In this lively ethnography Ian Condry interprets Japan's vibrant hip-hop scene, explaining how music and culture that originated halfway around the world is appropriated and remade in Tokyo clubs and recording studios. Illuminating different aspects of Japanese hip-hop, Condry chronicles how self-described "yellow B-Boys" express their devotion to "black culture," how they combine the figure of the samurai with American rapping techniques and gangsta imagery, and how underground artists compete with pop icons to define "real" Japanese hip-hop. He discusses how rappers manipulate the Japanese language to achieve rhyme and rhythmic flow and how Japan's female rappers struggle to find a place in a male-dominated genre. Condry pays particular attention to the messages of emcees, considering how their raps take on subjects including Japan's education system, its sex industry, teenage bullying victims turned schoolyard murderers, and even America's handling of the war on terror. Condry attended more than 120 hip-hop performances in clubs in and around Tokyo, sat in on dozens of studio recording sessions, and interviewed rappers, music company executives, music store owners, and journalists. Situating the voices of Japanese artists in the specific nightclubs where hip-hop is performed - what musicians and fans call the genba (actual site) of the scene - he draws attention to the collaborative, improvisatory character of cultural globalization. He contends that it was the pull of grassroots connections and individual performers rather than the push of big media corporations that initially energized and popularized hip-hop in Japan. Zeebra, DJ Krush, Crazy-A, Rhymester, and a host of other artists created Japanese rap, one performance at a time.

Forty years in, the War on Drugs has done almost nothing to prevent drugs from being sold or used, but it has nonetheless created a little-known surveillance state in America’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Arrest quotas and high-tech surveillance techniques criminalize entire blocks, and transform the very associations that should stabilize young lives—family, relationships, jobs—into liabilities, as the police use such relationships to track down suspects, demand information, and threaten consequences. Alice Goffman spent six years living in one such neighborhood in Philadelphia, and her close observations and often harrowing stories reveal the pernicious effects of this pervasive policing. Goffman introduces us to an unforgettable cast of young African American men who are caught up in this web of warrants and surveillance—some of them small-time drug dealers, others just ordinary guys dealing with limited choices. All find the web of presumed criminality, built as it is on the very associations and friendships that make up a life, nearly impossible to escape. We watch as the pleasures of summer-evening stoop-sitting are shattered by the arrival of a carful of cops looking to serve a warrant; we watch—and can’t help but be shocked—as teenagers teach their younger siblings and cousins how to run from the police (and, crucially, to keep away from friends and family so they can stay hidden); and we see, over and over, the relentless toll that the presumption of criminality takes on families—and futures. While not denying the problems of the drug trade, and the violence that often accompanies it, through her gripping accounts of daily life in the forgotten neighborhoods of America's cities, Goffman makes it impossible for us to ignore the very real human costs of our failed response—the blighting of entire neighborhoods, and the needless sacrifice of whole generations.

Mixed-blood urban Native peoples in Canada are profoundly affected by federal legislation that divides Aboriginal peoples into different legal categories. In this pioneering book, Bonita Lawrence reveals the ways in which mixed-blood urban Natives understand their identities and struggle to survive in a world that, more often than not, fails to recognize them. In "Real" Indians and Others Lawrence draws on the first-person accounts of thirty Toronto residents of Native heritage, as well as archival materials, sociological research, and her own urban Native heritage and experiences. She sheds light on the Canadian government's efforts to define Native identity through the years by means of the Indian Act and shows how policies such as residential schooling, loss of official Indian status, and adoption have affected Native identity. Lawrence looks at how Natives with "Indian status" react and respond to "nonstatus" Natives and how federally recognized Native peoples attempt to impose an identity on urban Natives. Drawing on her interviews with urban Natives, she describes the devastating loss of community that has resulted from identity legislation and how urban Native peoples have wrestled with their past and current identities. Lawrence also addresses the future and explores the forms of nation building that can reconcile the differences in experiences and distinct agendas of urban and reserve-based Native communities. Bonita Lawrence is an assistant professor of women's studies and Native studies at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. She recently co-edited (with Kim Anderson) Strong Women Stories: Native Vision and Community Survival.

