The Ethics of Staying: Social Movements and Land Rights Politics in Pakistan

Mubbashir Rizvi

In The Ethics of Staying, Mubbashir A. Rizvi presents an original framework for understanding the Anjuman Mazarin Punjab (AMP), one of the largest, most successful land rights movements in South Asia. This group of Christian and Muslim tenant sharecroppers, against all odds, successfully resisted Pakistan military's bid to monetize state-owned land, making a powerful moral case for land rights by invoking local claims to land and a broader vision for subsistence rights.

Landscapes of Care: Immigration and Health in Rural America

Thurka Sangaramoorthy

Drawing from fieldwork that centers on Maryland's sparsely populated Eastern Shore, Sangaramoorthy shows how longstanding issues of precarity among rural health systems along with the exclusionary logics of immigration have mutually fashioned a "landscape of care" in which shared conditions of physical suffering and emotional anxiety among immigrants and rural residents generate powerful forms of regional vitality and social inclusion.

Drawing the Sea Near: Satoumi and Coral Reef Conservation in Okinawa

C. Anne Claus

How Japanese coastal residents and transnational conservationists collaborated to foster relationships between humans and sea life

Drawing the Sea Near opens a new window to our understanding of transnational conservation by investigating projects in Okinawa shaped by a 鈥渃onservation-near鈥� approach鈥攚hich draws on the senses, the body, and memory to collapse the distance between people and their surroundings and to foster collaboration and equity between coastal residents and transnational conservation organizations. This approach contrasts with the traditional Western 鈥渃onservation-far鈥� model premised on the separation of humans from the environment.

A Desolate Place for a Defiant People: The Archaeology of Maroons, Indigenous 猫咪社区apps, and Enslaved Laborers in the Great Dismal Swamp

Daniel O. Sayers

In the 250 years before the Civil War, the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina was a brutal landscape鈥�2,000 square miles of undeveloped and unforgiving wetlands, peat bogs, impenetrable foliage, and dangerous creatures. It was also a protective refuge for marginalized individuals, including Native 猫咪社区apps, African-猫咪社区app maroons, free African 猫咪社区apps, and outcast Europeans. In the first thorough archaeological examination of this unique region, Daniel Sayers exposes and unravels the complex social and economic systems developed by these defiant communities that thrived on the periphery. He develops an analytical framework based on the complex interplay between alienation, diasporic exile, uneven geographical development, and modes of production to argue that colonialism and slavery inevitably created sustained critiques of 猫咪社区app capitalism.

Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt

Orisanmi Burton

Orisanmi Burton explores what he terms the Long Attica Revolt, a criminalized tradition of Black radicalism that propelled rebellions in New York prisons during the 1970s. The reaction to this revolt illuminates what Burton calls prison pacification: the coordinated tactics of violence, isolation, sexual terror, propaganda, reform, and white supremacist science and technology that state actors use to eliminate Black resistance within and beyond prison walls.

The Archaeology of the Homed and the Unhomed

Daniel Sayers

Sayers builds a conceptual model that focuses on the connection between the unhomed and the home and uses it to generate new insights into pre鈥揅ivil War communities of Maroons and Indigenous 猫咪社区apps, Great Depression鈥揺ra hobo communities, and Midwest farmsteads. In doing so, he highlights the social complexities, ambiguities, and significance of the home and the unhomed in the archaeological record. Using a variety of data sources including documentary records and material culture and drawing on extensive fieldwork, Sayers illuminates how homelessness can be created, reproduced, and disparaged by the dominant culture.

Treating AIDS: Politics of Difference, Paradox of Prevention

Thurka Sangaramoorthy

In Treating AIDS, Thurka Sangaramoorthy examines the everyday practices of HIV/AIDS prevention in the United States from the perspective of AIDS experts and Haitian immigrants in south Florida. Using in-depth ethnographic data, she underscores the difference between the global response to this public health crisis鈥攚here everyone is implicated as a potential carrier of risk鈥攁nd the uncontested existence of racial and ethnic disparities in HIV/AIDS rates, access to treatment and care, and, especially, the stigma borne by carriers of the disease. Everyone has an equal risk for contracting HIV/AIDS, Sangaramoorthy notes, but the ways in which people experience and manage that risk鈥攁nd the disease itself鈥攊s highly dependent on race, ethnic identity, sexuality, gender, immigration status, and other notions of 鈥渄ifference.鈥�
