Book SynopsisNarratology in Practice opens up the well-known theory of narrative to various disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Written as a companion to Mieke Bal’s international classic Narratology: Introduction to the Theory of Narrative, in which the examples focus almost exclusively on literary studies, this new book offers more elaborate analyses of visual media, especially visual art and film. Read independently or in parallel with its companion, Narratology in Practice enables readers to use the suggested concepts as tools to assist them in practising narrative analysis.

Book SynopsisThis book takes readers to the village of Sheltozero in northern Russia. It highlights a tiny community of indigenous people called Veps, known colloquially as the forest folk for their intense closeness and affiliation with the forests in their ancestral territories. Davidov uses a tour of the local museum to introduce a cast of human and non-human characters from traditional Vepsian culture, while journeying through various eras under Russian, Finnish, Soviet, and post-Soviet rule. In the process, she explores how contemporary political struggles mesh with traditional beliefs, illustrating how Veps make meaning of their history and unfolding future. A documentary entitled Museum Night is available for instructors who wish to incorporate it into their teaching. Trade Review"Long Night at the Vepsian Museum is an ethnography that documents the history and current cultural struggles of the Veps people, a Finno-Ugric speaking minority community that lives in Russia’s Karelia region, on the border with Finland." -- Samantha Lomb * EuropeNow *"Long Night at the Vepsian Museum, is a well-written and engaging contribution to the literature on Post-Soviet Russia and indigenous cultural production. Moreover, the book’s accessibility and clean prose will make it of interest to not only scholars of these fields, but also undergraduate educators looking for a snappy and thought-provoking syllabus addition." -- A. Lorraine Kaljund * EuropeNow *"By juxtaposing relations between Veps craftspeople and the czarist and soviet states with traditions of reciprocity with master spirits that ensured Karelia’s natural bounty, Davidov offers an altogether new paradigm for understanding Indegeneity in the modern world." -- E. J. Vajda * Choice Connect, June 2018 vol. 55 # 10 *"One of Davidov’s strengths lies in the place that she chose as a base for fieldwork: the local museum. Despite the idea that such institutions present only rigid, official discourses about real and lively cultures, what Davidov successfully reveals is that behind the facade of public exhibitions, there is an important vein of hidden and non-official cultural knowledge transfer and production taking place." -- Tatiana Safonova * Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute *"Long Night at the Vepsian Museum represents a solid analysis of Veps ‘resource biography’ which connects landscape, industry, and practices of remembering as intertwined local resources. This book would be particularly relevant for anthropology students due to the author’s valuable self-reflections on the nature of fieldwork and ‘collaborative ethnography.’" -- Anna Varfolomeeva, Tyumen State University * Anthropology of East Europe Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisBridging the gap between research and policy, this book provides new perspectives on the nature of hate crime victimisation and perpetration.Trade Review“At a time of heightened focus on `hate crimes’, renowned experts Chakraborti and Garland bring together an international array of commentators to make a persuasive case for restorative approaches to hate crime.

Book SynopsisChronicles the evolving narratives that linked whiteness with middle-class mobility and middle-class manhood. In doing so, Joseph Jewell addresses a key issue in the historical sociology of race: how racialized groups demarcate, defend, and alter social positions in overlapping hierarchies of race, class, and gender.Trade ReviewJewell's concise and accessible prose style achieves a rare feat – makingpotentially complex themes comprehensible without sacrificing any academic rigour . . . . A cautionary study on the way in which dominant cultures posses the power of narrative-creation in ways that can exclude minority groups from social and economic mobility. Jewell's book also vividly demonstrates how such attitudes and approaches end up creating boundaries that restrict social change, and reinforce the dominance of one group at the expense of others – a pattern that can have consequences generations into the future."—Ethnic & Racial Studies

Book SynopsisIn the sprawling city of Sao Paulo, a weekly practice known as devotion to souls (devocao as almas) draws devotees to Catholic churches, cemeteries, and other sites associated with tragic or unjust deaths. The living pray and light candles for the souls of the dead, remembering events and circumstances in a rite of collective suffering. Yet contemporary devotion to souls is not confined to Catholic adherents or fixed to specific locations. The practice is also linked to popular tours of haunted sites in the city, and it moves within an urban environment routinely marked by violence and death. While based in Catholic traditions, devotion to souls is as complex and multifaceted as religion itself in Brazil, where African, Portuguese, and other cultural forms have blended and evolved over centuries. Michael Amoruso's insightful work uses the methods of ethnography, religious studies, and urban studies to consider how devotion to souls embodies, adapts, and challenges conventional ideas of religion as tethered to specific sites and practices. Examining devotees' varied ways of ascribing meaning to their actions, Amoruso argues that devotion to souls acts as form of what he calls "mnemonic repair," tying the living to the dead in a struggle against the forces of forgetting.
