  • The Social Cost of Cheap Food

    Susan LevineARTICLELabor Studies in Working-Class…2022

    Reading this book brought to mind John Walton's Fish and Chips and the British Working Class, 1870–1940 (1992), one of the first books in food history and one that has remained a touchstone in the field. Like Walton, Rioux places working-class people and work at the center not only of the history of food but also of the tectonic shifts in capitalism and the relationship between capital and labor. Where Walton's book drilled down into everyday com…

  • Bodies of Knowledge

    Efua Prah, Susan LevineBOOKBodies of Knowledge2021

    Spanning the countries of South Africa, Swaziland, and Ghana, this collection of work brings into focus child and youth experience together as a collage of anthropology, creative writing, poetry, and the fine arts.

  • Identifying knowledge needed to improve surgical care in Southern Africa using a theory of change approach

    Open AccessDanyca Shadé Breedt, Maria Lisa Odland et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Surgical healthcare has been prioritised in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), a regional intergovernmental entity promoting equitable and sustainable economic growth and socioeconomic development. However, challenges remain in translating political prioritisation into effective and equitable surgical healthcare. The AfroSurg Collaborative (AfroSurg) includes clinicians, public health professionals and social scientists from six S…

  • Children's Early Decontextualized Talk Predicts Academic Language Proficiency in Midadolescence

    Open AccessPaola Uccelli, Özlem Ece Demir-Lira et al.ARTICLEChild Development2019

    This study examines whether children's decontextualized talk—talk about nonpresent events, explanations, or pretend—at 30 months predicts seventh-grade academic language proficiency (age 12). Academic language (AL) refers to the language of school texts. AL proficiency has been identified as an important predictor of adolescent text comprehension. Yet research on precursors to AL proficiency is scarce. Child decontextualized talk is known to be a…

  • Blood, Sweat, and Fear

    Levine, Susan LevineARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    In this provocative volume, Jeremy Milloy, a postdoctoral fellow at the Frost Centre for Canadian and Indigenous Studies at Trent University, suggests that labor historians (and, by extension, historians generally) should consider violence as a central category of analysis. By looking at violence, he argues, historians can better understand social relations and workplace cultures. He sees violence simultaneously as a material reality, which is ex…

  • Effects of age and language on co-speech gesture production

    Open AccessJean-Marc Colletta, Michèle Guidetti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2015

    The aim of this paper is to compare speech and co-speech gestures observed during a narrative retelling task in five- and ten-year-old children from three different linguistic groups, French, American, and Italian, in order to better understand the role of age and language in the development of multimodal monologue discourse abilities. We asked 98 five- and ten-year-old children to narrate a short, wordless cartoon. Results showed a common develo…

  • From Field to Table in Labor History

    Susan Levine, Steve StrifflerARTICLELabor Studies in Working-Class…2015

    This special issue of Labor challenges historians to think about food and work in ways that not only include the production of food but also explore the connections between the work of food, the place of food in working-class life, and the very nature and trajectory of capitalism itself. We start this discussion by charting the places of labor history within food studies and food studies within labor history, arguing that the two bodies of litera…

  • The race of nimble fingers

    This article considers the socioeconomic changes that have impacted on the lives of poor children since the end of apartheid in South Africa. In particular, the article highlights the ways in which child labour legislation after 1994 has had the unintended consequence of deepening chronic hunger and childhood poverty on food-rich farms where children formerly participated as seasonal or part-time workers. Drawing on more than 10 years of ethnogra…

  • L’incidence de la culture et de la langue dans les récits parlés et les gestes d’enfants français, italiens et américains âgés de 6 et 10 ans

    Open AccessOlga Capirci, Jean-Marc Colletta et al.ARTICLELidil2010Referencias: 2

    La culture, la langue et l'âge ont une incidence sur les conduites langagières en général. Dans le cas présent, nous avons voulu vérifier de quelle façon les conduites narratives multimodales (paroles et gestes) sont sensibles à ces trois facteurs, afin de mieux apprécier le rôle respectif des acquisitions linguistiques et du développement cognitif dans l'évolution des capacités discursives chez l'enfant. L'étude porte sur plus de 150 récits parl…

  • Documentary film matters

    Levine, Susan LevineARTICLECritical Arts2007Citada por: 2Referencias: 11

    Interpretive frameworks in visual media studies suggest that audiences are active agents in the construction of meaning. As a discipline that emphasizes the value of an interpretive approach, visual anthropology has much to offer by way of informing media advocacy programmes geared towards HIV/Aids education. This paper grapples with the conundrum presented by the agency of audiences to interpret documentary film within the context of the politic…

  • Invisible Hands

    Levine, Susan LevineARTICLEAfrican Affairs2007Citada por: 1

    Agency is a concept that scholars use to redress the historical undermining of the role that oppressed peoples play in the making of history. This concept is evoked so convincingly in Invisible Hands: Child Labor and the State in Colonial Zimbabwe that one would very much like to re-think other historical accounts of child labour. In 1890, when the British South Africa Company entered what was to become Southern Rhodesia, colonialists found that …
