With over half the world's population now deemed to be urbanised, cities are assuming a larger role in political debates about the security and sustainability of the global food system.

Mia Maljojoki
- Artist jeweller Mia Maljojoki's first monograph shows two decades of works - Extraordinary photos make visible the intimate connection between the jewelry and its wearer This book is an amusement park of emotions, which have become frozen in various forms of wearable art Mia Maljojoki (b. 1970) speaks passionately about the emotional potential of her jewelry. In her works, she wants to capture the moment, make feelings permanent and trigger social interaction. But her pendants and neckpieces, in which cold porcelain clashes with neon textiles, are never overly ornate, instead they show a playful lightness. The jewelry artist presents her work of the last twenty years in eight series. Large format photos show materiality and technique, while pictures of performances and exhibitions allow a personal point of view. The models of the Exactly-series, who are portrayed in the Finnish landscape, reveal the intimate relationship between jewelry and wearer.

"Until now, these migrations have been overlooked as scholars have highlighted instead the parallel migrations of former "colonized" peoples. This multidisciplinary volume presents essays by prominent sociologists, historians, and anthropologists on their research with the "invisible" migrant communities. Their work explores the experiences of colonists returning to France, Portugal and the Netherlands, the ways national and colonial ideologies of race and citizenship have assisted in or impeded their assimilation and the roles history and memory have played in this process, and the ways these migrations reflect the return of the "colonial" to Europe."--BOOK JACKET.
