Complex Ethnic Households in America
This lively interdisciplinary book on 'complex households' in six U.S. ethnic groups uniquely combines rich ethnographic description conveying the 'sights and smells' of fieldwork with theory-linked overviews and Census 2000 data. It explores interactions of household structure, ethnicity and gender, also illuminating factors affecting formation and dissolution of complex households, which are increasingly important as family and ethnic diversity - and immigration - grow. It's valuable for student and professional sociologists, anthropologists, demographers, research methodologists, policymakers and interested public.
Webs of Power
Webs of Power offers a fresh perspective on women in Southeast Asia. Focusing on one rural Minangkabau village, the book provides vital insights into the gendered processes of post-coloniality. The Minangkabau living in West Sumatra are the largest matrilineal group in the world. They have intrigued generations of scholars because they are matrilineal and Islamic. By exploring the contestations and accommodations women and men make with state and Islamic ideologies, Webs of Power discloses the processes at the heart of globalization as well as the complexities of kinship and power in a rural agricultural community. The book challenges conventional thinking about matriliny, showing the prominence of senior women in all aspects of village life.
Bewitching Women, Pious Men
"This collection presents new ethnographic research, framed in terms of new theoretical developments, and contains fine scholarship and lively writing."—Janet Hoskins, University of Southern California "This is a wonderful collection of essays. At one level they tell us about the transformation and often painful fragmentation of gendered selves in post-colonial states and a speeded-up transnational world. At another level they display the continuing power of ethnography to surprise and move us."—Sherry Ortner, University of California, Berkeley

Pendidikan Islam Berbasis Adat dan Syarak: Perspektif Syekh Sulaiman Arrasuli
Buku ini lahir dari keprihatinan penulis terhadap krisis moral dan budaya yang melanda dunia pendidikan saat ini, khususnya dalam konteks pendidikan Islam di Indonesia. Berangkat dari keprihatinan ini, penulis menelusuri jejak pemikiran dan kontribusi Syekh Sulaiman Arrasuli, seorang ulama besar yang berasal dari Minangkabau, yang dengan penuh kecerdasan dan kearifan berhasil memadukan dua pilar utama dalam kehidupan masyarakat Minangkabau, yaitu adat dan syarak. Dalam pandangannya, adat dan syarak bukanlah dua entitas yang saling bertentangan, melainkan dua elemen yang dapat saling melengkapi dan memperkuat, terutama dalam konteks pendidikan. Buku ini mengulas secara komprehensif bagaimana gagasan pertalian adat dan syarak yang diusung oleh Syekh Sulaiman Arrasuli diinstitusionalkan dalam pendidikan Islam. Penulis menjabarkan proses pelembagaan gagasan ini melalui tiga jalur utama: institusi pendidikan, organisasi Persatuan Tarbiyah Islamiah (PERTI), dan media massa. Setiap jalur ini memiliki peran penting dalam menyebarkan dan menanamkan nilai-nilai yang diwariskan oleh Syekh Sulaiman kepada generasi mendatang.
