Nitzke, Solvejg, Making Kin with Trees: A Cultural Poetics of Interspecies Care. (Palgrave Studies in Mediating Kinship, Representation, and Difference) 259 pp. 2025:9 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <754-904>
ISBN 978-3-031-96800-6 hard ¥32,171.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book analyzes how trees act as mediators of interspecies relationships in popular science writing and creative nonfiction. Making Kin with Trees argues that trees emerge as agents of "arboreal poetics" shaping not only fictional but also material interactions. Following how speculative care practices infuse scientific and poetic texts, formatting practices of reading, sensing, knowing, and communicating (with) trees while affirming both cultural and scientific meaning making processes. This book shows how arboreal thinking connects and might ultimately require breaking down the barrier between fact and fiction, human and plant, onlooker and artwork. This book will be of interest to audiences based in fields including environmental humanities, science and technology studies and ecocriticism, and everyone engaged in science communication and interested in the relationship between scientific fact and narrative.

〔英訳〕利他主義、贈与、象徴交換-コントからデュルケーム、モース、ブルデューまで
Steiner, Philippe, Altruism, Gifts and Symbolic Exchange: From Comte, to Durkheim, Mauss and Bourdieu. Tr. by P. Hamilton. (Theory Workshop 4) 245 pp. 2025:9 (Brill, NE) <754-947>
ISBN 978-90-04-42246-9 hard ¥56,925.- (税込) EUR 230.00

Altruism, gifts and symbolic exchange refer to a vast set of practices deeply embedded in our market societies. They were successively theorized by Auguste Comte, Marcel Mauss, and Pierre Bourdieu. This book follows the outline of a history that has hitherto been glimpsed only as a series of fragments and which needs to be reassembled in order to see its full scope. This history is structured in terms of three stages: a critique of political economy, a theoretical construction backed by empirical practices, and, finally, an assessment of the social effects of the dissemination of economic knowledge.

Jarosz, Katarzyna, Museums in Central Asia and the Construction of National Narratives: Curating Identity. 240 pp. 2025:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <754-802>
ISBN 978-3-031-97046-7 hard ¥32,171.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book explores the role museums play in shaping the cultural and historical identities of Central Asia. Through an analysis of around 50 museums, this book offers insights into how these "memory machines" contribute to contemporary identity formation in Central Asia, serving as both cultural guardians and storytellers. It traces the development of these institutions from the Russian colonial era to the present, examining how they have navigated the region's complex socio-political landscape. The book addresses various themes, such as the influence of Soviet policies on museum development, the relationship between religion and atheism in museum narratives, and the renewed interest in pre-Soviet cultural heritage. It also considers how museums utilise historical figures and scientific achievements to craft national stories, exploring identity through the dual perspectives of settled and nomadic lifestyles.

ハラッパー文明ハンドブック
Prabhakar, V. N., Handbook of Harappan Civilization: Recent Insights and Discoveries. 481 pp. 2025:9 (Springer, GW) <754-818>
ISBN 978-981-9686-34-6 hard ¥54,446.- (税込) EUR 219.99

This handbook provides an in-depth finding on the Harappan Civilization (~Indus Civilization, Sarasvati-Sindhi, Sindhu-Sarasvati Civilization) that flourished from ~2600-1900 BCE in the Greater Indus Region. It presents the emerging perspectives of the Harappan Civilization and includes the results from the recent excavations in South Asian sites. The book begins with the evidence on settled human life, the factors that led to the domestication of plants and animals, and the cumulative effect on the triggering of urban processes. It highlights the evidence of the emergence of towns and villages, aided by the technology of copper and trade, in different parts of the Greater Indus Region, ultimately culminating in the Harappan Civilization. It illustrates the hallmark features of the Harappan Civilization and recent findings. It updates the latest knowledge on topics like the script and the people, the ultimate transformation into a rural culture again, mainly due to climatic changes. It presents the scientific techniques and methodologies employed in investigating the past, particularly the Harappan Civilization. It enables the students to pursue similar lines of research in the ever-growing field of applying sciences in archaeology. The richly illustrated book with maps and photographs assists researchers and scholars in understanding the archaeological facts and information related to the Harappan Civilization.

Klaufus, Christien, Life and Death in Latin American Cities: The Necropolis at Stake. (Death and Culture) 224 pp. 2025:10 (Bristol U. Pr., UK) <754-883>
ISBN 978-1-5292-4500-4 hard ¥23,144.- (税込) GB£ 80.00

The infrastructure of death is an undeniable part of urban life, yet it is often overlooked in the study of cities. This book explores the intricate dynamics between the living and the dead in six Latin American cities: Bogota, Medellin, Lima, Buenos Aires, Quetzaltenango and Cuenca. Drawing on more than a decade of ethnographic research, the author investigates how urban death infrastructures - such as cemeteries and spaces for the deceased - are shaped by rapid urbanization, legacies of violence, neoliberal policies and alternative spiritual practices. With a fresh Global South perspective, this unique contribution will challenge the boundaries of death studies, placing the infrastructure of death at the heart of urban life.

Jarvis, Charlotte (ed.), Threats to Our Ocean Heritage: Deep Sea Mining. (SpringerBriefs in Archaeology) 161 pp. 2025:10 (Springer, GW) <754-894>
ISBN 978-3-031-98237-8 paper ¥7,421.- (税込) EUR 29.99

This open access brief is a pioneering work that is one of the first book publications to cover underwater cultural heritage and deep seabed mining. Bringing together a variety of perspectives, the work is designed to serve several purposes and educate a few different types of readers. The work introduces and offers a history on deep seabed mining, the legal context, and how it fits into the new UN Convention on Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ treaty), the International Seabed Authority (DSM governing body), and the ecological impacts of deep seabed mining. The brief is also aimed at marine ecologists and other ocean scientists who may already be aware of the DSM and the ecological impacts, but not of the cultural heritage at risk. It introduces deep-water archaeology to them and a few case studies of heritage at risk, like in New Zealand or polluting wrecks. Finally, the book offers suggestions for steps forward and case studies of cultural heritage being included in environmental impact assessments. By the end of the book, all parties should feel educated enough to begin championing a ban on, or more regulations for, seabed mining. One additional strength of the book is that it gives voice to those without a traditional academic background. Intangible cultural heritage has been a hotbed issue in mining regulations and many indigenous voices, especially from the Pacific, have been loudly outspoken at the ISA. While writing thousand-word academic journal articles was not in their wheelhouse, they have given permission for their speeches to be transcribed and included in the book. This will bring a new set of voices into the scientific discourse on the issue. The book is also set up to have many images to de-mystify the deep and show readers the beauty that must be protected.

