Introducing Health Anthropology A Discipline in Action
Merrill Singer, Hans A. Baer, Debbi Long & Alex Pavlotski With a new title that reflects the broad scope and primary concerns of the field, Introducing Health Anthropology: A Discipline in Action, Fourth Edition, provides students with a first look at the dynamic discipline of medical and health anthropology. The narrative is guided by four unifying themes. First, health anthropologists are heavily involved in the process of helping to better understand and change the world through their work in applied projects, policy initiatives, and advocacy. Second, the book presents the fundamental importance of culture and social relationships in health and sickness by demonstrating that experienced illness and diagnosed disease involve complex biosocial processes and that resolving them requires attention to a range of factors beyond biology. Third, through an examination of health inequality, the book highlights the need for research and analyses that move beyond cultural or even ecological models of health toward comprehensive and holistic biosocial frameworks. Finally, the authors emphasize that physical and mental health are intimately related to the health of the environment on which humans depend for air, food, and the other resources that make UK March 2025 • US March 2025 342 Pages • 24 BW Photos, 7 Tables, 12 Textboxes HB 9781538187272 • £115.00 / $150.00 PB 9781538187289 • £42.00 / $54.00 ePDF 9798881860684 • £37.80 / $48.60 ePub 9781538187296 • £37.80 / $48.60 Rowman & Littlefield

Traditional Seafaring in Oceania
A New Theory of Maritime Resistance and Advocacy Hunter H. Fine In this book, Hunter H. Fine examines traditional seafaring practices in Oceania to establish a fuller understanding of the ways in which our everyday practices can illuminate aspects of power, representation, social advocacy, and truth. Fine considers how circulatory maritime voyages resulted in a shared network of practices and knowledge that have been passed down to the descendants of these seafaring cultures, who still engage in and teach them in present day, most prominently in Micronesia.

writing and theory—both in everyday life and as public performances of social advocacy—Fine proposes a critical theory based in both traditional seafaring and poststructuralist rhetorical theory. Through this new framework, the book illustrates how an Indigenous body of knowledge has formed the foundations for contemporary maritime practices, how it has functioned as both domestic and international advocacy and resistance, and how these various practices work together to provide an epistemological alternative to Western modernity/coloniality.

Anatomy of Resettlement
Ethnographic Accounts and Stories in Retrospect Mohammad Zaman Anatomy of Resettlement: Ethnographic Accounts and Stories in Retrospect examines resettlement as a development strategy and the ongoing controversies and debate on resettlement as a development model. It chronicles the author’s views and experience gathered over a period of three decades in this highly problematic and much debated field. The narratives, based on his work in many countries, examine the state of resettlement and development policies and practices in four selected countries – Bangladesh, China, India, and Pakistan. The book demonstrates that resettlement works and that the affected people, including the marginal and vulnerable groups, benefit more from project development. The overall findings from the case studies lend strong support to the resettlement with development (RwD) paradigm, with an attempt to reframe the debate more toward the management of resettlement for better outcomes.

Home Is Where the Rajawala' Are
Living in Time and Space the Highland Maya Way Judith M. Maxwell & Ajpub’ García Ixmata’ The Mayan peoples of highland Guatemala live within an animate world, where the physical environment, ancestors, and surrounding people, plants, and animals are infused with spirit and presence. At the heart of this daily engagement are the ajq’ija’, Mayan spiritual guides who serve as mediators between human communities and the rajawala’—the vital, living energies of the world. This book offers insight into the foundational knowledge ajq’ija’ use to communicate with the rajawala’, revealing how the sacred becomes visible through time and space, shaping and protecting the landscapes where Maya communities live. Each community is surrounded by its own constellation of guardian energies and sacred altars. The authors also confront the modern threats facing these sacred spaces: restricted access by private landowners, the loss of traditional roles, vandalism, religious opposition, environmental degradation, and violence against UK May 2026 • US May 2026 256 Pages • 19 bw figures, 3 tables PB 9798216390947 • £28.99 / $39.95 HB 9781666933925 • £80.00 / $110.00 ePDF 9798216256250 • £72.00 / $99.00 ePub 9781978770133 • £72.00 / $99.00 Bloomsbury Academic

Canine Death in Canonical American Fiction Amelia (Molly) Labenski Canine Death in Canonical American Fiction investigates the presence of dogs in literature through an analysis of classic and popular novels. The author interrogates the “man’s best friend” trope and questions its validity by turning to fiction as a telling source of cultural attitudes towards animals and questions why dog death, specifically, is such a pervasive trope in literature. From sentimental tearjerkers like Fred Gipson’s Old Yeller to canonical classics like Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, this book examines the wealth of human-dog relations that the literary archive does not currently address and complicates prevalent assumptions of this relationship as inherently altruistic and symbiotic. Amelia Labenski argues that dogs carry a heavy symbolic weight in and outside of literature, where they often function as moral alibis or romantic stand-ins for our other, more explicitly harmful, relationships with animals.

