Description: This title presents a unique view on one of the most pressing issues of our age - environmental sustainability. Thousands of years ago, the Aboriginal peoples of Australia had taught themselves how to build a sustainable society in an extremely fragile landscape. Our ever more industrialised societies are in danger of collapse because they are consuming far more than they can provide. "Treading Lightly" is a unique volume that looks at how traditional Aboriginal art, stories and culture - which has been passed on through generations by word of mouth alone - can convey a greater understanding of our environment as a whole. This stunning volume offers a powerful and original model of society for the future and makes compelling reading.

Description: Noted Kenyan scholar, author, and educator Ali A. Mazrui, creator of the groundbreaking PBS series The Africans, teams up with his son Alamin to examine the complexities and contradictions of language and cultural identity on the African continent. The Mazruis explore the challenges of native African languages surviving in countries where the political, economic, and technological discourses are conducted in Eurocentric languages such as English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. "This linguistic state of affairs," they argue, has resulted from "the failure of African people to be nationalistic enough in linguistic terms." The Power of Babel recounts the history and impact of oral traditions, as well as the influence of Arabic, Christian, and Semitic-based growths in literacy and the imposition of the European concept of the nation-state. The authors also detail the role African American and Afro-Saxon English speakers could play in "African counter-penetration," using English to better educate the West about Africa. This timely and important treatise also finds room to incorporate discussion of such wide-ranging subject matters as James Baldwin, Frantz Fanon, and the rise of Ebonics. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Description: In this unique and important study of what it means to be a Mongolian in today's world, Dr. Uradyn E. Bulag draws on a vast amount of illuminating research to argue that all Mongols are in fact confronted with a choice between a purist, racialized nationalism (which they inherited from the Soviet discourses of the past) and a more open, adaptive, and inclusive nationalism (which would accept diversity, hybridity, and multiculturalism). The book calls into question the idea of Mongolia as a homogeneous place and people, and urges that unity be sought through a country-wide acknowledgment of diversity.

Description: Doing Ethnography systematically describes the various phases of an ethnographic inquiry, provides numerous examples, and offers suggestions and advice for the novice ethnographer.
Ethnography seeks to understand, describe, and explain the symbolic world lying beneath the social action of groups, organizations, and communities. This book clearly sets out the coordinates and foundations of this increasingly popular methodology. Giampietro Gobo discusses all the major issues, including the research design, access to the field, data collection, organization and analysis, and communication of the results.
Regular exercises, list of key terms and points, and self-evaluation checklists make this an invaluable resource for all students covering ethnographic methodologies on research methods courses.

Description: As a result of both immigration and birth patterns, the number of individuals in the United States who speak a language other than English is increasing dramatically. At the same time, there are tremendous needs in all areas of the workforce for individuals with proficiency in languages other than English. This book describes the population of heritage language speakers in the United States and outlines what needs to be done to help them develop a high level of proficiency in their heritage language for use in academic and professional arenas. The needs identified include materials, instructional strategies, and assessment tools specifically designed for heritage language speakers, to be used in the context of high-quality heritage language programs that move smoothly and sequentially from early elementary through college levels. Other needs include teacher recruitment and training, and funding to develop and maintain good programs. Addressing these challenges will demand the attention and effort of all who are involved in language education, research, and policy formation.

Description: Following the success of the First Edition, this fully revised and updated Second Edition of Doing Visual Ethnography explores the use and potential of photography, video, and hypermedia in ethnographic and social research. It offers a reflexive approach to theoretical, methodological, practical, and ethical issues of using these media now that they are increasingly being incorporated into field research.
Author Sarah Pink adopts the viewpoint that visual research methods should be rooted in a critical understanding of local and academic visual cultures, the visual media, and technologies being used and the ethical issues they raise. The book demonstrates that these new challenges that shape ethnographic knowledge can be met by understanding the reflexivity and experience through which visual and ethnographic materials are produced and interpreted.
New to the Second Edition:
- General updating of figures, terminology, and literature to bring the book up-to-date with recent innovations in theory, practice, and technology
- Annotated reading lists added to each chapter to guide the reader to further literature
- Completely rewritten chapter on digital technology to ensure the text is in line with the latest developments in technology and methodological thinking
Drawing from her own experiences of using photography, video, and hypermedia in research, as well as the work of others, the author follows the research process from project design, planning and implementing and practicing fieldwork to analysis and representation, suggesting how visual images and technologies can be combined to form an integrated process throughout the different stages of research.
Doing Visual Ethnography, Second Edition is an excellent resource for students of sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, media studies, and those doing ethnographic and qualitative research. It also provides valuable reading for researchers and postgraduates.
