Negotiating Pharmaceutical Politics and Ethics
ISBN: 9783838383965 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thailand and Brazil have similarly employed the methods of an "activist state" in attempting to provide free, universal access to antiretroviral medication to their citizens. While a specific alignment of social, political, and economic factors in Brazil enabled a description of its mode of medical activism as a "tool of new democratic politics and ethics," the divergent nature of these forces in Thailand problematize not only the extension of this description to Thai AIDS activism, but also the relationship between democracy and "biological citizenship." Through ethical processes of...

Cultural Paradigms and Political Change in the Caucasus
ISBN: 9783838388564 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Situated between Europe and Asia and affording classic example of the "clash of civilizations", the Caucasus contains socio-cultural and ethnic complexities which have often created contradictions between official political allegiances and the cultural practices of local communities. Perhaps this can explain why Christian Georgians and Muslim Chechens and Kists of the Caucasian highlands have considered each other brothers, worshipped the same deities and celebrated the same religious holidays, despite the political and religious dissent between their representative political organizations....

Affinity Groups
ISBN: 9783838384924 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Student ethnic organizations have become widespread at colleges and universities, yet few studies examine ethnic identity on campus. Their existence assumes commonality among members, yet, in fact, students come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This work examines how groups negotiate their differences to create a common identity and maintain cohesion. My study of three Affinity Groups at Haverford College finds that maintaining cohesion is a constant, active process. By emphasizing shared symbols or experiences, or at least the shared perception that such symbols and experiences...

Subverting and Supporting the Government of the Day
ISBN: 9783838383408 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On April 23rd 2008, in the Kono District of Sierra Leone, hundreds of young people invaded a company-held sand dump, and began to load diamondiferous sand into buckets and onto trucks. This was done in defiance of both the company and the government. They continued this illegal action for five days as their numbers multiplied, until overpowered by the police and military. Clashes broke out and degenerated into general violence and vandalism in nearby Koidu city that lasted for several days. At first glance this bold and defiant act appears to add to the body of evidence of the changing...

The arrival of Vietnamese refugee boat people on Australias northern shore in the late 1970s heralded a seminal event in Australian history.

This ethnography attempts to captures this highly formative period in Australian history by registering through the eyes of Vietnamese Australians, how Vietnamese and other Australians mirror and come to terms with what it is to be Australian.

Iron Smelting in Wollega, Ethiopia
ISBN: 9783838361369 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On the discourse regarding iron smelting technology in Africa, it is known that two major classifications of the furnaces are made. Unlike this, iron smelting at Walagee in Wollega has been undertaken in a pit furnace, not ethnographically observed clearly in other parts of Africa. The ethnoarchaeology of iron production at Walagee locality of Wollega is entirely dealt with the reenactment of activities leading to the transformation of natural inputs to cultural products such as a bloom. It has therefore achieved in rewinding the technological and social processes accompanying ...
