Ng'weno Bettina: No Place Like Home in a
New City

No Place Like Home in a New City

Anti-Urbanism and Life in Nairobi

This timely exploration of social geography reveals how inequality and justice unfold across interconnected scales around the globe. Through embodied, relational encounters, the book unpacks how everyday spaces shape who we are and what we might become. Grounded in care and hope, it invites readers to imagine fairer futures and remain committed to meaningful, long-term change.The text offers a dynamic, case-driven and sometimes image-driven exploration of pressing social issues in our increasingly unequal, post-pandemic world. Designed for student engagement, the book provides real-world case studies that span the globe, critical concepts, and thought-provoking questions to help readers analyse injustice, build conceptual "toolkits," and imagine routes toward meaningful social change. Rather than offering easy answers, this book equips readers with flexible, practical frameworks-encouraging selective, critical thinking to better understand and communicate complex social problems. Ideal for classroom use and independent study, it empowers students to connect theory with action and to think like geographers committed to justice. The book also includes Engagement Questions, encouraging readers to reflect on the subject of the chapter and the wider topics within the field of social geography.This book is essential reading for students of social and political geography, and allied fields of urban, health and wellbeing, and political geographies.

La batalla cultural (Edición ampliada y actualizada)

Dogs and Their Humans in Pacific Island Interspecies Cultures explores diverse canine-human relationships in ancient and contemporary Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, and Australia.Anthropologically combining ethnographic, archaeological, biological, and linguistic evidence, the chapters demonstrate that from Hawaiian backyards to the Australian outback, both dogs and humans act differently depending on the cultural conditions connecting them in their multi-species communities.This book rewards readers with a profound understanding of the intricate and dynamic relation-ships between dogs and humans, highlighting the significant impact these interspecies interac-tions have on shaping cultural and ecological landscapes.

An Interdisciplinary Investigation of Loneliness

Sociocultural environments prompt us to notice and mark certain differences over others. This book investigates five paradoxes in the discourses and practices around such differences: the paradox of mixing, standardization, narrative, proximity, and tolerance. Drawing on the notion of unit thinking, it explores how perceived differences emerge fluidly in specific contexts. Through critical analyses of race studies, language education, global education/study abroad, and volunteer/service work, the book examines how these fields build on or capitalize on pre-conceived differences. It opens up discussions for new understandings of differences that challenge essentialist framings and inform alternative practices.

Moving Beyond Border Crossing, Translanguaging, and Unit Thinking

The Paradox of Difference

A Journey through 500,000 Years of African Culture and Identity

Motherland

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.

rerum religionum / Arbeiten zur Religionskultur

Was machen Kirchen mit Menschen und Menschen in Kirchen? In welche Verbindung treten sie mit den in diesen Räumen verteilten Dingen? Und was erfahren wir daraus über Religion in der Gegenwart? Ausgehend von Feldbesuchen in Hamburger Kirchenräumen erschließen&nbsp;die Beiträger*innen aus Religionswissenschaft, Religionspädagogik und Praktischer Theologie das Wechselverhältnis von Dingen, Räumen und Menschen.&nbsp;Sie dokumentieren ethnographisch und fotodokumentarisch erschlossene Praktiken und Konstellationen, erkunden die Beobachtungen praxeologisch sowie im Sinne eines neuen Materialismus und ziehen Schlussfolgerungen für den Religionsdiskurs und Fachdebatten.