Johnson, Rebecca / McKenzie, Debra / Napoleon, Val et al., Ravens Talking: Indigenous Feminist Legal Studies. 277 pp. 2025:12 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-478>
ISBN 978-1-4875-5142-1 hard ¥20,168.- (税込) US$ 95.00
ISBN 978-1-4875-5147-6 paper ¥7,844.- (税込) US$ 36.95

While awareness of the sexual and gendered colonial violence faced by Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people has grown, the field of Indigenous law and beyond has yet to fully engage with Indigenous feminisms, gender, and sexuality in a sustained way. Ravens Talking challenges this gap, treating Indigenous feminisms as essential, insightful, and deeply transformative. Through critical feminist analyses, this book examines key issues in Indigenous law, demonstrating how legal understandings shift when gender is consistently, meaningfully, and creatively engaged. The contributors to this collection confront the forms of power shaping these essential conversations and bring to the fore intergenerational Indigenous feminisms; Indigenous law and gender; the forms of expression and translation between and across legal and political worlds; and the rich array of disagreements and conflicts between Indigenous women. Ravens Talking intends to capture the complexities arising from Indigenous feminisms in living contexts to provoke questions and develop critical perspectives. Both intellectually rigorous and practically grounded, Ravens Talking is a vital contribution encouraging dialogue on Indigenous legal traditions, justice, and sovereignty.

Brandel, Andrew / Das, Veena / Laugier, Sandra et al., A Matter of Detail: Anthropology, Philosophy, and Aesthetics. (Anthropological Horizons) 277 pp. 2025:10 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-32>
ISBN 978-1-4875-5064-6 hard ¥13,799.- (税込) US$ 65.00

A Matter of Detail inspires new ways of thinking about detail by bringing anthropology, philosophy, art history, and aesthetics into direct conversation. Co-editors Brandel, Das, Laugier, and Pitrou challenge a long-standing assumption that the history of detail begins with European modernity and follows a teleological course from an object of scorn to a sign of the good. In its place, they offer a history of attention to detail that draws on classical and vernacular histories and traditions found in grammar, ritual, and poetics around the world. Emphasizing detail as a method and moving between its usage as a noun (detail) and a verb (detailing) enables them to tell stories about the reassembly of detail across accidents, contingencies, and unintended consequences.From this vantage, the book argues that details are not always small and insignificant. Rather, there is a dynamic relationship between the minute and the grand, detail and surface, which makes the proliferation of details threatening to the idea of an authoritative and integrated imagination of the whole. This expanded context generates ways of conceiving detail as a conceptual and moral mode of self-formation and being toward others, both human and non-human.

Paulovich, Natallia, The Taste of Agency: Cooking, Gender, and Social Change in Georgia. 262 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <754-1024>
ISBN 978-3-031-97813-5 hard ¥32,171.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book explores the evolving role of women in Georgian society through the lens of food and cooking. Drawing on ethnographic research in Ozurgeti, it reveals how domestic practices serve as powerful expressions of female agency. From the 19th century to the post-Soviet era, Georgian women have used food to navigate socio-economic crises, reshape family structures, and preserve cultural identity. The book combines feminist anthropology and food studies to challenge assumptions about women's roles in traditional societies. By focusing on everyday acts of sustenance, it offers a nuanced view of how women actively shape both private and public life. A vital contribution to gender studies, anthropology, and post-Soviet research, this book enhances our understanding of food as a site of social change.

Bundgaard, Helle / Dalsgard, Anne Line, Resonant Ethnography: Understanding the World through Writing. (Palgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology) 255 pp. 2025:9 (Springer, GW) <754-1053>
ISBN 978-3-031-97746-6 paper ¥12,371.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This book explores what it means-and what it takes-to write ethnographic texts that resonate with both fieldwork and readers. It approaches writing as a form of embodied thinking and encourages conceptual openness and a willingness to experiment. Drawing on exemplary texts and the authors' experiences as teachers and writers, it explores the importance of attentiveness, imagination, and ethical engagement. Grounded in anthropology and phenomenology, and inspired by literature, it weaves conceptual reflection with practical guidance and literary sensibility. Throughout the book, the authors show how ambiguity, affect, and imagination can foster understanding. Each chapter focuses on a key aspect of the writing process, exploring fundamentals such as time, voice, argument, and composition. More than just a guide to writing, Resonant Ethnography is an invitation to think, feel, and imagine through writing, and to appreciate what ethnography can be in the world today.

Dossa, Parin, Ethics of Co-Existence: Ethno-Photography. 277 pp. 2025:12 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-1054>
ISBN 978-1-4875-6181-9 hard ¥18,894.- (税込) US$ 89.00
ISBN 978-1-4875-6182-6 paper ¥7,844.- (税込) US$ 36.95

How do we go about creating a socially just world where we can coexist equitably? What is it like to be cognizant of human-nature family? What are the forces that compromise our humanity? Ethics of Coexistence sheds light on these questions through the activist pedagogy of ethno-photography, brought to light by female research participants in Afghanistan, India, Kenya, and Canada. Making a case for interrelatedness and conviviality, this book foregrounds stories that have yet to be heard. Evoking a multivocality of responses, ethno-photography opens spaces for the co-construction of knowledge that does not reach a point of closure. It gently prompts us to identify spaces of intervention where we are not mere onlookers but active participants working towards transformative change; what affects "them" impacts "our" lives too. At a time when our world is entangled in a multifaceted crisis, Ethics of Coexistence maps a pathway for a socially just world by means of civic consciousness.