《贫穷的本质:我们为什么摆脱不了贫穷》内容简介：他们曾被说成是白人的负担，是弱国劣政的牺牲者。他们是最底层的10亿人，生活在每天0.99美元的贫困线之下。数万亿美元的援助未能救他们于水火之中，他们，依然深陷贫穷的陷阱，前路不明……为什么贫穷，为什么穷人摆脱不了贫穷？这是《贫穷的本质:我们为什么摆脱不了贫穷》探讨的主要问题。《贫穷的本质:我们为什么摆脱不了贫穷》的两位作者在本书中探讨：为什么穷人吃不饱饭还要买电视？为什么他们的孩子即使上了学也不爱学习？为什么他们放着免费的健康生活不去享受，却要自己花钱买药？为什么他们能创业却难以守业？为什么大多数人认为小额信贷、穷人银行没什么效用？15年以来，为了弄清为什么会贫穷，贫穷又会导致哪些特定问题，从而不断让穷人陷入无法逃离“贫穷陷阱”的怪圈，《贫穷的本质》的两位作者深入五大洲多个国家的穷人世界，调查贫困人群最集中的18个国家和地区，从穷人的日常生活、教育、健康、创业、援助、政府、NGO等生活的多个方面，探寻贫穷真正的根源。同时，《贫穷的本质:我们为什么摆脱不了贫穷》也对关于贫穷的一些流行观点进行了反思，比如援助越多穷人的依赖性越强，外部援助不起作用等等。他们指出，多年来的扶贫政策大都以失败而告终，原因就在于人们对于贫穷的理解不够深刻，好钢没有用在刀刃上。《贫穷的本质:我们为什么摆脱不了贫穷》用大量实例，提出了一些实用性较强的建议，寻找那些经得起检验的扶贫方案，为政策制定者、慈善家、政治家及所有希望天下脱贫的人提供了重要指导。

What are the relationships between the self and fieldwork? How do personal, emotional and identity issues impact upon working in the field? This book argues that ethnographers, and others involved in fieldwork, should be aware of how fieldwork research and ethnographic writing construct, reproduce and implicate selves, relationships and personal identities. All too often research methods texts remain relatively silent about the ways in which fieldwork affects us and we affect the field. The book attempts to synthesize accounts of the personal experience of ethnography. In doing so, the author makes sense of the process of fieldwork research as a set of practical, intellectual and emotional accomplishments. The book is thematically arranged, and illustrated with a wide range of empirical material.

萨林斯是当代人类学大师，确立了人类学的新风范。他在本书中指出：资本主义的金钱理性，与斐济人、特罗布里恩德岛民的物质实践是殊途同归，只是更大文化价值体系的结果。特罗布里恩德岛民将一半收成送给了姐妹的丈夫，被我们认为是浪费时间和精力；但当我们逛商店时，选择鱼还是买回肉，其实也是一种无意识的习惯。所以，无论是西方还是非西方，理性只是文化的一种表述。理性与文化绝不是对立的。

How did the industrialized nations of North America and Europe come to be seen as the appropriate models for post-World War II societies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America? How did the postwar discourse on development actually create the so-called Third World? And what will happen when development ideology collapses? To answer these questions, Arturo Escobar shows how development policies became mechanisms of control that were just as pervasive and effective as their colonial counterparts. The development apparatus generated categories powerful enough to shape the thinking even of its occasional critics while poverty and hunger became widespread. 'Development' was not even partially 'deconstructed' until the 1980s, when new tools for analyzing the representation of social reality were applied to specific 'Third World' cases. Here Escobar deploys these new techniques in a provocative analysis of development discourse and practice in general, concluding with a discussion of alternative visions for a postdevelopment era. Escobar emphasizes the role of economists in development discourse - his case study of Colombia demonstrates that the economization of food resulted in ambitious plans, and more hunger. To depict the production of knowledge and power in other development fields, the author shows how peasants, women, and nature became objects of knowledge and targets of power under the 'gaze of experts'.

