A Handful of Rain
Every day there walk anonymously among us people who have had extraordinary experiences. Their very presence serves as a tribute to the strength of the human spirit. That cannot be better illustrated than by this moving account of a young girl who discovers she has a medical condition whose lifelong consequences she could not even imagine. This is her story, right up to the touching moment when a stranger's death brings her renewed hope through the modern magic of a double organ transplant. Her story takes an even more dramatic turn as she discovers her organ donor's identity. As it turns out, her donor, too, had a story. As the author takes us through her childhood, we relive with her the d...

Borderlines in a Globalized World
Scholars of different schools have extensively analyzed world systems as networks of communication under the fashionable heading `globalization.' Our collected new research pushes the argument one step further. Globalization is not a homogenization of all social life on earth. It is a heterogeneous process that connects the global and the local on different levels. To understand these contemporary developments this book employs innovative concepts, strategies of research, and explanations. Globalization is a metaphor for different borderstructures, new borderlines, and conditions of membership, which emerge in a global world-system. As a world-system expands it incorporates new territories and new peoples. The process of incorporation creates frontiers or boundaries of the world-system. These frontiers or boundary zones are the locus of resistance to incorporation, ethnogenesis, ethnic transformation, and ethnocide.
White Man's Water
In recent years, efforts to recognize and accommodate cultural diversity have gained some traction in the politics of US health care. But to date, anthropological perspectives have figured unevenly in efforts to define and address mental health problems. Particularly challenging are examinations of Native peoples’ experiences with alcohol. Erica Prussing provides the first in-depth assessment of the politics of Native sobriety by focusing on the Northern Cheyenne community in southeastern Montana, where for many decades the federally funded health care system has relied on the Twelve Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous. White Man’s Water provides a thoughtful and careful analysis of Che...
Strange Neighbors
"Since its founding, the United States has struggled with issues of federalism and states' rights. In the last decade, immigration has been on the front lines of this debate. While Arizona and its notorious SB 1070 is the most visible example of states' claiming expanded responsibility to make and enforce immigration law, it is far from alone. An ordinance in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, prohibited landlords from renting to undocumented immigrants. Several states have introduced legislation to deny citizenship to babies who are born to parents who are in the United States without authorization. Other states have also enacted various laws aimed at driving out unauthorized migrants. Strange Neighbo...
