Born Out of Place
" Hong Kong is a meeting ground for migrant domestic workers, traders, refugees, asylum seekers, tourists and businessmen, and local residents. At the heart of this book are the stories and experiences of migrant mothers from Indonesia and the Philippines, their South Asian, African, Chinese, and Western expatriate partners, and their Hong Kong born babies. Constable gives voice to the immigrant mothers in this Asian world city and, in the process, raises a serious question: do we regard immigrants as people, or just workers? This accessible ethnography provides insight into global problems of mobility, family, and citizenship and points to the consequences, creative responses, melodramas, and tragedies of labor and migration policies"-- Provided by publisher.

The Sounds and Sights of Performance in Early Music
The experience of music performance is always far more than the sum of its sounds, and evidence for playing and singing techniques is not only inscribed in music notation but can also be found in many other types of primary source materials. This volume of essays presents a cross-section of new research on performance issues in music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The subject is approached from a broad perspective, drawing on areas such as dance history, art history, music iconography and performance traditions from beyond Western Europe. In doing so, the volume continues some of the many lines of inquiry pursued by its dedicatee, Timothy J. McGee, over a lifetime of scholarship devoted...

Njawani
Dalam keluarga Jawa, orang tua adalah struktur objektif dominan sementara anak dianggap subjek belaka. Anak yang pada awalnya nir-nilai, kosong, kemudian diisi. Anak sama sekali belum memahami dunia, keluarga memahamkannya, jika bukan memaksanya untuk mengerti dunia dari sudut pandang tertentu. Praktik ini kemudian melahirkan “orang Jawa”, agar njawani, yang berarti berpikir dan bertindak secara Jawa.
Papal Patronage and the Music of St. Peter's, 1380–1513
A new picture of music at the basilica of St. Peter's in the fifteenth century emerges in Christopher A. Reynolds's fascinating chronicle of this rich period of Italian musical history. Reynolds examines archival documents, musical styles, and issues of artistic patronage and cultural context in a fertile consideration of the ways historical and musical currents affected each other. This work is both a historical account of performers and composers and an examination of how their music revealed their cultural values and educational backgrounds. Reynolds analyzes several anonymous masses copied at St. Peter's, proposing attributions that have biographical implications for the composers. Taken...

Love, Sex and Activism
This book is about the lives of Indonesian women employed in Hong Kong as Foreign Domestic Helpers. It tells of their lives as labour activists, leaders, religious leaders, lovers of men and women, undocumented migrants when they overstay their visas, single mothers and as wives in marriages that take place in Hong Kong. The reader will learn the inside stories of what gave them strength and the barriers they encountered to personal empowerment.