Henry, Eric, Keep Talking: An Invitation to Linguistic Anthropology. 296 pp. 2025:12 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-1055>
ISBN 978-1-4875-6370-7 hard ¥25,476.- (税込) US$ 120.00
ISBN 978-1-4875-6371-4 paper ¥9,542.- (税込) US$ 44.95

Language is not merely a set of words and grammatical rules; it is a deeply cultural phenomenon we use to navigate our social lives and craft our identities. Linguistic anthropology situates language in this essential context. A distinctively Canadian take on the field of linguistic anthropology, Keep Talking provides an up-to-date and detailed introduction to the discipline.Linguistic anthropologist Eric S. Henry draws on the significant research he has conducted on modernity, language, and culture to create an accessible, foundational guide on the subject for all students. A key argument laced throughout the chapters of this textbook is the idea that language is a form of social action - speaking is also doing. From oral performances to texting, from learning a first language to mixing others together, Keep Talking guides students through all the major concepts of the field while highlighting scholars and research relevant to the Canadian experience. Major areas of focus include Indigenous languages, the role of gender and ethnicity in communication, and doing research in the field. With an approachable writing style, this book includes images, tables, and text boxes along with summaries of further reading for students. Wide-ranging and deeply current, this textbook is perfectly suited for readers interested in the intersections of language and culture.

Matila, Tuuli, The Contemporary Archaeology of Emotions: Re-Framing the Past and Present. (SpringerBriefs in Archaeology) 101 pp. 2025:10 (Springer, GW) <754-1060>
ISBN 978-3-032-00964-7 paper ¥11,134.- (税込) EUR 44.99

This SpringerBrief examines emotions in the past through contemporary archaeological materials. The author explores this topic using the context of a former working-class neighbourhood in northern Finland that existed during the Cold War era (1947-1987). Finland offers an interesting context to examine this because of the twofold emotional frames; the Cold War and capitalism versus the nascent welfare state. The push and pull between the values emphasizing universal care and compassion against the hardline militarisation and financial competition results in accessing different and, sometimes, contradictory emotions. It also affords a gendered view into the past and such an angle could be attempted in the context of the deep past as well. This book offers several examples on how emotions could be accessed in the deep past and draws parallels between the examples from a contemporary 'western' country and various archaeological cultures and contexts. Emotions can be a bridge to access the secrets of human behavior. Such bridging is the core strength of archaeological education, but rarely are emotions acknowledged in the process. Lastly, this book underlines the role of emotions, specifically empathy, in archaeological education and in destabilizing contemporary political notions on social norms and contracts.

Newberry, Janice, Raising Spirit in Blackfoot Territory: Collaborative Design and Ethnographic Refusal. 277 pp. 2025:10 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-1061>
ISBN 978-1-4875-6001-0 hard ¥18,045.- (税込) US$ 85.00
ISBN 978-1-4875-6002-7 paper ¥6,145.- (税込) US$ 28.95

Raising Spirit in Blackfoot Territory examines the ethnographic dilemmas that arose across the run of the Raising Spirit project. This book asks what ethnography can be in the era of reconciliation based on this multi-year, multimodal, collaborative project to articulate child-rearing values in Blackfoot Territory. Collaborative work between a university and Indigenous community organization to build a digital storytelling library brought together researchers young and old, Indigenous and settler, university and community based. This book centrally concerns ethnography as a form of expertise and its need for a decolonizing fix. Young researchers were positioned as para-ethnographers and tasked with identifying cultural values for the digital library. Their design-influenced innovations to code collaboratively were an inspired answer to the political and ethical questions of knowledge production in a time of Indigenous resurgence and racial reckoning. Yet, when asked to serve as culture experts, young Indigenous researchers refused. The generative power of their refusals revealed the possibility for new imaginaries that exceed ethnographic recognition.Anthropologist Jan Newberry probes deeply into important questions on how to produce knowledge in a system that was designed to erase the voices it now is trying to bring to the fore. This work contributes to the reimagining of ethnographic methods in anthropology and productively expands attention to issues of expertise and ethnographic collaboration with Indigenous peoples.

Olthuis, John, On Dismantling Settler Colonialism: An Insider's Perspective on Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. (UTP Insights) 277 pp. 2025:10 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-1063>
ISBN 978-1-4875-6922-8 hard ¥7,430.- (税込) US$ 35.00

On Dismantling Settler Colonialism challenges conventional approaches to reconciliation, urging Canadians to move away from the notion of assimilation - where Indigenous peoples are expected to conform to the values and structures of settler colonial society. Instead, this book advocates for a true reconciliation: one that fosters the creation of political, economic, social, and cultural spaces where Indigenous nations can self-govern, restore their traditional lands, and live in harmony with the earth according to their own values and beliefs. Through deeply personal reflections on over five decades of activism in the communities of the Dene Nation, Grassy Narrows First Nation, Temagami First Nation and the Innu Nation of Labrador, John A. Olthuis shares his powerful journey of working to dismantle settler colonialism. He brings to light the many neglected blueprints for true reconciliation, including discussions of over 700 recommendations for systemic change put forth by the Penner Report, The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. This book offers a powerful exploration of how the challenging work of dismantling settler colonialism can be a transformative and deeply healing process for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples alike.

Lynnette, Arnold / Guzman, J. R. / Avera, E. et al. (eds.), Language and Health in Action. 256 pp. 2025:12 (Oxford U. Pr., UK) <753-506>
ISBN 978-0-19-893391-5 hard ¥28,640.- (税込) GB£ 99.00
ISBN 978-0-19-893392-2 paper ¥10,125.- (税込) GB£ 35.00

Health and wellbeing are profoundly shaped by communication processes. Language and Health in Action explores these interconnections by bringing together cutting-edge global scholarship from linguistic and medical anthropology. The book highlights the centrality of language practices and language ideologies in how professionals, individuals, families, and communities navigate illness and pursue health across the lifecourse, in clinical contexts, and beyond. Each chapter includes immersive examples from qualitative and ethnographic research, captured in clear and accessible prose. The volume includes a breadth of perspectives on public and global health that include topics such as infectious disease and chronic illness, mental health and addiction, disability, dying, and healing. Contributions shed light on urban and rural settings and the experiences of immigrants, indigenous communities, and other racialized populations. Chapters profile research conducted in Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, South Korea, Mexico, South Africa, Tanzania, and the United States. The book is organized into five thematic sections: clinical interaction, language access, community and communicability, language and environment, and healing practices. To support student readers and instructors, the book begins with an introduction to key terms in social scientific approaches to language and health, and each chapter includes a series of discussion and reflection questions. The volume demonstrates that linguistic and communicative practices, which are often taken for granted, nevertheless have far-reaching consequences for health outcomes.

