Moving Subjects, Moving Objects: Transnationalism, Cultural Production and Emotions: 1

“The editor has assembled a welcoming rage of case studies that go beyond the European locale to include Africa, North America, Asia and the Caribbean. The book spans an unexpected scope of fine-grained ethnographies that put the diasporic, social and emotional agency of material culture at the centre of analysis.” – Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale
