No Billionaire Left BehindSatirical Activism in AmericaAngelique HaugerudNo Billionaire Left Behind is a compel-ling investigation into how satirical activists tackle two of the most conten-tious topics in contemporary American political culture: the increasingly profound division of wealth in America, and the role of big money in electoral politics. Anthropologist and author Angelique Haugerud deftly charts the evolution of a group named the Billionaires—a prominent network of satirists and activists who make a mock-ery of wealth in America—along with other satirical groups and figures to puzzle out their impact on politics and public opinion. In the spirit of popular programs like The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, the Billionaires demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of economics and public affairs through the lens of satire and humor.

“This hilarious book addresses today’s most pressing issues—social justice, skewed distributions of wealth and income, movements for change—and brilliantly reveals how whacky activists challenge the establishment and overly serious protest movements.”—Marc Edelman, Hunter College and the CUNY

ZoolandThe Institution of CaptivityIrus BravermanZoos have their ardent supporters and their vocal detractors. And while we all have opinions on what zoos do, few people consider how they do it. Irus Braverman draws on more than sixty interviews conducted with zoo managers and administra-tors, as well as animal activists, to offer a glimpse into the otherwise unknown complexities of zooland.

Drawing on studies of the panopticon and pastoral care and the methods of science and technology studies, this book illuminates the project of governing zoo animals. And in so doing, it makes surprising intercon-nections between our understandings of the human and the nonhuman.

“Beautifully written, finely researched, astutely argued, Zooland offers a wealth of stories, data, and views to understand the potent work of zoos and their life-propagating messiness, astonishing technologies, and detailed ordering of their captive subjects deemed wild.”—Donna Haraway, University of California at

Santa Cruz, author of When Species Meet

“Braverman has written a great book about zoos, maybe the best ever.”

3Political and Legal Anthropology

Back StoriesU.S. News Production and Palestinian PoliticsAmahl A. Bishara Amahl Bishara demonstrates how Palestinians play integral roles in producing U.S. news and how U.S. journalism in turn shapes Palestin-ian politics. U.S. objectivity is in Palestinian journalists’ hands, and Palestinian self-determination cannot be fully understood without atten-tion to the journalist standing off to the side, quietly taking notes. Back Stories examines news stories big and small to investigate urgent questions about objectivity, violence, the state, and the production of knowledge. This book reaches beyond the headlines into the lives of Palestin-ians during the second intifada to give readers a new vantage point on both Palestinians and journalism.

“Amahl Bishara breaks new ground in her exploration of Palestinian-Israeli-American dynamics of control, protest, and resistance. Her keen insights into the second intifada help us better understand two critical issues: what is happening on the ground in Palestine and how these events are being re-ported by the American media.”

Civic EngagementsThe Citizenship Practices of Indian and Vietnamese ImmigrantsCaroline B. Brettell and Deborah Reed-DanahayFor refugees and immigrants in the United States, expressions of citizen-ship and belonging emerge not only during the naturalization process but also during more informal, everyday activities in the community. Based on research in the Dallas–Arling-ton–Fort Worth area of Texas, this book examines the sociocultural spaces in which Vietnamese and Indian immigrants are engaging with the wider civic sphere.

“A thoughtful and enlightening book based on detailed ethnographic re-search in one of America’s new immi-grant gateways. Through wonderfully rich case studies and careful analysis, Civic Engagements provides impor-tant insights into how Vietnamese and Indian immigrants are learning to become American while also main-taining strong ethnic identities.”

—Nancy Foner, author of Across Generations: Immigrant

Families in America


Bazaar PoliticsPower and Pottery in an Afghan Market TownNoah Coburn

“Coburn explores and explains a strange paradox in Afghan politics: that local com-munities appear to have the means to maintain stability even when the national government does not. This is the first eth-nographic study published on post-2001 Afghanistan, and is highly recommended not only for those interested in Afghani-stan, but those seeking a new perspective on comparative politics more generally.”

