South Africa's Dreams
Ethnologists and Apartheid in Namibia

In the early sixties, many South African anthropologists supported ‘Grand Apartheid’ in Namibia.

The book also analyses how the knowledge used to justify and implement apartheid was created.

Deadly Contradictions
The New American Empire and Global Warring
Reyna, S. P.
As US imperialism continues to dictate foreign policy, Deadly Contradictions is a compelling account of the American empire. Stephen P. Reyna argues that contemporary forms of violence exercised by American elites in the colonies, client state, and regions of interest have deferred imperial problems, but not without raising their own set of deadly contradictions.

Post-Ottoman Coexistence
Sharing Space in the Shadow of Conflict
Bryant, R. (ed)
Scholars often refer to the “peaceful coexistence” of various religious and ethnic groups under the Ottoman Empire before ethnonationalist conflicts dissolved that shared space and created legacies of division.

Engaging with Strangers
Love and Violence in the Rural Solomon Islands
McDougall, D.
Writing of Ranongga Island, the author tracks engagements with foreigners across many realms of life, describing startling reversals in which strangers become attached to local places, even as kinspeople are estranged. Against stereotypes of rural insularity, she argues that a distinctive cosmopolitan openness to others is evident in the rural Solomons in times of war and peace.

Food in Zones of Conflict
Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives
Collinson, P. and Macbeth, H. (eds)
Controlling food and access to food can be used as a weapon. This is an especially significant issue in zones of conflict, because conflict impinges on the production and the distribution of food causing increased competition for food, land and resources. These themes unite the chapters of Food in Zones of Conflict, but since the topic is multidisciplinary, this volume appeals specialists in any field.

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