Zhang, Liming, Ethnography of Religious Beliefs and Social Orders in Ethnic Areas. 199 pp. 2025:9 (Springer, GW) <753-234>
ISBN 978-981-9616-16-9 hard ¥29,696.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book presents a fascinating study of the religion of minority groups living in rural areas in Yunnan province in the early twenty-first century and how they use religious rituals to show their own nationality and spiritual culture. By exploring these minority groups, e.g., the Dai, Bulang, and De'ang, the book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the relationship between religion and social functions and of the ways in which globalization and modernity are experienced at the most personal level. It provides valuable insights into how minority people negotiate sacred /secular demands and requirements, how they experience a sense of satisfaction and comfort in Buddhist temples, and how that experience shapes their sense of identity, worldview, values, and relations with others. In closing, the book gives a voice to the experiences of Buddhists, who are one of the most important-and yet least visible-signs of religion freedom in China's reform processes. It offers a unique guide for all readers, who are interesting in oriental studies, and an ideal reference book for Anthropology and Buddhism courses at colleges and universities.

Social change is a topic of central interest in the social sciences. The upheavals and reforms that swept across former socialist states in Eurasia offer a rich array of case studies to deepen our understanding of this phenomenon. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in an ethnically Bulgarian community in rural Ukraine, Kaneff uniquely brings to light a range of hidden conflicts and everyday tensions, as well as new alliances and solidarities resulting from the redistribution of resources following Ukrainian independence. A focus on five key resources provides a means to explore the way in which relationships have been contested and renegotiated in this small community, with implications that go far beyond those boundaries.

de Cesari, Chiara / Modest, Wayne / Pagliuca Pelacani, M., Decolonizing the Museum: Art, Activism and the Question of Race in Curation. (Museums in Focus) 144 pp. 2025:10 (Routledge, UK) <753-1684>
ISBN 978-1-032-41159-0 hard ¥15,329.- (税込) GB£ 52.99

This book asks what it means to decolonize museums in theory and practice. It explores recent calls by activists and artists for social change in and through museums, and how museums have responded to these calls and interventions.The point of departure for this volume are the burgeoning global debates around racism that have compelled many museums and public institutions to confront their complicity in colonialism, both past and present. Building on interviews with curators, cultural practitioners, artists and activists, as well as the authors' ongoing involvement with movements aimed at decolonising museums, this volume explores how anti-racist activism and artivism have transformed museums, as well as the broader social and political significance of these transformations. The book focuses on the practices, approaches, and strategies that are being adopted in efforts to decolonize museums and cultural institutions; where they succeed and fail; and the similarities and differences between these initiatives. It discusses specific exhibitions and whether they represent colonialism as past phenomenon or as enduring racial logics forcefully shaping the present. It analyzes both mainstream European museums as well as grassroots, museum-like initiatives that aim to reckon with colonialism and race in different contexts. Core to the argument is the issue of how memory, heritage and museum studies, the disciplines that explore, explain and staff museums, have engaged or not with race.Decolonizing the Museum will be valuable for those studying or researching in the fields of Museum Studies, Heritage, Memory and Art Studies, Decolonial theory, Postcolonialism, Race and Racism, and Cultural Politics. Providing an important window into the political role of curators, the politics of race in transforming museums, it will also be beneficial to museum practitioners as well as activists and artists with a stake in these institutions.

Bender, Margaret / Belt, Thomas N., The New Voice of God: Language, Worldview, and the Cherokee Bible. 190 pp. 2025:7 (U. Oklahoma Pr., US) <753-170>
ISBN 978-0-8061-9542-1 hard ¥9,553.- (税込) US$ 45.00

For Christian European missionaries among the Cherokees at the turn of the eighteenth century, translating the Bible meant wrestling with the extreme structural differences between Cherokee and English. The New Voice of God reveals how these linguistic differences encoded basic predispositions and orientations toward the physical, spiritual, and social worlds- and how their translation in turn encodes the profound linguistic and cultural exchange manifested in the making of the Cherokee Bible. While the introduction of Christianity shaped Cherokee communicative practices and culture, the Cherokee language also reshaped the Bible to reflect a definitive Native worldview. Focusing on three books of the Cherokee Bible - Genesis, John, and Matthew - Margaret Bender and Thomas N. Belt demonstrate how Christianity, written in and on Cherokee terms, can be uniquely and distinctly Cherokee, while remaining undeniably Christian. For example, Cherokee's rich and complex grammar work against English's noun-centeredness, yielding creative approximations of European objects as conditions and essences as events. Cherokee's radically different pronoun structure includes the reader in Biblical conversation in surprising ways. The authors also explain the relevance of the Cherokee Indigenous writing system - invented by Sequoyah, a non-Christian native speaker - to the complex spiritual landscape of the nineteenth century. Their analysis suggests that the Cherokee Bible records this cross-cultural encounter at a deep philosophical level, providing evidence that microlinguistic detail powerfully and intricately reflects macrosociological phenomena. In showing how Cherokee Christians ingeniously adapted Christian practices to create unique social and spiritual identities, The New Voice of God documents how this adaptation - manifest in the translation of Christian texts into Cherokee - not only bridged two vastly different languages but also exposed deep philosophical differences, challenging Western cultural norms and reshaping spiritual discourse.

Matias, Jo Zalea / Scheyhing, Nicola et al. (eds.), Diversity in Visual Representations of the Past: Representation Matters. (Themes in Contemporary Archaeology) 110 pp. 2025:9 (Springer, GW) <753-1712>
ISBN 978-3-031-98240-8 hard ¥27,221.- (税込) EUR 109.99

This volume presents an overview of the diversity - or lack thereof - in visual representations of the European past that are found in archaeology, museums, and media. While publications discussing gender stereotypes in European archaeological media exist, other identities remain underrepresented - namely, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), those with visible and invisible disabilities, and very young and very old. This volume offers insight into these gaps in European media and archaeology, while also providing alternative explanations for interpreting these often-stereotyped identities and methodologies for inclusion. The chapters within this volume are divided into four themes.Themes cover the development of images of the past and discusses how images are chosen in museums. The book identifies who is missing in images of the past, with topics on representing individuals with disabilities/children in museums, the Other in Roman art, and Scythians in museums and books and critiques approaches to representation and diversity in media, such as in textbooks, popular media, and children's books. Finally, the book challenges the lack of diversity and a proliferation of stereotypes in images of the past and asks, how do we improve on them and create new ones. Overall, this book addresses the need for diversity in images, both within academic archaeology and with the broader public.

