Multispecies Families: Pets, Community, and Social Action
In this essay, I reflect on what I learned about human–animal relationships, families, and community through volunteering at an animal shelter, and how I translated these insights into founding a nonprofit community organization, Animal Advocates of Greater Lafayette (AAGL). I first discuss the increasing research and scholarship in the social work field that examines the role of pets in human lives. I describe my methodological frame, drawing on…
Animals, Community, and Justice Matters in Critical Times
In this essay, I explore my story as an activist and my current critical community engagement project, Animal Advocates of Greater Lafayette. Animal Advocates merges my activism and my scholarship. I begin by providing stories of my experience as a student and community activist in Boston in the 1980s. I then discuss my more recent volunteer experiences, which led to the formation of Animal Advocates of Greater Lafayette. I share stories of the e…

Animal Welfare and Animal Rights
Veterinarians routinely position themselves as the professionals who are most knowledgeable about non-human animals, and the public turns to them for guidance in matters of animal health and welfare. However, as research indicates, there is a considerable gap between what the public thinks veterinarians know and the actual veterinary curriculum. This study investigates the perspectives of veterinary students towards issues of animal welfare and a…
Animal Research on Campus: Reflections on My Experience in the Field
In this essay, I discuss my experience as a member of my university’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Using Blum’s (2016 Blum, S. (2016). “I love learning, I hate school”: An anthropology of college. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press. [Google Scholar]) model of experiential learning (or “learning in the wild”), I reflect on the connected processes of reading, thinking, seeing, hearing, smelling, talking, and listening that…

Popular Culture and Public Space in Africa: The Possibilities of Cultural Citizenship
Popular culture in Africa is increasingly intertwined with the public space of nations. Drawing on contemporary scholarship on popular culture, citizenship, and identity in transnational and global contexts, this article analyzes the phenomenal success of the television showBig Brother Africain 2003 and argues that people's everyday engagement with popular culture, including television, must be a central component of understanding emergent public…

A Small Place: Jamaica Kincaid and a Methodology of Connection
In this article, the author looks at the methodological implications of Jamaica Kincaid's (1988) book, A Small Place, for ethnographic inquiry. Kincaid's incisive critique of tourist practices in her birthplace, Antigua, forefronts the significance of connection as a paradigm for ethnography. Drawing on Kincaid's writing, the author argues that researchers' analysis of everyday practices and places must be situated within the global connections t…
Making White: Constructing Race in a South African High School
As a social and cultural phenomenon, race is continually remade within changing circumstances and is constructed and located, in part, in institutions’ pedagogical practices and discourses. In this article I examine how the administration of a multiracial, working-class high school in Durban, South Africa produces “white” in an era of political and social transition.As the population of Fernwood High School (a pseudonym) shifts from majority whit…

Constructing race: Youth, identity, and popular culture in South Africa
"As apartheid crumbled in South Africa, racial identity was thrown into question. Based on a year-long ethnographic study of a multiracial high school in Durban, this book explores how youth make meaning of the still powerful, yet changing, idea of race. In a world saturated with media images and global commodities, fashion and music become charged, polarized racial identifiers. As youth engage with this world, race simultaneously persists and fa…
White Fright: The politics of white youth identity in South Africa
In the 1990s, 'whiteness' in South Africa was open to multiple rearticulations. As white is politically (although not necessarily economically) unhinged from a position of privilege, it finds new paths and trajectories to follow. In this article, I examine how white students at a predominantly black high school in Durban remake and resuscitate whiteness. Using the strategy of resentment, white students negate and dismiss both the historical and c…

The Shifting Ground of Race: The role of taste in youth's production of identities
The production of racial identities is situated within the play of history, politics, the economy and culture. For students at Fernwood High School (a pseudonym) in South Africa, 'race' is undergoing a transformation. No longer legally bound by apartheid racial categorisations, the formation of race rotates around new axes. Based on a 1-year ethnographic study of Fernwood, the author argues that students construct race through, in Bourdieu's term…

Youth and the global popular: The politics and practices of race in South Africa
Global popular culture is an increasingly significant site for the negotiation of identities. At Fernwood High School (a pseudonym), an urban, multiracial school in Durban, South Africa, the global popular is the fulcrum for the production of race and racial politics among students. Students' affective investments in popular culture become racialized, contextualized within the forces of contemporary South Africa, and intertwined with local racial…
The uses of culture: Canon formation, postcolonial literature and the multicultural project
This essay directly challenges the easy opposition of the canon to non‐Western and Third World literature and the curricular project of content addition and replacement that now guides mainstream multicultural frameworks. The authors argue that this opposition is illegitimate and that, further, it is not empirically based. Instead, they insist that even a cursory glance at the literature of the Hispanic, African American and Caribbean writers rev…
