Photography for Everyone

Te Cultural Lives o Cameras andConsumers in Early wentieth-Century JapanKERRY ROSS

Te Japanese passion or photographyis almost a cliché, but how did itbegin? Tis book is the first to dem-onstrate how photography became aneveryday activity.

Kerry Ross examines the magazines

and merchandise promoted toordinary Japanese people in the earlytwentieth century that allowed con-sumers to participate in that liestyle,and to define its contours. Rossdiscusses different acets o this phe-nomenon, rom the revolution in retailcamera shops, to socially constructivehow-to manuals and the vocabularyo popular aesthetics that developedrom enthusiasts sharing photos. Rosslooks at the quotidian activities that

went into the entire picture-makingprocess, such as shopping or a camera,reading photography magazines, andeven preserving one’s pictures inalbums. Tese activities embeddedthe camera in everyday lie as botha consumer object and a technologyor understanding modernity, makingit the irresistible enterprise thatEastman encountered in whenhe remarked that the Japanese peoplewere “almost as addicted to the Kodak

habit as ourselves.”256 pp., 20159780804795647 Paper $24.95 $19.96 sale9780804794237 Cloth $85.00 $68.00 sale

ANTHONY CHRISTIAN OCAMPO

Is race only about skin color? AnthonyChristian Ocampo draws rom thenarratives o Filipinos in Los Angelesto show that “color” depends largelyon social context. Filipinos helpedestablish the Asian American move-ment and are classified by the Censusas Asian, but cultural residue rom

EDWARD F. FISCHER

What could middle-class Germansupermarket shoppers buying eggsand impoverished coffee armers inGuatemala possibly have in common?Both groups use the market in pursuito the “good lie.” But what exactlyis the good lie? How do we definewellbeing beyond material standards

o living? While we all may want to livethe good lie, we differ widely on justwhat that entails.

In Te Good Lie, Edward Fischerexamines wellbeing in very differentcultural contexts to uncover sharednotions o the good lie and how bestto achieve it. With ascinating on-the-ground narratives o Germans’ choicesregarding the purchase o eggs andcars, and Guatemalans’ trade in coffee

Trough rich and captivating accounts,Deborah James reveals the varied waysin which middle- and working-classSouth Aricans’ access to credit is boundup with identity, status-making, andaspiration. She draws out the deeplyprecarious nature o both the aspira-tions and the economic relations o debtwhich sustain her subjects, revealingthe shadowy side o indebtedness andits potential to produce new orms ooppression and disenranchisement.

cally redefine themselves—rom Gorkhato tribal and back. But not all orms odifference are legible in the eyes o thestate. Te Gorkhas’ search or recogni-tion has only amplified these communi-ties’ anxieties about who they are—andwho they must be—i they are to attainrights, autonomy, and belonging.

The Emotional Politics

of RacismHow Feelings rump Facts inan Era o ColorblindnessPAULA IOANIDE

With stop-and-risk laws, new im-migration policies, and cuts to socialwelare programs, majorities in theUnited States have increasingly sup-ported intensified orms o punishmentand marginalization against Black,Latino, Arab, and Muslim people in theUnited States. With this book, PaulaIoanide examines how emotion hasprominently figured into these contem-porary expressions o racial discrimina-tion and violence. How U.S. publicsdominantly eel about crime, terrorism,welare, and immigration ofen seemsto trump whatever acts and evidencesay about these politicized matters.

Ioanide uses our case studies—thepolice brutality case o Abner Louima;

torture at Abu Ghraib; the demolitiono New Orleans public housing unitsollowing Hurricane Katrina; and aproposed municipal ordinance to denyhousing to undocumented immigrantsin Escondido, CA—to show how racialears are perpetuated, and how theyhave played a central role in justiyingthe expansion o our military andprison systems.

An Obituary or the InterventionNOAH COBURN

Te U.S.-led intervention in Aghanistanmobilized troops, unds, and peopleon a level not seen since World War II.Hundreds o thousands o individualsand tens o billions o dollars flowed in.And yet, it’s unclear what was gainedrom this effort—or Aghanistan or orthe international community that ootedthe bill. Trough the stories o our

individuals—an ambassador, a NavySEAL, a young Aghan businessman,and an engineer trying to promote windenergy—Noah Coburn weaves a vividaccount o the challenges and contradic-tions o lie under the intervention.