Augereau, Anne / Darmangeat, Christophe (eds.), The Archaeological Challenge of Gender. 176 pp. 2025:10 (Routledge, UK) <753-1774>
ISBN 978-1-041-14636-0 hard ¥15,329.- (税込) GB£ 52.99

The Archaeological Challenge of Gender asks, what do we know about the relations between men and women in past societies, and on what basis is this knowledge built? Although sources of data are meagre and often indirect, this book plays particular attention to exploring gender relations in a way that acknowledges its complexity. Contributors show how difficult questions on gender relationships in past societies are, avoiding preconceived ideas and naive reasoning. The book starts with a grounding introduction that takes readers through questions such as: what is gender archaeology? What are its objectives and methods, but also its shortcomings and dead ends? How can social anthropology contribute to our knowledge of the gender relations of disappeared societies? In what way have these real or, more often, supposed gender relations been put at the service of a discourse on the present society? Chapters then tackle specific themes using case studies from around the globe that highlight common issues, controversy and methodological problems. Taking a critical approach and addressing the way knowledge is constructed in this field, this book is for students and researchers in Archaeology, Anthropology and Gender Studies.

Foxworth, Raymond / Boulding, Carew / Maddison, S. (eds.), Racism and Resentment in Indigenous-Settler Relations: Lessons from the Voice. (Indigenous-Settler Relations in Australia and the World) 148 pp. 2025:9 (Springer, GW) <753-1779>
ISBN 978-3-031-95271-5 hard ¥29,696.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book looks at deep-seated elements of racism in Indigenous-settler relations through detailed analyses of the October 2023 Voice to Parliament referendum in Australia and its outcome---and discusses what might come next. The Voice to Parliament referendum proposed a constitutional amendment to create an Indigenous advisory body in the Australian Parliament. The referendum met with a resounding defeat. Against this background, the book analyses survey results during the referendum that asked direct questions about attitudes towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as about policies and issues important to many Indigenous peoples. It situates Australia's experience in this election with other research on attitudes towards Indigenous peoples, rights, and policy issues. The book also interrogates another major survey in the lead-up to the referendum, questioning those findings in relation to racism. It looks at possible learnings for the social sciences about Indigenous politics and examines the ways in which Australian settler nationalism created obstacles to the referendum's success and considers the limits of deliberation for Indigenous political claims.

Modest, Wayne / Pels, Peter (eds.), Museum Temporalities: Time, History and the Future of the Ethnographic Museum. (Routledge Studies in Anthropology and Museums) 336 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <753-1784>
ISBN 978-1-350-10314-6 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

Museum Temporalities analyzes how museums relate to time. It explores the hidden temporal assumptions and practices that define museums. How might these assumptions help us to better understand and address museums' often problematic and painful relationship to a colonial past? Since the nineteenth century, the globalization of the museum has spread specific understandings of permanence and temporariness that inform museum display, separated the modern from the traditional, and promoted preservation and development in ways that tacitly assume a North Atlantic cultural outlook as the end point of history and the standard that determines a hierarchy of science, art, technology, craft and natural history. Questioning linear and epochal genealogies that assume Enlightenment surveys of the classifiable universe as the origin of the museum, Modest and Pels present evidence that global exhibitionary complexes will fail to sufficiently address questions of decolonization and restitution if they do not make room for the ethnographic museum as a principal site where suggestions for the future of all museums can be generated. They show that any attempt to address the problematic and painful relationship that museums have to colonial pasts requires them to reorient their relationship to time. The volume assembles building blocks for a theory and practice of museums that no longer assumes the need for identities, objects and collections to be permanent, for the museum to be the end-point of knowledge, and for 'art' or 'science' to be the universal measure to which other forms of cultural production can only aspire. This path-breaking collection centralizes and develops current concerns in critical museology and is valuable reading for scholars and students of museum studies, anthropology, heritage studies, and material culture.

Nadel, Dani / Bar-Oz, Guy / Malkinson, Dan / Bement, Leland, Hunting and Extinctions in Southwest Asia and North America: The Silent Testimony of Communal Game Traps. 416 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <753-1785>
ISBN 978-1-032-77451-0 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

Hunting and Extinctions in Southwest Asia and North America explores communal game traps for harvesting ungulate herds in two continents, utilizing a comparative approach addressing settings, species and the hunters' societies.The kites of Southwest Asia have been known to archaeologists for almost 100 years but with the advent of high-resolution satellite images thousands of sites have been found. Using the rich data from the Southwest and Central Asia and North America, this book addresses some of the important questions which arise concerning the social, economic and environmental implications of ancient and recent use of large game traps. The book has four major parts. The first introduces the book and reviews the evolution of human hunting. The second part presents examples of desert kites from various areas of Southwest and Central Asia. Detailed case studies are included that use a variety of evidence such as aerial surveys, field surveys, excavations, eye witnesses accounts and petroglyph depictions. Environmental and geographical settings of the isolated traps, the clusters of traps and the long chains are explored to provide conceptual models regarding past herd behavior and their seasonal migrations. The third part presents examples of communal game traps in various regions in North America, addressing the same issues discussed in the second part. The fourth part provides a comparative study of game traps in North America with the kites of Southwest Asia, focusing on the settings, species and social organization of the hunters.With the research on communal game traps increasing rapidly, this book provides the first inclusive synthesis on the subject and is for archaeologists, anthropologists, zoologists, ecologists and environmentalists who are interested in past interactions between humans and their environments, and the impact of past human communities on the landscape and on target game populations, as well as the consequences that are still relevant today.

Stuart, David E., Ancient Women Gardeners: Prelude to the Chacoan World. (New Century Gardens and Landscapes of the American Southwest) 232 pp. 2025:10 (U. New Mexico Pr., US) <753-1789>
ISBN 978-0-8263-6846-1 hard ¥15,922.- (税込) US$ 75.00
ISBN 978-0-8263-6847-8 paper ¥6,358.- (税込) US$ 29.95

A wholly new perspective on the importance of gardens and agriculture on the Chacoan world, establishing the female dominated gardeners as the basis of Chacoan culture. Author David E. Stuart digs beyond the standard archaeological examination of structures, tools, and rituals of the age to provide a more rounded view of this remarkable culture. An original look at the gardens and gardeners of the Chacoan World, internationally acclaimed ethno-anthropologist David E. Stuart's Ancient Women Gardeners: Prelude to the Chacoan World explores the ecological, demographic, and human dynamics that led to Chaco's rise and fall from its early beginnings in the 500s AD to its decline during the 1100s AD. The Chacoan system represents North America's earliest form of an emergent urban ecology. From its outset, Chacoan farm nodes consisted of widely scattered clusters of gardens connected by roads, way stations, and district granaries. Chaco's women gardeners fueled powerful growth that was eventually aborted as unforeseen dynamics barred the path to long-term sustainability. Stuart considers the intersection of population growth, agricultural yields, crop and soil possibilities, the caloric cost of labor, the corrosive role of pellagra, iron-deficiency anemia, the power of dietary protein in population dynamics, and the limitations imposed by early growth in the San Juan Basin-a land of poor soils, unpredictable rainfall, and rapidly declining wild vegetal foods and game. Focusing on the Chacoan landscape, farming techniques, and a world in which clusters of individual gardening families played a key role in creating an incipient urbanism in the Southwest, Stuart argues that without these accomplished gardening families and their agricultural innovations, there never would have been a "Chaco Phenomenon."

