What would anthropology look like if the South were our North? This book turns the map upside down and calls for transforming anthropology from a singular to a plural perspective, which recognizes the Global South as a site of original theory and research rather than merely a source of information.The book acknowledges the structure of racialized and gendered inequalities within which ethnographic research has historically been, and continues to be, conducted, and recognizes the hierarchies created in the West regarding non-Western anthropologists. The authors in this book offer fresh and accessible reflections on their anthropological journeys in the Global South, North, and the worlds in between. They share their ethnographic insights and personal stories to answer the question of why anthropology still needs the Global South.Why Anthropology Needs the Global South is an essential read for anthropology students, professionals and teachers, as well as for anyone seeking a compass for navigating the contemporary world.

Mongolian Healing: Knowledge, Transmission, and Practice Across Inner Asia explores the rich and diverse medicinal healing practices by Mongolian communities across Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, and Kalmykia.This edited volume brings together scholars from various disciplines to examine knowledge systems and practises related to healing therapies, including nomadic healing, ritual practices including dom and shamanic healing, water as a source for healing in the landscape, and the art of Mongolian bonesetting. The second part of the book delves into the institutionalization of Mongolian medicine across Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, tracing its adaptation and its continuing presence in both urban and rural contexts, within contemporary healthcare systems, such as the hospital, laboratory and clinic. Through a Mongolian-oriented lens, this volume sheds light on the resilience and adaptability of Mongolian healing and medical traditions in the face of social, political, and cultural transformations across history. Combining historical, anthropological, and medical perspectives, it offers the first comprehensive account of how these practices have continued to thrive and adapt, bridging ancient knowledge with contemporary applications.As a part of broader Asian medical traditions, this volume is an essential resource for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the dynamic interplay of ancient wisdom and ongoing innovation across Inner Asia.

A provocative analysis of the deadly Cold War conflicts that devastated countries and communities far from Moscow and Washington Transforming battlegrounds in Africa, Asia, and Latin America into veritable hellscapes, the surrogate wars of the Cold War era left behind a legacy of collective trauma and social conflict that have persisted into the present. In this ambitious work, Alfred W. McCoy uses a bottom-up, outside-in approach to offer an unexpected new perspective on the longest, most consequential conflict in modern history. McCoy renders an intimate portrait of both embattled covert operatives and committed antiwar protesters, thus humanizing the history of the Cold War-a history that has too often been told in impersonal terms of economic growth, nuclear arsenals, or diplomatic ententes. As today's great powers devote humanity's scarce resources toward ratcheting up a "new cold war" in the face of a worsening climate crisis, McCoy's history is an important reminder that otherwise- ordinary individuals once helped end a global conflict that threatened nuclear holocaust.