“ Losing Aghanistan provides a uniquewindow into the longest, most costly U.S.and international intervention since theSecond World War. Having spent over adecade researching and writing about A- ghanistan, Coburn illuminates the chasmbetween what ordinary Aghans thinkand want, and what international actorsassume and do, and the rustration anddisillusionment that resulted.”

Security and Surveillance in Gazaunder Egyptian Rule

ILANA FELDMAN

Troughout the twenty years o itsadministration (–), Egyptianpolicing o Gaza concerned itsel notonly with crime and politics, but alsowith control o social and moral order.Trough surveillance, interrogation,and a network o local inormants, thepolice extended their reach across the

public domain and into private lie,seeing Palestinians as both securitythreats and vulnerable subjects whoneeded protection. Security practicesproduced suspicion and saety simul-taneously.

Police Encounters explores theparadox o Egyptian rule. Drawingon a rich and detailed archive o dailypolice records, the book describes anextensive security apparatus guided by

intersecting concerns about nationalinterest, social propriety, and everydayillegality. In pursuit o security, Egyp-tian policing established a relativelysae society, but one that also blockedindependent political activity.

on witter. And civilians encounterstate violence on their newseeds andmobile screens.

“ Digital Militarism is a pioneering book,showing how inormation and com-munication technologies have turnedinto wartime arsenals, and the Internetand social networks into digital battle- fields. Just when one thinks that all hasbeen said about the Israeli/Palestinianconflict, a totally original perspectiveemerges. A must-read.”

Negev Landscapes and theBoundaries o Belonging

EMILY MCKEE

Land disputes in Israel are mostcommonly described as stand-offsbetween distinct groups o Arabs andJews. “Natural,” immutable divisions,both in space and between people,are too requently assumed withinthese struggles. Dwelling in Conflict offers the first study o land conflict

and environment based on extensivefieldwork within both Arab andJewish settings in the Negev. EmilyMcKee sensitively portrays the impactthat dividing lines—both physicaland social—have on residents. Sheinvestigates the political charge opeople’s everyday interactions withtheir environments and the waysin which basic understandingso people and “their” landscapesdrive political developments. While

recognizing deep divisions, McKeealso takes seriously the social projectsthat residents engage in to sofenand challenge socio-environmentalboundaries. Ultimately, Dwelling inConflict highlights opportunities orboundary crossings, revealing bothcontemporary segregation and thepossible mutability o these dividinglines in the uture.

Troughout Latin America, the ideao “justice” is the ultimate goal andrationale or a wide variety o actionsand causes. In the Chilean AtacamaDesert, residents have struggled ortheir right to groundwater. Familymembers o bombing victims in

Buenos Aires demand that the stateprovide justice or the attack. Teprotagonists in these examples seekone main thing: justice. But whatdoes justice mean or the actorsin these cases? How can justice bedetermined or evaluated?

A Sense o Justice ethnographicallyexplores the complex dynamics o justice production across LatinAmerica. Te authors examine

(in)justice as it is lived and imaginedtoday and what it means or thosewho claim and regulate its param-eters. Ultimately, the authors showhow understanding the processeso constructing justice is essentialto creating cooperative rather thanoppressive orms o law.

NGOs and the Cultivation oDemocratic Citizenship inRural MexicoANALIESE RICHARD

In late twentieth century Mexico, theNGO “boom” was hailed as a harbingero social change and democratic transi-tion, with NGOs poised to transormthe relationship between states andcivil society on a global scale. But itis still up or debate what the growtho NGOs means or the uture ocitizenship and activism in neolib-eral democracies, where the wideningchasm between rich and poor threatensdemocratic ideals and institutions.

Analiese Richard explores the growthand evolution o NGOs in ulancingo,Hidalgo, rom the s to the present,analyzing the network o relationshipsbetween donors, target communities,international partners, state agencies,

and political actors, reaching beyondthe campesinos and armlands oMexico to make sense o the NGO asan institutional orm. Richard arguesthat only i we see NGOs as they are—bridges between ormal politics andpublic morality—can we understandthe opportunities and limits or socialsolidarity and citizenship in an era oneoliberal retrenchment.

Communicative Opacity inPolitical Spaces

EMIKO OHNUKI-TIERNEY

Flowers are beautiul. People ofencommunicate their love and othereelings by offering flowers, like roses.Flowers can also be symbols o collec-tive identity, as cherry blossoms areor the Japanese. But are flowers alsodeceptive? Are people aware whentheir meaning changes, perhaps as

flowers are deployed by the state anddictators? Did people recognize thatthe roses offered to Stalin and Hitlerbecame a propaganda tool? Or werethey like the Japanese soldiers, whodid not realize when the state toldthem to all like cherry blossoms, itmeant their deaths?

