Noble Victory
MANDEEP K. ATWAL KNEW FROM A YOUNG AGE SHE WANTED TO FIGHT FOR EQUALITY. Motivated and driven, she pursued a career in law, but even when she was a full-fledged lawyer and everything had gone according to her plans, she still felt like something was missing. She felt that it was time to start a family with her husband, Samir. But little did they know how that decision would take their souls to places they never could have imagined. After multiple complications during the delivery, Mandeep gave birth to her son, JSS. The initial months of motherhood were difficult—and then, everything changed when Mandeep and Samir discovered their son had autism. Their lives became a whirlwind of therapies...
The German Migration Integration Regime
Syrian refugees who gained asylum in Germany following the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 quickly entered into an ‘integration regime’ which produced a binary notion of ‘well integrated’ migrants versus refugees falling short of the narrow social and political definitions of a ‘good’ refugee. Etzel’s rich ethnographic study shows how refugees navigated this conditional inclusion. While some asylum seekers gained international protection, others were left with limited agency to demand government accountability for the ever-moving target of integration. Putting a spotlight on the inconsistencies and failings of a universal approach to integration, this is an important contribution to the wider field of migration and anthropology of the state.

Einrichten in der Normalität – Wie Kinder und Jugendliche in Großwohnsiedlungen wohnen
Das Buch “Einrichten in der Normalität” untersucht die komplexen Wohnrealitäten in den Großsiedlungen der Nachkriegszeit und fordert die vorherrschende negative Wahrnehmung in der öffentlichen Debatte heraus. Zugleich thematisiert es die zunehmende Relevanz von städtischen Großsiedlungen im Kontext urbaner Wohn(ungs)krisen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die oft übersehenen Erfahrungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen in diesen Siedlungen, wobei der Fokus auf der Diskrepanz zwischen den tatsächlichen Wohnpraxen junger Menschen und der unzureichenden Berücksichtigung ihrer Perspektiven in der Wohnungsplanung und -gestaltung liegt. Der Sammelband vereint verschiedene Text- und Bildformate von ...

Urban Development in India
Indian diaspora has had a complex and multifaceted role in catalyzing, justifying and promoting a transformed urban landscape in India.

Transmigration und Place-making junger Geflüchteter
Zuschreibung von Fremdheit, (Alltags-)Rassismus, soziale Ein- und Ausschlüsse – dies sind nur Beispiele für die zahlreichen Herausforderungen, denen junge Geflüchtete im Kontext von Flucht- und Migrationsprozessen begegnen. Doch wie genau vollziehen sich Selbst- und Fremdpositionierungen junger Geflüchteter in den Aufnahmeräumen Griechenlands, Maltas, der Türkei, Deutschlands und der Schweiz? Der Sammelband untersucht im Rahmen einer migrations- und erziehungswissenschaftlichen Analyse Entgrenzungen, Begrenzungen und Verortungen migrierter Kinder und Jugendlicher, wie sie sich unter der Maßgabe der Migrationspolitiken europäischer Länder abspielen. Darüber hinaus nehmen die Autor*innen transnationale Zwischenwelten in den Blick und beleuchten die Erschaffung neuer Selbstverständnisse und Handlungsformen sowie die Entstehung von Mehrfachzugehörigkeiten.
Pretending and Imagination in Animals and Children
This book provides an overview of recent research presenting conflicting interpretations of children's understanding of the psychology of pretense and describes sociocultural factors which influence children's pretenses. Studies of nonhuman primates provide examples of their pretenses and other simulative activities, explore their representational and imaginative capacities and compare their skills with children. Although the psychological requirements for pretending are controversial, evidence presented in this volume suggests that great apes and even monkeys may share capacities for imagination with children and that children's early pretenses may be less psychological than they appear.

Animals and Agency
While many scholars who write about animals deal with animal agency in some way, this volume is the first to position the question of nonhuman agency as the primary focus of inquiry. Section I presents studies of actual animals demonstrating agency; Section II moves agency into new terrain while considering key representations of animal agency in literature; Section III analyzes animals as mediators and as conveyances of human-to-human communication;and Section IV investigates the agency of beings who defy conventional species categories. The Envoi demonstrates how the microscopic polyp is interwoven into notions of agency and mythical superagency. This volume's interdisciplinary explorations press hard on issues of agency to open up space for more questions about how we can understand relationships between the human and the nonhuman.