The Migration ApparatusSecurity, Labor, and Policymaking in the European UnionGregory Feldman

“This book promises not only an anthro-pological and ethnographic approach to analyzing European Union (EU) migration policy but also tantalizes Fou-cauldians interested in the use of the concept of ‘apparatus’ in such a field.”

4 Stanford Studies in Human Rights | A series edited by Mark Goodale

Disquieting GiftsHumanitarianism in New DelhiErica BornsteinDisquieting Gifts takes a close look at people working on humanitarian projects in New Delhi to explore why they engage in philanthropic work, what humanitarianism looks like to them, and the ethical and political tangles they encounter.

Motivated by debates surrounding Marcel Mauss’s The Gift, Bornstein investigates specific cases of people engaged in humanitarian work to reveal different perceptions of assistance to strangers versus as-sistance to kin, how the impulse to give to others in distress is tempered by its regulation, suspicions about recipient suitability, and why the figure of the orphan is so valuable in humanitarian discourse.

“Bornstein has pioneered the holistic study of aid, and in this delicately craft-ed book she conveys deep insights into international and intra-Indian charity and volunteering. An impor-tant sequel to The Spirit of Development.”

—Jonathan Benthall, University College London


Values in TranslationHuman Rights and the Culture of the World BankGalit A. SarfatyValues in Translation analyzes the organizational culture of the World Bank and addresses the question of why it has not adopted a human rights framework. Academics and social advocates have typically focused on legal restrictions in the Bank’s Articles of Agreement. This work’s anthropological analysis sheds light on internal obstacles including the employee incentive system and a clash of expertise between lawyers and economists over how to define human rights and justify their relevance to the Bank’s mission.

“The book offers a unique inside study of the culture of the World Bank and how it affects the Bank’s attitudes to-ward human rights. It is an important book for those wanting to understand international organizations, human rights, and development.”

—Edith Brown Weiss, Georgetown University Law Center and Former President of the World

Campaigning for JusticeHuman Rights Advocacy in PracticeJo Becker Human rights advocates have had remarkable success establishing new international laws, securing concrete changes in policies and practices, and transforming the terms of public debate. Yet too often, the strategies these advocates have employed are not broadly shared. Written from a practitioner’s perspective, this book explores the strategies behind some of the most innovative human rights campaigns of recent years.

“A singular contribution to the literature on activism.”

—Elazar Barkan, Columbia University

“This book is a gold mine. It provides invaluable insights into how hu-man rights campaigns work, and distills lessons gleaned from dozens of veteran advocates. It illustrates the rich diversity of the human rights movement today, and will be a ter-rific resource not only for those just entering human rights work, but also for those with years of experience.”

5Stanford Studies in Human Rights | A series edited by Mark Goodale

Of Medicines and MarketsIntellectual Property and Human Rights in the Free Trade EraAngelina Snodgrass GodoyLooking at events in Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala, Angelina Godoy argues that human rights ad-vocates need to approach intellectual property law as more than simply a roster of regulations. IP represents the cutting edge of a global tendency to value all things in market terms: Life forms—from plants to human genetic sequences—are rendered commodities, and substances neces-sary to sustain life—medicines—are restricted to insure corporate profits. If we argue only over the terms of IP protection without confronting the underlying logic governing our trade agreements, then human rights ad-vocates will lose even when they win.

“Godoy admirably dissects the forces which have conspired to depoliticize both resistance to intellectual prop-erty expansion and the human rights rhetoric in which this is voiced. The book delivers insights that should transform advocacy and scholarship; it should be widely read and acclaimed.”

—Rosemary J. Coombe, York University

The Rise and Fall of Human RightsCynicism and Politics in Occupied PalestineLori AllenThe Rise and Fall of Human Rights provides a groundbreaking ethnographic investigation of the Palestinian human rights world—its NGOs, activists, and “victims,” as well as their politics, training, and discourse—since 1979. Though hu-man rights activity began as a means of struggle against the Israeli occupa-tion, it has since been professional-ized and politicized, transformed into a public relations tool for political legitimization and state-making.

