The Routledge Handbook of Anthropology and the City provides a comprehensive study of current and future urban issues on a global and local scale. Premised on an ‘engaged’ approach to urban anthropology, the volume adopts a thematic approach that covers a wide range of modern urban issues, with a particular focus on those of high public interest. Topics covered include security, displacement, social justice, privatisation, sustainability, and preservation. Offering valuable insight into how anthropologists investigate, make sense of, and then address a variety of urban issues, each chapter covers key theoretical and methodological concerns alongside rich ethnographic case study material. The volume is an essential reference for students and researchers in urban anthropology, as well as of interest for those in related disciplines, such as urban studies, sociology, and geography.

A city of over one million people caught between volcanic eruptions and armed conflict, Goma has come to embody the ‘tragedy’ that is the Democratic Republic of Congo. Often portrayed by outsiders as a living hell, Goma is nevertheless a city of opportunity for others.Drawing on a rich tapestry of personal narratives, from taxi driver to market trader, doctor to local humanitarian worker, Goma: Stories of Strength and Sorrow from Eastern Congo provides an engaging and unconventional portrait of an African city.In contrast to the bleak pessimism which dominates much of the writing on Congo, Trefon and Kabuyaya instead emphasise the resilience, pragmatism and ingenuity which characterises so much of daily life in Goma. Resigned and hardened by struggle, the protagonists of the book give the impression that life is neither beautiful nor ugly, but an unending skirmish with destiny. In doing so, they offer startling insights into the social, cultural and political landscape of this unique city.

Les métropoles d'Afrique du Sud et du Nigeria sont réputées dangereuses, bidonvillisées et dominées par l'économie informelle. Peu est su en revanche de la manière dont les populations y sont triées, catégorisées et policées, en droite ligne avec les méthodes de réification ethnique et sociale de l’apartheid et de la période coloniale.À Johannesburg, au Cap, à Lagos et à Ibadan, les quatre villes où l’auteur a enquêté, un gouvernement du tri et de l’exclusion assigne des droits, des peines et des interdits à des catégories considérées comme problématiques (délinquants, jeunes, migrants, femmes seules, vendeuses de rue) ; des organisations non étatiques surveillent au quotidien les quartiers populaires, les gouvernent la nuit et usent de violence contre les jeunes ou les étrangers.De la rue au marché, de la gare routière au guichet de l’administration, s’instaure un maquis de petits arrangements qui contournent exclusions et discriminations. L’accès à ces lieux est en permanence contesté et négocié auprès d’individus en posture d’autorité (fonctionnaires, responsables syndicaux, parrains politiques, gouverneurs) par des habitants à la recherche d’un service, d’une autorisation, d’un document, d’un soutien, d’une place sur un marché ou à l’université.Dans cette réalité urbaine imprévisible qui échappe à la planification, individus et groupes sociaux modifient des pans essentiels de l’action publique par l’exclusion et la violence autant que par la négociation.

A NATION ON THE LINE is an ethnographic study of the call center industry in the Philippines and of its workforce composed of young, largely college-educated Filipinos. Padios merges several lines of inquiry about Pacific transnationalism, about the role of affective labor in global markets, and about critique of Filipino exploitation by the United States through economic and military power since independence-- in order to consider how post-colonial and post-industrial changes in the Philippines’ role in global capitalism and culture are brought to bear in everyday life. Padios argues that the call center industry serves as a rich case-study for how Filipinos work within hegemonic dynamics of relational service and an understanding of American consumer culture in ways that figure Filipinos' sense of identity and aspirations at the national and individual levels.

