This collection of original essays interrogates the nature of intercultural and intra-cultural encounters through anthropological case studies of Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. The chapters show that parties involved in intercultural or intra-cultural encounters, each equipped with their own means and motivated by their own ends, reciprocally engage each other in a dynamic, emergent relationship. Through detailed empirical research, this volume seeks to advance the open question of how we may theorize the cultural interface.
An anthology of poetry, prose, art, and reviews by Asian American women.
Lehet-e valaki annyira fantáziadús, hogy az írása alapján az olvasó nem tudja eldönteni, a mű mindössze fikció, vagy a szerző némileg több puszta írónál? Nyitray György zseniális thrillere az elejétől egészen a legvégéig, sőt még azután is, miután a kötet a polcra került, pattanásig feszíti, és ebben az állapotban tartja az olvasó idegeit.

In The Taste of Kona Coffee, two nisei brothers, Aki and Tosh, fight to free themselves from the prison of old-world traditions and poverty only to find themselves bound by the constraints of neocolonialism. In Manoa Valley, set some thirty years later, Tosh, now a successful building contractor in Honolulu, must reconcile his image of the future with that of his son, Spencer, who dreams of life in mainland America. The third play, The Life of the Land, is set in 1980. Spencer has achieved his goals but at the cost of alienating himself from his family and his culture. Hawaii No Ka Oi presents an important aspect of Japanese American social history in Hawaii, yet it reflects the immigrant experience of other ethnic groups. These are plays with which Americans of all backgrounds can identify.
Healing roles and rituals involving alcohol are a major source of power and identity for women and men in Highland Chiapas, Mexico, where abstention from alcohol can bring a loss of meaningful roles and of a sense of community. Yet, as in other parts of the world, alcohol use sometimes leads to abuse, whose effects must then be combated by individuals and the community. In this pioneering ethnography, Christine Eber looks at women and drinking in the community of San Pedro Chenalhó to address the issues of women’s identities, roles, relationships, and sources of power. She explores various personal and social strategies women use to avoid problem drinking, including conversion to Protesta...
Joan Elliott Pickart: Családi album A fotóriporter Mack Marshall vérbe fagyva csak egyvalamire tud gondolni: nincs senki, aki a temetésén megsiratná. Végül szerencsésen felgyógyul, kutakodni kezd, és apja irataiból megtudja, volt egy féltestvére. Felkeresi fivére özvegyét meg ikerlányait, ám a rövid látogatásból életre szóló kapcsolat szövődik… Christine Rimmer: A kölcsönbaba Szőke haj, ibolyakék szempár, hosszú, formás láb, lélegzetelállító alak. Kétségtelen, hogy a csodaszép Melinda minden férfi álma. Ezt a csupa izom, határozott Cole sem tagadhatja. Ám úgy gondolja, mégsem neki, az agyonterhelt texasi állatorvosnak való ez a csodálatosan vonzó nő. De vajon meddig képes harcolni fellobbanó érzései ellen? Rita Herron: Ikrek ideje Rosa meg van győződve róla, hogy nem képes vállalni a gyerekekkel járó felelősséget, pedig nagyon szeretne családot.