“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been analyzed over and over again, but Lori Allen finds a genuinely new angle. This book achieves a rare bal-ance of shedding light on recent events in the Middle East while pro-ducing thought-provoking arguments for understanding the potentials and limitations of human rights claims in situations of prolonged armed conflict.”

—Tobias Kelly, University of Edinburgh


In the Wake of NeoliberalismCitizenship and Human Rights in ArgentinaKaren Ann FaulkThis book is concerned with the complex interrelationship of the discourse of human rights and the neoliberal project. In exploring how “rights talk” is used and adapted locally by various activist groups, the book looks at the mutually formative and contentious interactions between ideas of human rights, rights of citizenship, and the concrete and envisioned social relationships that form the basis for social activism in the wake of neoliberalism.

“A powerful and moving ethnographic work that fixes transnational concep-tions of human rights in the context of a global neoliberalism, grounded firmly in the history and society of Argentina. The book makes a valuable contribution to the interdisciplinary literature on human rights.”

—Daniel Goldstein, Rutgers University


6 Migration and Transnational Perspectives

Neoliberalism, InterruptedSocial Change and Contested Governance in Contemporary Latin AmericaEdited by Mark Goodale and Nancy PosteroIn the 1980s and 1990s, neoliberal forms of governance largely domi-nated Latin American political and social life. Neoliberalism, Interrupted examines the recent and diverse proliferation of responses to neolib-eralism’s hegemony. Deploying both ethnographic research and more synthetic reflections on meaning, consequence, and possibility, the essays focus on the ways in which a range of unresolved contradictions interconnect various projects for change and resistance to change in Latin America.

“This book will resonate with all those interested in one of the most im-portant political questions for Latin America today. The authors resist the temptation to provide easy answers—the essays are subtle and effective, their sophistication buttressed by empirical and theoretical rigor.”

—Sian Lazar, University of Cambridge


Governing Immigration Through CrimeA ReaderEdited by Julie A. Dowling and Jonathan Xavier IndaIn the United States, immigration is generally seen as a law and order issue. Amidst increasing anti-immigrant sentiment, unauthorized migrants have been cast as lawbreakers. Governing Immigration Through Crime offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the use of crime and punishment to manage undocumented immigrants.

“The belief that the United States is a welcoming nation of immigrants is still widely held, but this book presents us with a stark, alternative reality: manu-facturing crime and punishment is now the leading form of controlling undocu-mented immigration in the U.S. Offer-ing a set of thought-provoking essays, this important volume examines new mechanisms of governing immigration through the institutionalization of crimi-nalization, focused particularly around the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Crime and punishment is not only a Dosto-evskian moral tale of 19th century, but a dominant challenge of our time.”

—Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, University of Southern California


Resources for ReformOil and Neoliberalism in ArgentinaElana SheverExamining Argentina’s conversion from a state-controlled to a private oil market, Elana Shever reveals interconnections between large-scale transformations in society and small-scale shifts in everyday practice, inti-mate relationships, and identity. This engaging ethnography offers a window into the experiences of middle-class oil workers and their families, impoverished residents of shanty settlements bordering refineries, and affluent employees of transnational corporations as they struggle with rapid changes in the global economy, their country, and their lives. It reverberates far beyond the Argentine oil fields and offers a fresh approach to the critical study of neoliberalism, kinship, citizenship, and corporations.

“Delivers an intrinsically interesting story about oil and neoliberalism in a country where some of the loudest responses to neoliberalism have been heard. Shev-er takes a critical look at the oil industry and the practices of oil companies like Shell—providing a clear, compelling exploration of the multiple sides of neo-liberalism in Argentina.”

—Steve Striffler, University of New Orleans


7Migration and Transnational Perspectives

Global Futures in East AsiaYouth, Nation, and the New Economy in Uncertain TimesEdited by Ann Anagnost, Andrea Arai, and Hai Ren The East Asian economic miracle of the twentieth century is now a fond memory. What does it mean to be living in post-miracle times? For the youth of China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, the opportunities and challenges of the neoliberal age, deeply shaped by global forces in labor markets, powerfully frame their life prospects in ways that are barely recognizable to their parents.

