Abstract: Roza was born and raised in Van, a predominantly Kurdish city in east Turkey.1 At age 27, she started working as an architect at the urban planning department of the Van Metropolitan Municipality, which was at the time run by the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (Barış ve Demokrasi Partisi). Not only did she get a respectful and well-paying job as a first-generation college graduate—and a Kurdish woman she would add—but the fact that she was now serving in the local government of Bekir Kaya, a Kurdish politician she admired, was a source of great pride to Roza as well as to her family.Bekir Kaya’s career not only traces the sweep of Kurdish political history, but there is also something definingly particular ...

Abstract: This article stems from on-campus ethnography that I conducted for several years with my local, large US public state university undergraduate student chapter of Liberty in North Korea (hereafter, LiNK). As an international humanitarian organization with offices in Long Beach, California, and in Seoul, LiNK aims to help lead North Korean refugees1 who have fled across the border to China, where they are potentially subject to arrest and forcible return to North Korea (see Seymour 2006), to a third country, usually in Southeast Asia, and from there to assist them in overcoming bureaucratic hurdles to permanent resettlement, most commonly in South Korea. This work, characterized by the group as a “modern-day ... Read More

Abstract: Peru does not have a caviar industry to speak of. One can apparently buy Uruguayan caviar from an importer in Lima, or maybe come across the delicacy in one of the capital city’s more exclusive restaurants, but you would be hard pressed to find the item even in upscale markets in districts like Miraflores and San Isidro. Peruvian fish egg consumption typically comes in the form of hueveras fritas (fried fish roe), a food that is not associated with elite status by any means. Occasionally one might find a dusting of “caviar” on a plate at a fancy cevichería, but a connoisseur or an industry specialist would be quick to point out that it’s not really caviar.The predominant use of “caviar” in Peru does not relate to ...

Abstract: I review this book from Accra, Ghana, where I am researching the aftermath of the demolition of Agbogbloshie, the infamous e-waste site in Accra, popularly known as the world’s largest e-waste dumpsite. In the summer of 2021, as part of the Greater Accra Regional Ministry’s campaign of #letsmakeAccrawork, the site was violently torn down amid armed military and police presence, and economic activities there were brought to a halt. What appears to be a complete erasure had precedents in evictions and similar demolitions in 1993, 2002, 2004, and 2015. Reading Doherty’s Waste worlds in the here and now of Agbogbloshie’s very own morally charged rhetoric of urban decongestion, displacement, economic precarity, and ... Read More

Abstract: A mid global Land Back movements and Indigenous assertions of sovereignty in the face of settler colonialism, Mareike Winchell’s After Servitude examines the ongoing struggle to achieve justice in the wake of colonial violence and Indigenous dispossession in Bolivia. Following the election of Evo Morales in 2005, Bolivia’s Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party re-centered land reform as a means to redress the legacies of racialized servitude epitomized by the country’s former hacienda system. Those efforts built on revolutionary and reformist projects dating back to the early 20th century, which sought to end the unpaid, obligatory servitude known as pongueaje that pervaded large rural estates, alongside other ...

Abstract: Towards the end of the book, Mol offers an example taken from her fieldwork at a food conference for healthcare professionals. In it, a researcher presents a paper that argues that humans, even those in affluent places like Europe, should eat more protein. When asked about the earthly repercussions of such a diet, the researcher responds that this is outside of his domain; that is, the effect of increased protein on the earth and the future of humanity is a political issue (131). As a quick, direct example, this interaction speaks to the heart of this book: how do we live on an earth as it is existentially threatened by human action'This broader frame animates Mol’s feminist critique of human exceptionalism.

Abstract: Manufacturing Celebrity is an ethnography of the celebrity media industry based in Los Angeles, with an emphasis on the precarious work of paparazzi and celebrity reporters working with magazines such as People and Us weekly. The book contributes to the existing literature on precarious labour in the American media industries as well as the broader field of media anthropology. It is divided into three main parts covering the labour of Latino paparazzi, the labour of white female celebrity reporters, and the content of celebrity magazines. Chapter 1 is an engaging ethnography of the everyday work of Latino paparazzi in Los Angeles, while Chapter 2 delves into the overall political economy of paparazzi images. With ... Read More

Abstract: Their land claims having been contested, lost, but lately reinstated in some cases, during the past several decades, Pacific peoples living in settler colonial states have sought to re-assert and reclaim nothing less than the legitimacy, authority, and moral agency of their indigenous identities. Cultural sovereignty movements promoting the teaching of Polynesian vernaculars and dances, the reinvention of technologies, such as outrigger canoes, and the restoration and protection of sacred sites, have been strong voices in broad opposition to political subordination and exploitation. However sympathetic cultural anthropology should and must be to them, particularly in light of their long history of land alienation ... Read More

Abstract: The biggest difference between our swim club and the gay bar scene is that we meet sober during the day. It shows that a healthy gay lifestyle is possible.One Saturday afternoon in spring of 2009, I stood with a group of 70 gay men in a clearing on Mt. Chilbo in Chŏlla Province. Below us stretched a vista of pine trees and gray rocks as far as the eye could see. As members of an online group called Gay (Eban) Hiking, we had left Seoul at 7 am that morning on two buses to attend this one-day trip. The weather had been foggy as we drove by Korean ginseng fields with black tarps stretched across them on wooden sticks. By late afternoon, however, the fog had cleared up, and it turned out to be a beautiful day.As we ... Read More

Abstract: I was drinking a tea in the neighbourhood of Karaköy, in Istanbul, together with Füsun1, the 38-year-old daughter of a communist militant, who had been imprisoned in the wake of the Turkish 1980–1983 military coup. I was at the beginning of my fieldwork and Füsun was telling me about her relationship with her father, who had died some years before: “My father often met up at home with his old revolutionary friends. They locked the door of the room, drank rakı, listened to songs about Deniz Gezmiş [a revolutionary leader hanged in 1972], evoked their youth, and cried. I was a child and I loved sneaking into these gatherings.” Looking at the Bosphorus, she added: “My father was very nostalgic for his revolutionary ... Read More

Abstract: By the time Takoda was two years old, my life had dropped out of sync with the lives of those around me. Repeat visits to the hospital, frequent appointments with specialists and habilitation therapists, his discomfort in social spaces and planning life around his sensory needs, it all amounted to a lifestyle that barely resembled my former one. I found myself in a land of shadow between the known and unknowable. A strong sense of estrangement from the world and others accompanied my experience. Fellow new parents seemed to be moving in the opposite direction, celebrating their babies’ learning and achievements.When visiting family and friends, Takoda would lay on the floor happily watching the other babies as ...
