JOURNAL

Bloomsbury Studies in Black Religion and Cultures

This book fills a gap in religious studies literature by providing a historical study of Black gospel music in Britain. While Black gospel music is a global phenomenon that evolved in many places, including the Caribbean, America and Europe, many still look to America for an understanding of its origin. Dulcie Dixon McKenzie challenges this approach, asserting that there is no universal, 'one-size-fits-all' historical account of Black gospel music. Instead, McKenzie offers an alternative to the American-dominated discourse, presenting Black gospel music as a tradition that was birthed in the churches founded by African Caribbean migrants during the post-war years in Britain. This book is structured around three main themes-context, culture and conservation-and features first-hand accounts from founding members of African Caribbean Pentecostalism, as well as from selected pioneers of singing and music within the various historic congregations. It explores topics such as the arrival and settlement of African Caribbean ancestors in Britain, the exporting of African Caribbean religious beliefs and practices, the growth of African Caribbean Pentecostal churches in Britain, and illustrations of a distinctive African Caribbean Pentecostal style of congregational worship.

Routledge Series for Creative Teaching and Learning in Anthropology

Branding Gandhi renews attention to thinking about our relationship with stuff through Gandhi‘s politics, his image, his things, and the history of branding Gandhi. Based on archival research this book will provoke thinking about why we remain fascinated with brands. The chapters of this book will appeal to introductory anthropology students and nudge them to wonder what it means for India to claim Gandhi as their national treasure, making him their nation‘s brand. The book asks a simple question: what do brands mean and why do brands move us? To answer, the book takes students to Gandhi, to the past and the present, to India and the U.S, to ordinary and extraordinary things, and to the place of emotion and belief in our rational lives.

Cultural Spaces

Gregor Benton is one of the foremost scholars of China in the world. Chinatowns is a highly readable, and sweeping book on this global phenomenon, including a photo essay of historical snapshots of Chinatowns across the globe. The Chinese diaspora, which started a couple of centuries ago, produced Chinatowns from the US to Britain to Europe to Southeast Asia to Australia. Exploring how each Chinatown is different; Benton explains how a unique culture developed and outlines their basic cultural, social, and political features. He highlights the unique features of the different Chinatowns surveyed. For instance, in Paris, there is a Chinatown populated primarily by Chinese who are the descendants of Chinese migrants to Southeast Asia (a former French colony). In the United States, the cloistered nature of Chinatowns stemmed from institutionalized racism. And in Australia, weaker taboos against interracial sex led to more open enclaves. Everywhere, though, Chinatowns have been stereotyped as places of exoticism and corruption, and to this day are frequently viewed through an Orientalist gaze. In this truly unique book, Gregor Benton applies his vast knowledge to cover all of these features.

Too often, film and the cinema have been treated primarily as a visual medium, with the consequence that spectatorship has come to be regarded as a matter of the eye alone. In Film History: An Introduction through the Senses, Thomas Elsaesser and Michael Wedel put the other senses at the centre of the cinematic experience, charting the dynamics along which the cinema has configured, positioned, and rearticulated itself over time within the larger cultural force field of media technologies, the body, and the senses. Much like Film Theory: An Introduction through the Senses, each chapter in this new book begins by identifying the major terms of a particular period--including early cinema, classical cinema, modern (art) cinema, post-classical cinema, avant-garde cinema, world cinema, and digital cinema--and closely analyzing of one or more of the era's key films. Using major twentieth century media theorists, the authors then examine the way in which media technologies have affected, altered, traversed, or perverted the body and the senses.

Using major twentieth century media theorists, the authors then examine the way in which media technologies have affected, altered, traversed, or perverted the body and the senses. For example, they consider:-the cinema as a site for the training of the body and the mass production of the senses-the cinema as the exploitation of the body and the commodification of the senses-the cinema as a public space to adapt the body and educate the senses to the demands of societyBy broadening our understanding of spectatorship Elsaesser and Wedel are able to provide an account of film history that more easily accomodates the new forms that the cinematic experience is taking in the 21st century. The advanced undergraduate will find this book to be an excellent introduction to both major media theorists like McLuhan and Kracauer and also film history more generally.

An Introduction through the Senses

Film History

Based on original research, this book details the everyday experiences of seasonal agricultural workers, living on a camp and performing hard labour. It exposes the realities at the bottom of the supply chain, the causes and the resulting difficulties.

Drawing on workplace ethnography at a farm in the East of England and interviews with former participants on the UK’s temporary foreign worker programme, the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme, this book contributes to understanding of the everyday work and living experiences of migrant workers in horticulture. In particular, it reveals the influence of supermarket-driven supply chains and of immigration status. Based on original research, the author details the everyday experiences of living on a camp and hard labour, exposing the realities at the bottom of the supply chain. Due to retailer demands for quality and volume of produce, workers experience injury, exclusion and restricted working conditions. Workers’ responses to their living conditions include the spending of their weekly wage in local towns and cities. Such spending contributes to the creation of transnational identities. Migrant workers however cannot overcome the identities imposed on them by the processes of racialisation that occurs as a result of perceptions of them by employers, local nationals and the State. Comparisons are also drawn with experiences of seasonal migrant workers in other countries.

The Radical Imagination

Since its initial 2011 publication, Theory from the South has stimulated a new field of inquiry from leading scholars, while world developments have escalated and supported its original thesis of how "Euroamerica has evolved toward Africa." Not least of these is the many resemblances of the Trump presidency to that of Jacob Zuma, transformations in the nature of many of the world's Northern democracies, the rise of populist politics, the intensifying hold of private capital over functions of the state, sharpening inequalities, and the transformation of labor. In a new chapter for this expanded edition, the Comaroffs extend their theorizing around and beyond these new developments. Critique and discussion by several prominent commentators round out this new edition: Achille Mbembe, James Ferguson, Ato Quayson, Srinivas Aravamudan, and Juan Obarrio.
