Named after the Respecting Aboriginal Values and Environmental Needs (RAVEN) nonprofit organization, The RAVEN Essays is an anthology that celebrates a decade of prize-winning student essays. Since 2012, RAVEN has awarded an annual essay prize to honour students who champion the vital importance of Indigenous rights and self-determination, both in Canada and globally. The essays featured in this collection highlight exceptional student work while reflecting on the evolving relationship between Indigenous politics and academia. From issues like fishing rights and the Trans Mountain Pipeline to challenges of sexism and conservation policy, these essays capture a transformative period in Indigenous struggles, offering insights that resonate far beyond the Canadian settler state. The anthology also includes contributions from prominent scholars such as Glen Coulthard, Dara Culhane, Michael Fabris, Sarah Hunt, and Heather Dorries. Five complementary essays explore various aspects of structural change, institutional constraints, and broader commitments to Indigenous knowledge within university settings. Aimed at readers in Indigenous law, environmental studies, anthropology, and geography, The RAVEN Essays is a book created by students for students, and by academics for the academy. Together, the contributors reflect on the powerful formation and enactment of Indigenous law, environmental stewardship, place-based knowledge, pedagogy, and literacy - both within the academy and in the broader community, across land, water, and culture.

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.

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.

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 ¥6,325.- (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.

Cordis, Shanya / Berry, Maya J. et al. (eds.), Fugitive Anthropology: Embodying Activist Research. 344 pp. 2026:1 (U. Texas Pr., US) <752-1067>

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.

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.

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.

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 ¥17,952.- (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>

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.