Trbojevic, Danilo, Balkan Vampires: Society, Politics, Representation. (Routledge Studies in Anthropology) 336 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <753-1790>
ISBN 978-1-032-86895-0 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

Balkan Vampires examines how vampire motifs from Balkan folklore have permeated modern sociocultural and political realms, exploring their role in rural traditions and transformation under global influences. The book builds on extensive fieldwork conducted in village communities across Serbia, the cradle of vampire lore, where the author has been able to record numerous stories, memories, and testimonies of residents. The research reveals the vampire not merely as a mythical figure but as a potent symbol in cultural and political discourse. The chapters demonstrate that vampire narratives are not just remnants of traditional rural beliefs but are actively engaged in shaping contemporary cultural and social identities. The author analyses the persistence and adaptability of vampire motifs, demonstrating their relevance in expressing community fears, challenging societal norms, and navigating the tensions between local traditions and global influences. Drawing on a wealth of ethnographic material, the book will be of interest to scholars of anthropology, cultural studies, folklore, demonology, history and beyond.

Ramon, Gabriel, Itinerant Potters in the Andes: The Swallow Model of Ceramic Production. 160 pp. 2025:9 (Routledge, UK) <753-1487>
ISBN 978-1-032-01093-9 hard ¥15,329.- (税込) GB£ 52.99

Itinerant Potters in the Andes: The Swallow Model of Ceramic Production presents a new interpretative approach to pottery production and distribution. Based on extensive fieldwork data from the northern Peruvian Andes, it explores the swallow potters, itinerant artisans who seasonally leave their hometowns to produce ceramic pots in destination towns, both near and far.These itinerant artisans have been recorded ethnographically in the Peruvian territory since the late nineteenth century. However, archaeologists and art historians tend to ignore them in their explanations of Andean material culture, insisting on a static image of the past. Moreover, nearly all of the general interpretative concepts and models of the precolonial Andean world are based on decorated ceramics and on a model of a potter who stays put and works in their hometown. This book argues that comprehensive explanations of Andean history must incorporate undecorated pottery and must consider various types of potters. This novel perspective uses the swallows to propose a more dynamic reading of Andean ceramic evidence, in which these potters are understood as part of broader inter-communal Andean migration patterns that have persisted since precolonial times.This book will be of great interest to researchers in Andean Archaeology and Ethnography as well as pottery specialists from around the world.

Bennett, Bindi / Menzel, Kelly (eds.), Indigenous Research Knowledges and Their Place in the Academy. (Indigenous-Settler Relations in Australia and the World 7) 338 pp. 2025:9 (Springer, GW) <753-1609>
ISBN 978-3-031-92702-7 hard ¥27,221.- (税込) EUR 109.99

This book privileges Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing in research and serves as a voice in taking on some of the more marginal topics within methodologies. It is significant in that it is written by indigenous scholars themselves. The contributors shed light, for example, on Queer BlaQ bodies and place Indigenous women as central in reimagining fair academic practice; others return to their foundational texts to reflect on the growth of Indigenous Standpoint Theory. This book sees Indigenous Peoples as holding greater significance within research objectives and institutional practices and reimagines a research world embracing storytelling as foundational to academia. It is intended for students and early researchers, particularly Indigenous researchers, whilst also serving as an invaluable textbook for non-Indigenous people as it aids in explaining and outlining Indigenous research and is a valuable tool in the classroom and with research students. It demonstrates that Indigenous research approaches can sit beside and be equal to Western research, especially when engaging with the ethics process and for PhD students. This book is invaluable for non-Indigenous allies and researchers globally to further explain and outline Aboriginal (Australian) Indigenous research.

ISBN 978-3-031-97288-1 hard ¥32,171.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book is an ethnography of the important cultural characteristics, local myths, and legends in Shawo Town, a subordinate to Dongming County in Shandong Province. Based on the author's fieldwork in this unique region of the Yellow River area, this book examines the local people's daily practice and religious beliefs in the dominant symbol "Qi." In local society, Qi has three levels of structural characteristics and significance. First, it is a material entity which exists in people's living world as three different forms of existence: Qi of Heaven, Qi of Earth, and Qi of Humans. Second, in a material sense, Qi has individual cultural significance and collective action social significance: QiXing, YunQi, QiShu, and so on, can concisely express this meaning. Thirdly, Qi has the most important symbolic meaning in its special form of Shen (god or goddess) and ancestors. This meaning can represent local society's basic clan organization and can also include the traditional construction of local identity and local political power, as well as the performance of fairness and justice, and good and evil. The concept of Qi plays a crucial role in the construction of local people's universe view, and through the holism of Qi, much can be understood about the daily lives, religious beliefs, and societal connections of the local people.

Eating Culture chews over the continuities and changes in human food consumption, from hunter-gathering to ultra-processed foods, to digest the ramifications for people's identity-work, health, and long-term cultural distinction. The new edition uses the concept of cuisine to trace humanity's relationship with food, thematically explored through health, sociality, and identity. It evaluates dietary change, decent meals, and food commodification, alongside threats to security and health. Drawing on ethnographic examples, dietary transitions are situated in changing political, economic, and social circumstances, presenting a critical approach necessary to explore our current global food system. Chapters on cooking, recipes, and eating-in and out offer relatable examples, underlining the significance of everyday life and incorporating an ethnographic approach that extends into practical exercises aligned with each chapter's themes, to highlight the relevancy of our own experiences. Vividly illustrated, the book explores dishes from various global cuisines, offering insights into people's culinary traditions and enriching our understanding and appreciation of food as a fundamental aspect of culture in our daily lives. Ultimately, Eating Culture presents a critical examination of how deeply food is entwined with our identity.