Global Futures in East Asia gathers together ethnographic explorations of what its contributors call projects of

“life-making.” Here we see youth striving to understand themselves, their place in society, and their career opportunities in the nation, region, and world.

“A sophisticated set of ethnographic explorations of what it means to be a young person in contemporary East Asia, seeking a place in a world in mo-tion. A lively and important read.”

Moving MattersPaths of Serial MigrationSusan OssmanMoving Matters is a richly nuanced portrait of the serial migrant: a person who has lived in several countries, calling each one at some point “home.” The stories told here are both extraordi-nary and increasingly common. Serial migrants rarely travel freely—they must negotiate a world of territorial borders and legal restrictions—yet as they move from one country to another, they can use border-crossings as mo-ments of self-clarification. They often become masters of settlement as they turn each country into a life chapter. Susan Ossman follows this diverse and growing population not only to understand how paths of serial movement produce certain ways of life, but also to illuminate an ongo-ing tension between global fluidity and the power of nation-states.

“This deeply personal and subtle work both critiques and transcends the key concepts of writing about identity in re-cent decades. The precision and original-ity of Ossman’s exploration owe much to the richness of her fieldwork and research on individuals, including herself, who move from one, to another, and then another society in their lifetimes.”

—George Marcus, University of California, Irvine

The Latino ThreatConstructing Immigrants, Citizens, and the Nation, Second EditionLeo R. ChavezNews media and pundits too frequently perpetuate the notion that Latinos, particularly Mexicans, are an invading force bent on reconquering land once their own and destroying the American way of life. In this book, Leo R. Chavez contests this assumption’s basic tenets, offering facts to counter the many fictions about the “Latino threat.” With new discussion about anchor babies, the DREAM Act, and recent anti-immigrant legislation in Arizona and other states, this expanded second edition critically investigates the stories about recent immigrants to show how prejudices are used to malign an entire population—and to define what it means to be American.

Praise for the First Edition“A superb, well-argued, and thought provoking book. The book not only sheds a critical light on how, through the mass media, Latinos have been constructed as illegitimate members of society, it also provides powerful evidence to undermine the taken-for-granted truths marshaled to marginal-ize this population.”

When Half Is WholeMultiethnic Asian American IdentitiesStephen Murphy-ShigematsuIn this touching, introspective, and insightful exploration of mixed-race Asian American experiences, Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu shares stories of people of biracial and mixed ethnicity. Across twelve chapters, his reflections are interspersed among profiles of these people and accounts of their journeys to answer a seemingly simple question: Who am I? With its attention on people who have been regarded as “half” this or “half” that throughout their lives, these stories make vivid the process of becoming whole.

“A beautiful book, a near-perfect bridge of genres, scholarly in its insights, but rich in stories and the voices of mixed-race, complicatedly Asian individuals. Murphy Shigematsu tells their stories in prose that is like cool water running down hill. I read the book in one sitting. I will surely read it again when I need its wisdom, or when I just want to enjoy the company of Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu’s unique voice and his irenic spirit.”

Race DecodedThe Genomic Fight for Social JusticeCatherine BlissIn 2000, with the success of the Human Genome Project, scientists declared the death of race in biology and medicine. But within five years, many of these same scientists had reversed course and embarked upon a new hunt for the biological meaning of race. Drawing on per-sonal interviews and life stories, Race Decoded takes us into the world of elite genome scientists to show how and why they are formulating new ways of thinking about race.

“The ongoing debates about the role of race in biology, genetics, and clini-cal medicine have often produced more heat than light. Catherine Bliss takes us on a journey that is bound to illuminate an important and relatively unexplored feature of this phenom-enon—the ways in which leading scientists in these fields compare in their thinking about (and use of ) the concepts of race and ethnicity.”

Making the Chinese MexicanGlobal Migration, Localism, and Exclusion in the U.S.-Mexico BorderlandsGrace Peña DelgadoMaking the Chinese Mexican is the first book to examine the Chinese diaspora in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. It pres-ents a fresh perspective on immigration, nationalism, and racism through the experiences of Chinese migrants in the region during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Navigating the interlocking global and local systems of migration that underlay Chinese borderlands communities, the author situates the often-paradoxical existence of these communities within the turbu-lence of exclusionary nationalisms.