Animal Oppression and Malev(i)olence
Hunting, Domesecration, Capitalism, and the Deformation of Human Society David Nibert While the dominant cultural narrative depicts the history of hunting, capturing, and killing of other animals as beneficial for human development, historical and contemporary evidence shows otherwise. Animal Oppression and Malev(i)olence: Hunting, Domesecration, Capitalism, and the Deformation of Human Society reveals the human practice of stalking, killing, exploiting, and eating other animals that led to the social construction of a malevolent, violent, and predacious form of masculinity and the start of human social stratification and oppression. Thereafter the course of human social development was placed on a deformative trajectory, leading to warfare, the emergence of deadly zoonotic disease, and terrorist-based colonial and imperialist orders. Primarily spread throughout the world by way of European conquests, and leading to the rise of capitalism, hunting and this violent and rapacious form of masculinity is continually promoted as Critical Animal Studies and Theory ideal training for warfare and global domination, especially in the United States.

Pills and Protest
Abortion Access in Ireland Brenna McCaffrey The Republic of Ireland lived under one of the strictest abortion bans in Europe for decades, then in 2018, their voters passed one of the most liberal abortion provision schemes in the world. Pills & Protest: Abortion Access in Ireland tells the story of how feminist activists strategically used abortion pills to help people while abortion was illegal and to influence the legal and medical changes to come. Drawing on three years of interviews with activists, doctors, and politicians in Ireland, Brenna McCaffrey illuminates the story of how the abortion pill transitioned from a controversial object to a legally recognized medical solution. The result is an energizing story – one of creative protest, passion, and activism in pursuit of reproductive freedom. Pills and Protest demonstrates how understanding medication abortion is essential to understanding reproductive healthcare in Ireland – and globally – today.

Spatial Residue
Plastic Affects and Configurations of Place Mauve Perle Tahat Spatial Residue: Plastic Affects and Configurations of Place explores how places, whether abandoned malls, haunted swamps, or vintage video games, hold residues of history, feeling, and imagination. Mauve Perle Tahat traces how plastic, as both material and metaphor, shapes our environments and our inner lives, linking the persistence of pollution to the persistence of memory. The book moves across cultural terrains while grounding its analysis in real spaces. Combining autotheory, spatial critique, and cultural analysis, Spatial Residue uncovers how sites of ruin, spectacle, and play reveal deeper truths about survival, resilience, and belonging. It is a book about how we navigate the strange and often dissonant worlds we inherit, and how we might imagine alternative futures from their residues.

Milk on the Side
Extended Chest/Breastfeeding in the United States Cassandra White, Georgia State University What does it look like for a child to be nursing beyond an age that is perceived as “normal”? Chest/breastfeeding is a fraught topic both in the U.S. and in many other countries, particularly when parents continue nursing beyond a few weeks. Popular media representations and opinions of chest/breastfeeding are polarizing: parents who struggle to produce breastmilk are often made to feel inadequate by public health and media suggestions that “breast is best”. At the same time, those who practice extended nursing are often told that they are damaging their child’s physical and psychological development.

The book explores the issue of chest/breastfeeding from many different contexts, including medical, policy, and familial pressures. Ultimately, readers will better understand why some parents practice extended nursing and how stigmas regarding child feeding impact all parents.

Encyclopedia of Hair A Cultural History
Victoria Sherrow, Independent Scholar, USA This popular volume on the culture of hair through human history and around the globe has been updated and revised to include even more entries and current information. How we style our hair has the ability to shape the way others perceive us. For example, in 2017, the singer Macklemore denounced his hipster undercut hairstyle, a style that is associated with Hitler Youth and alt-right men, and in 2015, actress Rose McGowan shaved her head in order to take a stance against the traditional Hollywood sex symbol stereotype. This volume examines how hair — or lack thereof — can be an important symbol of gender, class, and culture around the world and through history. Hairstyles have come to represent cultural heritage and memory, and even political leanings, social beliefs, and identity. This second edition builds upon the original volume, updating all entries that have evolved over the last decade, such as by discussing hipster culture in the entries on beards and mustaches and recent medical breakthroughs in hair loss. New entries have been added that look at specific world regions, hair coverings, political symbolism behind certain styles, and other topics.

Have you heard about
BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS? A progressive open access model for books BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. By prioritising authors that are often underrepresented in scholarly publishing, including early-career and unaffiliated researchers and those based in/writing about low- and lower-middle- income countries, we hope to engage a more diverse author base, bringing their work to a wider global audience.
THE BOOKS Following the success of the previous three years, in 2026-27 we will continue to offer three collections of 20 titles each in: • African Studies & International Development • Environment & Climate Change • Gender & Sexuality
BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES • Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 60 research titles available open access immediately on publication at no cost to the authors • Receive guaranteed perpetual access to the 20 titles in each Open Collection you participate in • Receive 1 year’s access to ~150 backlist titles in related areas for each Open Collection you participate in • Be publicly acknowledged on our website
HOW TO PARTICIPATE For more information and to discuss participating in the 2026-27 programme, contact our Online Sales team: In the UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia: OnlineSalesUK@bloomsbury.com In the Americas: OnlineSalesUS@bloomsbury.com Australia and New Zealand: OnlineSalesANZ@bloomsbury.com
