Oxford Studies In Contemporary Indian Society

Family Studies

Engaging with the Planetary Ecological Crisis

Environmental Studies from India

Studies in Religion and the Everyday is a collection of essays that address the contours of religious beliefs and practices in the context of everyday life in India.

Studies in Religion and the Everyday

This book straddles disciplines that are usually separated to provide an overview of how food both shapes and is shaped by interpersonal, psycho-social, socio-political and historical dynamics in South Africa. It courageously acknowledges and respects a very wide range of disciplinary and theoretical approaches to food in South Africa. Desiree Lewis, Professor, University of the Western Cape Food is never just food. This interdisciplinary volume examines the cultural politics of food in South Africa, revealing how nourishment is bound up with histories of colonialism, apartheid, migration and enduring inequality. Drawing on perspectives from media studies, sociology, history and cultural studies, the chapters explore how food functions as a site of identity, resistance, memory and aspiration. From Indigenous food systems and missionary food regimes to television, advertising and social media, the book traces how meanings around food are produced, contested and mediated. It considers the everyday and the symbolic, from home-cooked meals and community cookbooks to performances of culinary capital within foodie cultures. Through this diverse and critical lens, the volume argues that food in South Africa cannot be separated from the power structures and social dynamics that shape it. In doing so, it offers a vital counterpoint to dominant narratives from the Global North, contributing to a richer understanding of how food intersects with representation, access and cultural expression in the Global South.

Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality: Social and Cultural Perspectives

Motherhood in Mexico is profoundly shaped by the legacy of colonialism. This ethnography situates motherhood in a critical global health analysis of maternal health inequalities and interventions in the southeast state of Chiapas. Using a transitional life course framework, it demonstrates how the transition to motherhood is never complete. Once a good mother is defined, she becomes undefined, the goal posts moved, and the rules confronted.

This innovative study introduces the concept of xiangchou - homesickness and rural nostalgia - to English-language scholarship, using it as a lens through which to explore rural development in contemporary China. Using hometown ethnography, Linda Qian takes a village in Zhejiang province as her primary case study to demonstrate the emotional, social, and political forces shaping rural return migration and development policies. Through personal narratives and state-led initiatives, she reveals how xiangchou functions as both a 'structure of feeling' and a tool of affective governance. By intertwining lived experiences with broader social and political contexts, this study highlights the overlapping desires projected onto the countryside and underscores the significance of the 'rural' in the traditional concept of the 'hometown.'

Transparency has become a ubiquitous presence in seemingly every sphere of social, economic, and political life. Yet, for all the claims that transparency works, little attention has been paid to how it works - even when it fails to achieve its goals. Instead of assuming that transparency is itself transparent, this book questions the technological practices, material qualities, and institutional standards producing transparency in extractive, commodity trading, and agricultural sites. Furthermore, it asks: how is transparency certified and standardized? How is it regimented by 'ethical' and 'responsible' businesses, or valued by traders and investors, from auction rooms to sustainability reports? The contributions bring nuanced answers to these questions, approaching transparency through four key organizing concepts, namely disclosure, immediacy, trust, and truth. These are concepts that anchor the making of transparency across the lifespan of global commodities. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