Few recent phenomena have proved as emblematic of our era, and as little understood, as globalisation. Are nation-states being transformed by globalisation into a single globalised economy? Do global cultural forces herald a postnational millennium? Tying ethnography to structural analysis, "Flexible Citizenship" explores such questions with a focus on the links between the cultural logics of human action and on economic and political processes within the Asia-Pacific, including the impact of these forces on women and family life.Explaining how intensified travel, communications, and mass media have created a trans-national Chinese public, Aihwa Ong argues that previous studies have mistakenly viewed trans-nationality as necessarily detrimental to the nation-state and have ignored individual agency in the large-scale flow of people, images, and cultural forces across borders. She describes how political upheavals and global markets have induced Asian investors, in particular, to blend strategies of migration and of capital accumulation and how these trans-national subjects have come to symbolise both the fluidity of capital and the tension between national and personal identities.Refuting claims about the end of the nation-state and about 'the clash of civilizations', Ong presents a clear account of the cultural logics of globalisation and an incisive contribution to the anthropology of Asia-Pacific modernity and its links to global social change. This pioneering investigation of trans-national cultural forms will appeal to those in anthropology, globalisation studies, postcolonial studies, history, Asian studies, Marxist theory, and cultural studies.

transformed". In the first part of the book, the author critically examines the historical and philosophical base of western research. Extending the work of Foucault, she explores the intersections of imperialism, knowledge and research. The second part of the book meets the urgent need for literature which validates various frustrations with various western paradigms, academic traditions and methodologies. In setting an agenda for planning and implementing indigenous research, the author shows how such programmes are part of the wider project of reclaiming control over indigenous ways of knowing and being.

格尔兹的学术历程可以分作三个阶段，即由初步显示对宗教生活和符号体验的兴趣，到对当时社会经济问题的兴趣，再到对符号和文化的重新关注；格尔兹在描述、地方性知识、文化理解等领域的研究方面都体现了“解释人类学”的基本意味，即肯定人类文化的基本特点是符号的和解释性的，并认为作为文化研究的人类学也是解释性的，由此他也被称为“反思人类学”的最早实践者。

Anthropology has two main tasks: to understand what it is to be human and to examine how humanity is manifested differently in the diversity of culture. These tasks have gained new impetus from the extraordinary rise of the digital. This book brings together several key anthropologists working with digital culture to demonstrate just how productive an anthropological approach to the digital has already become. Through a range of case studies from Facebook to Second Life to Google Earth, Digital Anthropology explores how human and digital can be defined in relation to one another, from avatars and disability; cultural differences in how we use social networking sites or practise religion; the practical consequences of the digital for politics, museums, design, space and development to new online world and gaming communities. The book also explores the moral universe of the digital, from new anxieties to open-source ideals. Digital Anthropology reveals how only the intense scrutiny of ethnography can overturn assumptions about the impact of digital culture and reveal its profound consequences for everyday life. Combining the clarity of a textbook with an engaging style which conveys a passion for these new frontiers of enquiry, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of anthropology, media studies, communication studies, cultural studies and sociology.

A 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title In People of the Saltwater, Charles R. Menzies explores the history of an ancient Tsimshian community, focusing on the people and their enduring place in the modern world. The Gitxaala Nation has called the rugged north coast of British Columbia home for millennia, proudly maintaining its territory and traditional way of life. People of the Saltwater first outlines the social and political relations that constitute Gitxaala society. Although these traditionalist relations have undergone change, they have endured through colonialism and the emergence of the industrial capitalist economy. It is of fundamental importance to this society to link its past to its present in all spheres of life, from its understanding of its hereditary leaders to the continuance of its ancient ceremonies. Menzies then turns to a discussion of an economy based on natural-resource extraction by examining fisheries and their central importance to the Gitxaalas' cultural roots. Not only do these fisheries support the Gitxaala Nation economically, they also serve as a source of distinct cultural identity. Menzies's firsthand account describes the group's place within cultural anthropology and the importance of its lifeways, traditions, and histories in nontraditional society today.

