Expeditionary Anthropology
Teamwork, Travel and the ''Science of Man''
Thomas, M. & Harris, A. (eds)
Expeditions played a major role in the development of anthropology, but their significance has been eclipsed by the discipline’s valorization of the lone observer. This rich assessment of cross-cultural research and team-based travel is part of a new historical turn that regards expeditions as cultural formations, and provides new and compelling perspectives on the histories of anthropology and empire.

Weary Warriors
Power, Knowledge, and the Invisible Wounds of Soldiers
Moss, P. & Prince, M. J.
“…offers a sustained and persuasive analysis of the institutional dynamics and individual actions by which various forms of warrelated neuroses are recognised, treated, negotiated, claimed and reproduced…The rich and impressive array of sources – military and medical texts, biographies and autobiographies, popular novels and films and journalistic accounts – on which the analysis is based makes the volume all the more persuasive.” · Social Anthropology
“This is a solid piece of scholarship. The authors successfully apply key concepts from Foucault, along with those of his feminist critics, to the analysis of soldiers returning from war. In so doing, they deepen our understanding of how weary warriors are constructed through time and space, and what his/her diagnosis, treatment, and release says about wider relations of power in, between, and across the state, the military, psychiatry, and the body itself.” · Carolyn Gallaher, American University

Alsace to the Alsatians?
Visions and Divisions of Alsatian Regionalism, 1870-1939
Fischer, C. J.
The region of Alsace, located between the hereditary enemies of France and Germany, served as a trophy of war four times between 1870–1945. With each shift, French and German officials sought to win the allegiance of the local populace. In response to these pressures, Alsatians invoked regionalism—articulated as a political language, a cultural vision, and a community of identity—not only to define and defend their own interests against the nationalist claims of France and Germany, but also to push for social change, defend religious rights, and promote the status of the region within the larger national community.