ISBN 978-1-4962-4496-3 paper ¥7,430.- (税込) US$ 35.00

In Playing to the End, Steve Bialostok immerses readers in the vibrant world of the card room at Denver's Hiawatha Davis Jr. Recreation Center, where a group of older Black men gather to play dominoes, exchange playful banter known as "talking shit," and cultivate a space of belonging. More than just a game, their gatherings are acts of Black placemaking-resisting cultural erasure, gentrification, and societal marginalization while fostering joy, resilience, and community. Through five years of ethnographic study, Bialostok reveals how these men transform the card room into a sanctuary of identity and defiance, where humor and camaraderie become tools of self-determination. As they navigate the pressures of a changing neighborhood, their interactions affirm the power of play, talk, and collective memory in sustaining Black spaces. Playing to the End is a compelling testament to the significance of these gatherings and the ongoing struggle for autonomy, cultural affirmation, and social connection in an inequitable world.

ISBN 978-1-041-03120-8 paper ¥11,568.- (税込) GB£ 39.99

Ghost Dances in Ivory Towers reflects an ethnographic journey shaped by ancestral strength, resilience, and reverence. It is not merely academic-it is ceremonial: a remembering, a return, and a love song to generations yet to come.This is a project of Indigenous empowerment and ancestral reclamation, offering a constellation of guiding principles rooted in Choctaw ways of knowing. Ghost Dances in Ivory Towers moves beyond critique; it becomes ceremony-disrupting colonial frameworks of academia and reimagining higher education as a place of relational accountability, healing, and reciprocity. By centring Indigenous voices, it challenges the foundations of institutional knowledge production and invites a return to wisdom that lives in land, lineage, and spirit. The title itself is both metaphor and invocation-a tribute to the Ghost Dance, a sacred act of resistance and cultural resurgence. Through story, scholarship, and spiritual insight, this work becomes a pathway-guiding policy, pedagogy, epistemology, philosophy, and practice toward life-affirming futures.This book is for one and all--for Indigenous families and future ancestors, for students and scholars, policymakers and poets, and every seeker of truth. Showcasing autoethnographic and narrative methodologies, it invites a global audience into a transformative journey-where Indigenous wisdom reshapes the academy, society, and the stories we choose to honor.

Cohen, Jeffrey H., Eating Grasshoppers: Chapulines and the Women Who Sell Them. 160 pp. 2025:9 (U. Texas Pr., US) <752-1066>
ISBN 978-1-4773-3228-3 paper ¥6,358.- (税込) US$ 29.95 *

An approachable ethnography of how grasshoppers are harvested, sold, and consumed in Oaxaca. Chapulines (toasted grasshoppers) are not a delicacy in Oaxaca. They are just food-good food-and a protein-rich seasonal snack that is the product of a long-standing industry based overwhelmingly on the labor of women. Jeffrey Cohen has interviewed dozens of these chapulineras, who harvest insects from corn and alfalfa fields, prepare them, and sell them in urban and rural marketplaces. An accessible ethnography, Eating Grasshoppers tells their story alongside the broader history of chapulines. For tourists, chapulines are an experience-a gateway to the "real" Oaxaca. For locals, they are ordinary fare, but also a reminder of Indigenous stability and rural survival. In a sense, eating chapulines is a declaration of independence from a government that has condemned eating insects as backward. Yet, while chapulines are a generations-old favorite, eating them is not an act of preservation. Cohen shows that the business of this allegedly traditional food is thoroughly modern and ever evolving, with entrepreneurial chapulineras responding nimbly to complex and dynamic markets. From alfalfa fields to online markets, Eating Grasshoppers takes readers inside one of the world's most fascinating food cultures.

ISBN 978-1-4773-3274-0 paper ¥7,419.- (税込) US$ 34.95

A personal, provocative, and boundary-breaking volume on the power relations that racialized, gendered, and sexualized researchers grapple with while conducting activist research.Fugitive Anthropology is a transnational, intergenerational engagement that extends feminist theory, activist research methodologies, and the discipline of anthropology in new directions. Contributors examine the tensions that arise from conducting politically engaged, collaborative research alongside communities in struggle, in particular theorizing from the experiences of racialized women, queer, trans, and gender nonconforming researchers across distinct geographies. Essays contend with the matrices of colonial, imperial, and patriarchal violence that afflict the researchers and communities with which they seek political alignment. Articulating an ethnographic practice grounded in Black and Indigenous political struggles and committed to collective liberation, the volume reflects on what it means to navigate violent relations of power, systemic inequities, and current onslaughts shaping field research and US academia. Ultimately, Fugitive Anthropology argues that a feminist ethos-one that embraces embodied knowledges and fugitive sensibilities-forges liberatory spaces that break from dominant masculinist frames of the "political" and challenge colonial regimes within and beyond the neoliberal university.

Raymond D. Fogelson was a luminary theoretician in the interdisciplinary field of ethnohistory who advocated for Indigenous-centered theory and ethnographic writing in the field of Cherokee studies and ethnohistory. Fogelson's unique methodology was to look for institutions that Cherokees and Native peoples themselves considered traditional and to carefully study them. Fogelson taught in the anthropology department at the University of Chicago and trained leading ethnohistorians of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Dedicated to his graduate students, the corpus of his influential scholarship resides in journal articles, academic presentations, and public lectures. In this essential collection, Sergei Kan and Michael E. Harkin have assembled Fogelson's pioneering articles as a resource for ethnohistorians in the twenty-first century.

Explores the value of oral traditions and challenges entrenched beliefs about ethnogenesis in the Great Basin In When the Earth Was New, Alex K. Ruuska explores riveting multigenerational memories of Numic-speaking communities that extend back, potentially, to the late Pleistocene. These diverse oral traditions describe geological, climatic, and ecological events that occurred over thousands of years and were passed down across many generations. Through the examination of place-based memories and the architecture of Numic knowledge, Ruuska demonstrates convergences of oral traditions, ethnography, ethnohistory, archaeology, and geology.When the Earth Was New critically compares and considers multiple forms of knowledge that contribute to overlapping as well as disparate understandings of both recent and distant pasts in the regions of California, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau. It works at balancing key themes in these regions' histories within a more holistic framework, exploring ancient and modern strands of knowledge with the assistance of twenty-four Tribes and Consolidated Organizations.

