 2. UNDERSTANDING AND STUDYING CULTURE; 3.