Flowers Tat Kill proposes an entirelynew theoretical understanding o therole o quotidian symbols and their

political significance to understandhow they lead people, i indirectly,to wars, violence, and even sel-destruction. Using a broad compara-tive approach, Emiko Ohnuki-ierneyillustrates how the aesthetic andmultiple meanings o symbols cancreate ambiguity, preventing peoplerom recognizing the shifing meaningo the symbols.

Wild Lie begins with the plight o atiny endangered snail, and ends withthe rehabilitation o an entire island.Interwoven between its pages arestories about golden lion tamarinsin Brazil, black-ooted errets in theAmerican Plains, Sumatran rhinosin Indonesia, asmanian devils inAustralia—and many more creatures,

both human and nonhuman. Drawingon interviews with more than onehundred and twenty conservationbiologists, zoologists, zoo proession-als, government officials, and wildliemanagers, Braverman explores the

various perspectives on the twodominant paradigms o conserva-tion—in situ (on-site) and ex situ (incaptivity)—and the blurring o linesbetween them.

Wild Lie documents a nuancedunderstanding o the wild versuscaptive divide in species conserva-tion, one that aspires to the “more”rather than to the “most” wild.It also chronicles the emergingunderstanding that all orms o wildnature—both in situ and ex situ—mayneed to be managed in perpetuity.

13MIGRATION AND TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES

We Are All Migrants

Political Action and the UbiquitousCondition o Migrant-hood

GREGORY FELDMAN

Now more than ever, questions ocitizenship, migration, and politicalaction dominate public debate. Inthis powerul and polemical book,Gregory Feldman argues that We Are

All Migrants. By challenging the divisionbetween those considered “citizens” and

“migrants,” Feldman shows that both

subjects conront disempowerment,uncertainty, and atomization insepa-rable rom the rise o mass society, theisolation o the laboring individual, andthe global prolieration o rationalizedpractices o security and production. Yet,this very atomization—the ubiquitouscondition o migrant-hood—pushesthe individual to ask an existential andprooundly political question: “Do Imatter in this world?” Feldman arguesthat or particular individuals to answer

this question affirmatively, they mustbe empowered to jointly constitute theplaces they inhabit with others.

Governing Immigration

Through Crime

A Reader

EDITED BY JULIE A. DOWLING AND

JONATHAN XAVIER INDA


Crossing the Gulf

Love and Family in Migrant LivesPARDIS MAHDAVI

Te lines between what constitutesmigration and what constitutes humantrafficking are messy at best. Statepolicies rarely acknowledge the livedexperiences o migrants and their kin,and too ofen the laws meant to protectindividuals ultimately increase thechallenges they ace. Trough personalstories o migrants in Dubai, Abu Dhabi,

and Kuwait, Pardis Mahdavi considersthe interconnections between migrationand emotion, between amily and statepolicy, and shows how migrants canbe both mobilized and immobilized bytheir amily relationships and the bindso love they share across borders. Te re-sult is an absorbing and literally movingethnography that illuminates the mutu-ally reinorcing and constitutive orcesimpacting the lives o migrants and theirloved ones—and how prooundly they

are underserved by policies that moreofen lead to their illegality, statelessness,deportation, detention, and abuse.


Servants of Globalization

Migration and Domestic WorkS E

RHACEL SALAZAR PARREÑAS

Servants o Globalization offers agroundbreaking study o migrant Fili-pino domestic workers who leave theirown amilies behind to do the caretak-ing work o the global economy. Sinceits initial publication, the book hasinormed countless students and schol-

ars and set the research agenda on labormigration and transnational amilies.

With this second edition, Rhacel SalazarParreñas returns to Rome and LosAngeles to consider how the migrantcommunities have changed. Childrenhave now joined their parents. Maledomestic workers are present in signifi-cantly greater numbers. And, perhapsmost troubling, the population hasaged, presenting new challenges or theincreasingly elderly domestic workers.

New chapters discuss these threeincreasingly important constituencies.Te entire book has been revised andupdated, and a new introduction offersa global, comparative overview o thecitizenship status o migrant domesticworkers. Servants o Globalization remains the defining work on the inter-national division o reproductive labor.