"We all wait -- in traffic jams, passport offices, school meal queues, for better weather, an end to fighting, peace. Time spent waiting produces hope, boredom, anxiety, doubt, or uncertainty. Ethnographies of Waiting explores the social phenomenon of waiting and its centrality in human society. Using waiting as a central analytical category, the book investigates how waiting is negotiated in myriad ways. Examining the politics and poetics of waiting, Ethnographies of Waiting offers fresh perspectives on waiting as the uncertain interplay between doubting and hoping, and asks "When is time worth the wait?" Waiting thus conceived is intrinsic to the ethnographic method at the heart of the anthropological enterprise. Featuring detailed ethnographies from Japan, Georgia, England, Ghana, Norway, Russia and the United States, a Foreword by Craig Jeffrey and an Afterword by Ghassan Hage, this is a vital contribution to the field of anthropology of time and essential reading for students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and philosophy."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Environmental Anthropology studies historic and present human-environment interactions. This volume illustrates the ways in which today's environmental anthropologists are constructing new paradigms for understanding the multiplicity of players, pressures, and ecologies in every environment, and the value of cultural knowledge of landscapes. This Handbook provides a comprehensive survey of contemporary topics in environmental anthropology and thorough discussions on the current state and prospective future of the field in seven key sections. As the contributions to this Handbook demonstrate, the subfield of environmental anthropology is responding to cultural adaptations and responses to environmental changes in multiple and complex ways. As a discipline concerned primarily with human-environment interaction, environmental anthropologists recognize that we are now working within a pressure cooker of rapid environmental damage that is forcing behavioural and often cultural changes around the world. As we see in the breadth of topics presented in this volume, these environmental challenges have inspired renewed foci on traditional topics such as food procurement, ethnobiology, and spiritual ecology; and a broad new range of subjects, such as resilience, nonhuman rights, architectural anthropology, industrialism, and education. This volume enables scholars and students quick access to both established and trending environmental anthropological explorations into theory, methodology and practice. (Provided by publisher)

These ethnographically-based studies of diverse urban experiences across the world present cutting edge research and stimulate an empirically-grounded theoretical reconceptualization. The essays identify ethnography as a powerful tool for making sense of life in our rapidly changing, complex cities. They stress the point that while there is no need to fetishize fieldwork—or to view it as an end in itself —its unique value cannot be overstated. These active, engaged researchers have produced essays that avoid abstractions and generalities while engaging with the analytical complexities of ethnographic evidence. Together, they prove the great value of knowledge produced by long-term fieldwork to mainstream academic debates and, more broadly, to society.

Modern Asian Design provides a comprehensive introduction to the development of Asian design in the modern period, tracing historical threads and offering a theoretical framework within which to chart the history of design in Asia. Rather than a singular 'Asian history', the book presents a series of studies centred on trade routes, colonial relationships, regional networks and cross-cultural exchanges. Modern Asian Design builds on existing resources beyond design history in an effort to map the field, focusing particularly on relations between Asia and the West, and also across Asian design cultures. Opening with a brief overview of trade and exchange networks in the 17th and 18th centuries, the bulk of this study comprises analysis of the development of modern design in Asia during the 19th and early 20th centuries, a period of rapid modernization. The book's final chapters bring these central ideas into a contemporary and highly relevant context.

C'est dans la conjoncture de l'après Deuxième Guerre mondiale et de la conférence de Bandung (1955) qu'émerge le paradigme postcolonial, courant d'idées qui accompagne l'entrée sur la scène internationale des pays décolonisés dits du "Tiers Monde" . Dans leurs critiques de la domination occidentale, le ou les postcolonialisme(s) ont mis en avant la traite esclavagiste transatlantique et la colonisation. Progressivement, une théorie plus radicale s'est imposée : la "pensée décoloniale" , qui fait remonter à la découverte des Amériques, en 1492, la mise en oeuvre d'une nouvelle formule de domina¬tion sociale et d'exploitation économique, désormais indexée sur la notion de race. A partir de leurs itinéraires respectifs, le philosophe Souleymane Bachir Diagne et l'anthropologue Jean-Loup Amselle dialoguent sur des questions cruciales qui engagent les rapports entre l'Afrique et l'Occident : l'universalisme, les spécificités culturelles et linguistiques africaines, le soufisme ouest-africain, le panafricanisme. Ces échanges reposent sur la conviction partagée que toutes les entreprises qui visent à établir une communication entre les différentes cultures humaines de notre planète sont salutaires, car elles permettront d'abattre les barrières réelles ou imaginaires qui fragmentent notre monde.