位于香港尖沙咀的重庆大厦，看上去十分老旧，在寸土寸金的香港闹市如同孤岛一般，但它是世界各地背包客的 廉价落脚点，是非洲、南亚商家的重要 交易场所。据估计，从重庆大厦出货的手机，大约占撒哈拉以南手机交易的20%。这种与中环所代表的香港全球化枢纽角色反差极大 的角色，被作者麦高登 称为“低端全球化”。本书通过引人入胜的故事，展现了大厦居民与国际商品、金钱、理念之间错综复杂的联系。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 这座被评为”全球化最佳案例“的大厦，收容的住客来自百多个不同国家，这些住客在这座“小联合国”如何互动，亦可成为一个“另类联合国”的田野调研。虽然重庆大厦就在香港的闹市中心，但内部运作自有其规律，和尖沙咀仿佛属于两个世界，成了特区中的特区。在重庆大厦活动的人，缩影了三千宇宙，那些寻求庇护的人，自然各有其传奇出处；慕名而来找廉价旅馆的游客，会发现香港对第三世界最包容的地方；依靠重庆大厦地下经济生存的异乡人，则往往有着比狮子山下更励志的故事。这些背景，令不同学科近年都对“重庆大厦学”趋之若鹜，令这座大厦在王家卫的《重庆森林》后，得到另一个身份被重构的契机。 ——沈旭辉 香港中文大学社会科学院副教授暨全球研究课程主任 重庆大厦是全球化的一个缩影，但有种不同的味道：它收容和养育了生存在跨国资本主义底层的微不足道的玩家。香港仍然是手提箱商人的平台，他们环游世界以牟取利益和业务联系。在经营香港的巨头们眼中，这栋大厦也许看起来危险破旧，但正如麦高登指出的，这是一个人们以最低预算进行商务旅行的天堂。任何想要探索全球资本主义软肋的人都应该阅读此书。 ——詹姆斯•华琛，哈佛大学人类学系教授

Anderson, Current Anthropology “此书堪称医学人类学界长期以来所期盼的最重要的一本著作。” ——Richard Shweder, Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry “一本视野宽广、发人深省的医学人类学著作。” ——Roy Porter, Times Literary Supplement “对跨文化精神医学具有重要贡献。” ——Paul Chodoff, M.D., Journal of the American Medical Association “本书的田野研究写作精美，以至于历史学家都不断被其描述的中国共产主义政治实践中的那些重要时刻所吸引。作者以丰富细腻的笔触描写了中国人的社会关系，童年以及成长过程中出现的那些问题。” ——Jonathan Spence, Yale University “这是到目前为止我们对中国精神健康问题的最好的研究。这是一本具有开创意义的著作。” ——Ezra F. Vogel, Harvard University

The Pastoral Clinic takes us on a penetrating journey into an iconic Western landscape--northern New Mexico's Española Valley, home to the highest rate of heroin addiction and fatal overdoses in the United States. In a luminous narrative, Angela Garcia chronicles the lives of several Hispano addicts, introducing us to the intimate, physical, and institutional dependencies in which they are entangled. We discover how history pervades this region that has endured centuries of material and cultural dispossession, and we come to see its heroin problem as a contemporary expression of these conditions, as well as a manifestation of the human desire to be released from them. Lyrically evoking the Española Valley and its residents through conversations, encounters, and recollections, The Pastoral Clinic is at once a devastating portrait of addiction, a rich ethnography of place, and an eloquent call for a new ethics of care.

持续至今的真实“北漂”史。转型中的中国城市、流动人口、经济与社会。北京“浙江村”与“浙江村人”三十年生活记录研究。 “浙江村”，20世纪80年代起渐次于北京天安门以南5公里的 南苑地 区汇聚成形。30年来，其经济生产与社会再生产的特殊面貌、内部空间与外部环境的互动演变，已成为研究改革开放以来中国流动人口与城市社会经济发展，体制、权力与政策的鲜活样本。 作者借同乡之便，于90年代中期6年时间里对“浙江村”进行实地调查，深入“浙江村人”的日常生活，以近乎白描的写作手法，细致呈现了“浙江村”这一流动群体的落地、发展和变化中的诸多细节。对于“浙江村”的形成、结构、运作、变迁，“浙江村人”作为“外来人口”在北京的生活、生产经营、乡情民愿、与流入地及户籍所在地管理部门的互动等等，均加以极近距离的分析记录。 本书时隔20年后修订再版，除对前版内容进行补充订定外，于新增序言部分特别回顾了“浙江村”和中国社会自2000年以来的变化，对“正规化”及“分割—攫取模式”进行了分析阐述。同时为便于历史比照，增绘了2017年“浙江村”疏解前分布示意图。
