Lands of the Future
Anthropological Perspectives on Pastoralism, Land Deals and Tropes of Modernity in Eastern Africa
Gabbert, E. C., Gebresenbet, F., Galaty, J. G., & Schlee, G. (eds)
Rangeland, forests and riverine landscapes of pastoral communities in Eastern Africa are increasingly under threat. Abetted by states who think that outsiders can better use the lands than the people who have lived there for centuries, outside commercial interests have displaced indigenous dwellers from pastoral territories. This volume presents case studies from Eastern Africa.

The Mobility of Memory
Migrations and Diasporas across European Borders
Passerini, L., Trakilović, M., & Proglio, G. (eds)
During five years of field research in Italy and the Netherlands, the “Bodies Across Borders: Oral and Visual Memory in Europe and Beyond” (BABE) team examined the connection between mobility and memory in Europe. This volume, the outcome of that project, engages with the tensions between roots and routes, history and memory, minds and bodies, macrostructures and micro stories, and control and resistance.

Sahraoui, N. (ed)

Social Im/mobilities in Africa
Ethnographic Approaches
Noret, J. (ed)
Grounded in both theory and ethnography, this volume insists on taking social positionality seriously when accounting for Africa’s current age of polarizing wealth. To this end, the notion of social im/mobilities emphasizes the complexities of current changes, taking us beyond the prism of a unidimensional social ladder, for social moves cannot always be apprehended through the binaries of ‘gains’ and ‘losses’.

Bourdieu and Social Space
Mobilities, Trajectories, Emplacements
Reed-Danahay, D.
French sociologist and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu’s relevance for studies of spatiality and mobility has received less attention than other aspects of his work. Here, Deborah Reed-Danahay argues that the concept of social space, central to Bourdieu’s ideas, addresses the structured inequalities that prevail in spatial choices and practices.

A Handbook
Doerr, N. M.
Written for study abroad practitioners, this book approaches key study abroad concepts – such as “culture”, “native speaker”, and “immersion” – from a number of theoretical perspectives, and considers study abroad not as an encounter with cultural others, but as an occasion to analyze constructions of “differences” in daily life.

Sexual Economies, Marriage and Migration in a Disparate World
Groes, C. & Fernandez, N. T. (eds)
This book explores how various types of migration that are often seen as distinct phenomena – such as marriage migration, romance tourism and sex work migration – are in fact variations of cross-border mobilities that evolve around experiences and constructions of “intimacy”, and are facilitated by and deeply entwined with issues of power, gender and sexuality.