Schlanger, Nathan, The Invention of Technology: An Intellectual History with Andre Leroi-Gourhan. 325 pp. 2026:1 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <752-1074>
ISBN 978-1-009-56222-5 hard ¥26,037.- (税込) GB£ 90.00

What is technology? How and why did techniques - including materials, tools, processes and products - become central subjects of study in anthropology and archaeology? In this book, Nathan Schlanger explores the invention of technology through the work of the eminent ethnologist and prehistorian Andre Leroi-Gourhan (1911-1986), author of groundbreaking works such as Gesture and Speech. While employed at the Musee de l'Homme in Paris, Leroi-Gourhan initially specialized in ethnographic studies of 'material civilizations'. By the 1950s, however, his approach broadened to encompass evolutionary and behavioral perspectives from history, biology, psychology and philosophy. Focused on the material dimensions of techniques, Leroi-Gourhan's influential investigations ranged from traditional craft activities to automated production. They also anticipated both the information age and the environmental crisis of today. Schlanger's study offers new insights into the complexity of Leroi-Gourhan's interdisciplinary research, methods, and results, spanning across the 20th century social sciences and humanities.

Stender, Marie / Bech-Danielsen, Claus et al. (eds.), The Routledge Handbook of Architecture and Anthropology: Contemporary Approaches to a Cross-Disciplinary Field. (Routledge International Handbooks) 422 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <752-1075>
ISBN 978-1-032-80015-8 hard ¥66,539.- (税込) GB£ 230.00

This Handbook provides fresh insights into the debates and challenges that unfold in the cross-disciplinary field of architecture and anthropology. Based on studies of empirical contexts across the globe, the authors launch and test a broad variety of methods and advance various theoretical concepts.Architecture and anthropology have always had overlapping interests, but a range of developments in both areas make it more relevant than ever to intersect, overlap, combine or even merge the two disciplines. In anthropology, the spatial, material, and non-human turns have paved the way for an increasing interest in, and need, of changing the world, rather than just studying it. On the other hand, architecture, beyond designing structures, has become interested in the uses and processes that unfold in, during, and after construction. The contemporary research and practices in both disciplines are testimonies that a cross-disciplinary exchange is inspiring for engaging with, and responding to, the challenges of a world in ecological, societal, and political turmoil.This Handbook addresses established scholars, students and practitioners alike by outlining contemporary developments and tensions at the intersection of architecture and anthropology.

The Indigenous Archives Collective (ed.), The Indigenous Right of Reply to Archives: Working towards Indigenous Sovereignty, Healing, and Justice in Archival Practice. 192 pp. 2025:10 (Routledge, UK) <752-1076>
ISBN 978-1-032-77100-7 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-032-77098-7 paper ¥11,568.- (税込) GB£ 39.99

This book brings together leading Indigenous and allied thinkers, practitioners, and advocates to address the critical issue of the Right of Reply in archives-foregrounding truth-telling, cultural safety, and Indigenous sovereignty across GLAM institutions. Collecting institutions have shaped and maintained records produced by colonial systems of administration and continue to play a role in perpetuating colonial paradigms that are inherently resistant to the needs and priorities of Indigenous peoples. Against this backdrop, this book embarks on a scholarly investigation into the concept known as the 'Right of Reply.' This concept speaks to Indigenous peoples' right to update, correct, critique, or enhance Indigenous knowledge that is held in collecting institutions. Spanning creative responses, case studies, policy critiques, and international perspectives, the volume explores how the Right of Reply operates as a political and ethical imperative in the work of archives. Contributors examine Indigenous-led protocols, the impact of colonial recordkeeping, digital repatriation, metadata annotation, and structural transformation in Australia, Aotearoa, and the United States. The volume offers a blueprint for decolonising archives and centring Indigenous agency, illuminating the innovative strategies being implemented across institutional and community settings. It is essential reading for archivists, curators, scholars, and anyone committed to transforming GLAM practice.

Vivian, R. Gwinn / Fladd, Samantha G., Capturing Water: Puebloan Resilience and Agricultural Sustainability in Chaco Canyon. 408 pp. 2025:12 (U. Utah Pr., US) <752-1077>
ISBN 978-1-64769-221-6 hard ¥18,045.- (税込) US$ 85.00

An esteemed archaeologist's lifetime of work on water use in Chaco Canyon The ability of the inhabitants of Chaco Canyon to sustain themselves through farming in an arid environment has long been a topic of debate among scholars. Building upon the work of his father, Gordon, R. Gwinn Vivian dedicated his lifetime of archaeological work to investigating water management and practices at Chaco. These efforts provide compelling evidence of the extensive use of canal irrigation systems and other water management techniques employed by the Ancestral Puebloan people by the ninth century and continuing through recent periods by Navajo farmers. Rich with archaeological data, ethnographic evidence, maps, and photographs, this volume challenges long-standing assumptions about Chaco Canyon's agricultural potential. By highlighting the adaptability and ingenuity of the canyon's early inhabitants, the book offers a fresh perspective on the role of water management in the development of Chaco Canyon as a sociopolitical center in the northern Southwest.

Young, Donna, A Bridge to Nowhere: Temporalities to Abandonment in Rural Canada. (Anthropological Horizons) 277 pp. 2025:10 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <752-1078>
ISBN 978-1-4875-6446-9 hard ¥18,045.- (税込) US$ 85.00
ISBN 978-1-4875-6447-6 paper ¥5,721.- (税込) US$ 26.95

Artfully written and meticulously crafted, A Bridge to Nowhere explores the lives of men and women in isolated settlements across Canada, examining how their experiences are shaped by memory, precarity, and poverty. Following men abandoned at remote rail sidings in western Canada and women left in rural settlements in northern New Brunswick, Donna Young presents a powerful and unflinching Canadian story that critically analyses how poverty is represented in anthropological studies. Based on research conducted in the 1980s and 1990s, this innovative ethnography centres each chapter on a specific place or individual, developing an analysis anchored in memory and relationality. Young deftly connects the precariousness of these communities to the extraction of primary resources in the twentieth century, while also addressing the gendered spaces and labour conditions that define their lives. In navigating the complex and often contradictory forces at play, the book engages with a storied loneliness set against rural landscapes and regional sensibilities. Weaving together social history, memory studies, and the anthropology of performance, A Bridge to Nowhere honours the emotional and social structures embedded in the landscape, capturing the intensity of precarious living.
