📣 New #BookReview! Christoph Lange reviews 'An Anthropology of Crosslocations' (2024) by Sarah Green et al. in the latest issue of 'Anthropos'. The review is not currently available online, but the volume itself is available in #OpenAccess at: doi.org/10.33134/HUP... #Anthropology #Ethnography

Book cover for 'An Anthropology of Crosslocations', written by Sarah Green, Samuli Lähteenaho, Phaedra Douzina-Bakalaki, Carl Rommel, Joseph Viscomi, Laia Soto Bermant, and Patricia Scalco. The cover shows the weathered exterior wall of an old stone building in warm beige tones. On the left is a closed wooden shuttered window, and in the right an open doorway frames a view of a sunlit seaside promenade, blue ocean, and clear sky. Next to the cover is a quote from a book review written by Christoph Lange and published in 'Anthropos' (121.2026). The quote reads: ”A distinctive feature that pervades the publication is the consistency in theoretical depth and methodological approach across the chapters, reflecting the authors’
collaborative history of five years in a joint research project. Consequently, the individual chapters often flow seamlessly into one another, either building upon or expanding upon each other’s arguments.”

Studying formal aspects of language is potentially a key to monitoring seemingly hateful speech.”

In 'Displaced Families, Dispersed Memories' (2026), Sarabia & Zaragoza show how #undocumented migrant youth in the #US use social memory to frame #migration and politicized #memory as a form of resilience. Read the #openaccess chapter "Disrupted Memories of Migration" at: doi.org/10.33134/HUP...

The cover of 'Displaced Families, Dispersed Memories', edited by Johanna Leinonen, Seija Jalagin, Outi Kähäri, Ilmari Leppihalme, Hanna-Leena Määttä, and Elina Turjanmaa, features a painted portrait of an elderly man with his back turned to the viewer. Next to the cover is a quote from the chapter "Disrupted Memories of Migration” (p. 303), by Heidy Sarabia and Laura Zaragoza. The quote reads: "In sum, we found that DACA youths reflected on their future in the USA and made claims of belonging there, a country they view as their home; while the Trump election highlights their legal vulnerability in the USA, they still feel like they belong."

Next to the cover, there is a quote from a book review written by Susanne Kuehling and published in the journal 'Suomen Antropologi', Volume 50 No. 1 (2026). The quote reads: "In this monograph, the depth of field data rubs against the regional literature of Austronesia, Melanesia, PNG, and New Britain, citing and applying newer theoretical works on semiotics, peasantry, the frontier situation, and development. As such, this book is a great way to gain an overview of those contemporary approaches."
