(Re)presenting Identities in Tatarstan
ISBN: 9783639130430 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The aim of this thesis is to encourage the multidimensional approach in the study of social identities. 'Identisation' is presented as an amalgamation of factors, forces and interests that should not be analysed in isolation or reduced to a mono-causal approach. These theoretical claims are based on an in-depth and long term empirical exploration of the processes of identisation in the specific institutional context of Tatar and non-Tatar gymnasias (secondary schools) in the Republic of Tatarstan, part of the Russian Federation. Data generation consisted of semi-structured and unstructured...

Ilongot Headhunting 1883-1974: A Study in Society and History
ISBN: 9780804712842 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study, a history of the kind of people who are supposed to have one, challenges the fashionable view that so-called primitives live in a timeless present. The conventional wisdom, that such societies are static, is shown by the author to be an artifact of anthropological method. By piecing together extended oral histories and written history records, the author found that headhunting among the Ilongots of Northern Luzon, Philippines, was not an unchanging ancient custom, but a cultural practice that has shifted dramatically over the course of the past century. Headhunting stopped,...

Matters of Choice: Puerto Rican Women's Struggle for Reproductive Freedom
ISBN: 9780813543734 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sterilization remains one of the most popular forms of fertility control in the world, but it has received little acknowledgment for decreasing birthrates on account of its dubious use as a means of population control, especially in developing countries.
In Matters of Choice, Iris Lopez presents a comprehensive analysis of the dichotomous views that have portrayed sterilization either as part of a coercive program of population control or as a means of voluntary, even liberating, fertility control by individual women. Drawing upon her twenty-five years of research on sterilized Puerto...

Homelands lost and gained
ISBN: 9783639144345 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addresses several key questions related
to archaeological research on migration and to the processes that follow human translocations. A holistic and contextual approach to the studies of migration in the past is proposed and tested on a case study of early medieval Slavic migration to the island of Bornholm (Denmark). The analyses form the basis for a discussion on the possible effects of resettlement on the creation of immigrant identity, immigrants perception of themselves, and their positioning between the homelands that they have recently lost and the new landscapes...

Scripted Clashes
ISBN: 9783639149968 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study of collective uprisings in the past has
suffered from an intellectual tradition that tends to equate social protest with crowd behavior --- a form of sociopathology endemic in societies experiencing social breakdown. This study challenges that perspective. In looking at the three people power uprisings in the Philippines which occurred over a time period of fifteen years, this book employs a Goffmanian framework to explain the quasi-religious and festive character of these uprisings. They are "dramaturgical productions", each one governed by an underlying script. Two... The study of collective uprisings in the past has

facto (but not de jure) indigenous peoples. As ethnic minorities Adivasis are not recognised as equal in their socio-cultural distinctiveness and, as a result, suffer widespread human rights violations and are the target of misguided development schemes. The most pressing issue is the loss of control over land as, under the banner of national development, Adivasi land is being opened up for resource extraction. Adivasis are literally "thrown out" of the forest, which is integral to their indigenous identity, while for centuries they were... The highly heterogeneous Adivasi represent Indias de
