Dental Morphology for Anthropology An Illustrated Manual

Dental Morphology for Anthropology An Illustrated Manual

This work provides a new comprehensive update to the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS). Drawing upon her extensive experience in informatics curating data and dental morphological data acquisition Edgar has developed accessible and user-friendly standardized images and descriptions of dental morphological variants. The manual provides nearly 400 illustrations that indicate ideal expressions of each dental trait. These drawings are coupled with over 650 photographs of real teeth indicating real-world examples of each expression. Additionally trait descriptions have been written to be clear comparative and easy to apply. Together the images and descriptions are presented in a standardized form for quick and clear reference. All of these modifications to ASUDAS make it more usable for students and professionals alike. In addition to these features of the manual the text makes a brief but strong argument for why dental morphology will continue to be a useful tool in biological anthropology through the 21st century. | Dental Morphology for Anthropology An Illustrated Manual

Queer Latinx and Bilingual Narrative Resources in the Negotiation of Identities

Queer Latinx and Bilingual Narrative Resources in the Negotiation of Identities

Shortlisted for the 2018 BAAL Book PrizeThis book is a sociolinguistic ethnography of LGBT Mexicans/Latinxs in Phoenix Arizona a major metropolitan area in the U. S. Southwest. The main focus of the book is to examine participants’ conceptions of their ethnic and sexual identities and how identities influence (and are influenced by) language practices. This book explores the intersubjective construction and negotiation of identities among queer Mexicans/Latinxs paying attention to how identities are co-constructed in the interview setting in coming out narratives and in narratives of silence. The book destabilizes the dominant narrative on language maintenance and shift in sociolinguistics much of which relies on a (heterosexual) family-based model of intergenerational language transmission by bringing those individuals often at the margin of the family (LGBTQ members) to the center of the analysis. It contributes to the queering of bilingualism and Spanish in the U. S. not only by including a previously unstudied subgroup (LGBTQ people) but also by providing a different lens through which to view the diverse language and identity practices of U. S. Mexicans/Latinxs. This book addresses this exclusion and makes a significant contribution to the study of bilingualism and multilingualism by bringing LGBTQ Latinas/os to the center of the analysis. | Queer Latinx and Bilingual Narrative Resources in the Negotiation of Identities

Igniting Justice and Progressive Power The Partnership for Working Families Cities

Igniting Justice and Progressive Power The Partnership for Working Families Cities

A progressive resurgence is happening across the United States. This book shows how long-lasting coalitions have built progressive power from the regional level on up. Anchored by the think and act affiliate organizations of the Partnership for Working Families (PWF) these regional power building projects are putting in place the vision policy agenda political savvy and grassroots mobilization needed for progressive governance. Through six sections the book explores how Partnership for Working Families projects are a core part of the defeat of the right-wing in states such as California; the challenge to corporate neoliberalism in traditionally liberal areas; and contests for power in such formally solid red states as Arizona Georgia and Colorado. This book considers how these PWF groups work on economic racial and environmental justice challenges equitable development and other critical issues. It addresses how at their core they bring together labor community environmental and faith-based organizations and the coalitions and campaigns that they developed have won and continue to win substantial victories for their communities. Igniting Justice and Progressive Power will be of interest to activists and concerned citizens looking to understand how lasting political change actually happens as well as all scholars and students of social work urban geography political sociology community development social movements and political science more broadly. | Igniting Justice and Progressive Power The Partnership for Working Families Cities

Literary and Cultural Representations of the Hinterlands

Literary and Cultural Representations of the Hinterlands

This interdisciplinary collection explores the diverse relationships between the frequently ignored and inherently ambiguous hinterlands and their manifestations in literature and culture. Moving away from perspectives that emphasize the marginality of hinterlands and present them as devoid of agency and “cultural currency” this collection assembles a series of original essays using various modes of engagement to reconceptualize hinterlands and highlight their semiotic complexity. Apart from providing a reassessment of hinterlands in terms of their geocultural significance this book also explores hinterlands through such concepts as nostalgia heterotopia identity formation habitation and cognitive mapping with reference to a wide geographical field. Literary and filmic revisions of familiar hinterlands such as the Australian outback Alberta prairie and Arizona desert are juxtaposed in this volume with representations of such little-known European hinterlands as Lower Silesia and Ukraine and the complicated political dimension of First World War internment camps is investigated with regard to Kapuskasing (Ontario). Rural China and the Sussex Downs are examined here as writers’ retreats. Inner-city hinterlands in Haiti India Morocco and urban New Jersey take on new meaning when contrasted with the vast hinterlands of megacities like Johannesburg and Los Angeles. The spectrum of diverse approaches to hinterlands helps to reinforce their multilayered and multivocal nature as spaces that defy clear categorization. | Literary and Cultural Representations of the Hinterlands
