Race, Gender, and Political Culture in the Trump Era
This book demonstrates the fragility of democratic norms and institutions, and the allure of fascist politics within the Trump era. The chapters consider the antagonistic cultural practices through which divergent political machinations, including white (patriarchal) nationalism, are staged, and examine the corresponding policies and governing practices that threaten the civil rights, security, and wellbeing of racialized minorities, immigrants, women, and gender nonconforming people. The book contributes to social theory on nation-building by delineating processes of exclusion, intimidation, and violence, with a focus on rhetoric, performance, semiotics, music, affectivity, and the power of media. Various chapters also analyze creative, restorative, and at times unruly practices of community building, which reknit the social fabric with expansive visions of the polity. This anthropology-led volume incorporates contributions from a number of disciplines including sociology, American studies, communication, and Spanish, and will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities.
The Anthropology of Childhood

Aufwachsen fernab der Eltern
In Burkina Faso stellt Migration den gesellschaftlichen Normalfall dar. Auch Kinder migrieren im Rahmen ihrer Anvertrauung, einer sozialen Praxis, bei der Kinder bei anderen als ihren leiblichen Eltern aufwachsen. In diesem Buch wird untersucht, warum und auf welche Weise die Anvertrauung praktiziert wird. Vergleichend werden dabei zwei Formen der Anvertrauung gegenübergestellt: die traditionelle Anvertrauung an Verwandte und Bekannte und die religiöse Anvertrauung an Koranlehrer. Unter Beachtung einer insgesamt hohen gesellschaftlichen Vulnerabilität werden die Funktionen der beiden Formen der Anvertrauung für die beteiligten Personen und die Gesellschaft als Ganzes untersucht. Ebenso wird analysiert, welche institutionellen und zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteure im Rahmen der Prozesse des gesellschaftlichen Aushandelns der Anvertrauung in welcher Weise zur Beibehaltung, Änderung oder Bekämpfung dieser sozialen Praxis beitragen und welche Positionierungen, Handlungen und Prozesse ineinandergreifen, die sich bedingen, parallel oder auch konträr zueinander verlaufen.