“A probing analysis of the interconnect-ed worlds that the Chinese in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands created, inhabited, and sometimes contested.”

Anxious WealthMoney and Morality Among China’s New RichJohn OsburgWho exactly are China's new rich? This pioneering investigation introduces readers to the private lives—and the nightlives—of the powerful entrepreneurs and managers redefining success and status in the city of Chengdu. Over the course of more than three years, anthropologist John Osburg accompanied, and in some instances assisted, wealthy Chinese businessmen as they courted clients, partners, and government officials. Drawing on his immersive experiences, Osburg invites readers to join him as he journeys through the new, highly gendered entertainment sites for Chinese businessmen, and details the complex code of behavior that governs businessmen as they go about banqueting, drinking, gambling, bribing, exchanging gifts, and obtaining sexual services.

“Osburg takes us into a world of deal-making and networking that is often, literally, hidden behind curtains and closed doors. This book is a must-read for people seeking to better understand how power operates in China today.”

—Amy Hanser, University of British Columbia


Chinese Labor in a Korean FactoryClass, Ethnicity, and Productivity on the Shop Floor in Globalizing ChinaJaesok KimThis illuminating ethnography draws on fieldwork in a multinational corpo-ration (MNC) in Qingdao, China, and delves deep into the power dynamics at play between Korean manage-ment, Chinese migrant workers, local-level Chinese government officials, and Chinese local gangs.

“This is an excellent example of a locally embedded globalization case, in which the author studies global production, the Chinese state and cultural negotia-tions of nationhood, ethnicity, culture and identity of the workers at the workplace.”—Pun Ngai, author of Made in China: Factory

Modern Girls on the GoGender, Mobility, and Labor in JapanEdited by Alisa Freedman, Laura Miller, and Christine R. YanoThis spirited and engaging multidis-ciplinary volume pins its focus on the lived experiences and cultural depictions of women’s mobility and labor in Japan. The theme of “modern girls” continues to offer a captivat-ing window into the changes that women’s roles have undergone during the course of the last century.

“From shop-girls to shinkansen em-ployees and athletes, these essays show women venturing out across the decades, with the meaning of ‘modern’ changing as the women themselves challenge the times in which they live. Through these pages, one can see how Japan’s ‘modern girls’ of the historical past still resonate in the present.”

Birth in the Age of AIDSWomen, Reproduction, and HIV/AIDS in IndiaCecilia Van HollenThis book is a vivid and poignant portrayal of the experiences of HIV-positive women in India during pregnancy, birth, and motherhood at the beginning of the 21st century. Based on research conducted by the author in India, it chronicles the experiences of women from the point of their decisions about whether to accept HIV testing, through their decisions about whether or not to continue with the birth if they test HIV-positive, their birthing experiences in hospitals, decisions and practices surrounding breast-feeding vs. bottle-feeding, and their hopes and fears for the future of their children.

“Poor pregnant women targeted by HIV-prevention programs in Tamil Nadu un-derstand their decisions about testing to signify empowerment, assert their superior maternity through the unlikely sacrifice of not breastfeeding, and mobilize power through HIV-support networks. Van Hollen’s meticulous and fascinating study reveals how ‘global’ health practices create unexpected local effects.”

11Religion and Culture

And Then We Work for GodRural Sunni Islam in Western TurkeyKimberly HartTurkey’s contemporary struggles with Islam are often interpreted as a conflict between religion and secularism played out most obviously in the split between rural and urban populations. The reality, of course, is more complicated than the assump-tions. Exploring religious expression in two villages, this book considers rural spiritual practices and describes a living, evolving Sunni Islam, influ-enced and transformed by local and national sources of religious orthodoxy.

“And Then We Work for God not only reveals that there is no one traditional Islam, but thoughtfully uncovers how the practice of rural Islam is intimately connected to changing visions of the state and religion in the rest of Turkey and the world.”
