Travelling towards Home
Travelling Towards Home
As we grapple with a growing refugee crisis, a hardening of anti-immigration sentiment, and deepening communal segregation in many parts of the developed world, questions of the nature of home and homemaking are increasingly critical. This collection brings ethnographic insight into the practices of homemaking, exploring a diverse range of contexts ranging from economic migrants to new Chinese industrial cities, Jewish returnees from Israel to Uk…
Anthropology and Festivals
Festivals and carnivals are significant contemporary phenomena in societies across the world. In many of these contexts, the numbers of events calling themselves festivals are growing.1 They range
Adat di Maluku
The religious-ethnic violence in Maluku has unearthed a complex network of rivalries, inequalities and rhetoric. Opinions as to the causes of the conflict, and possible avenues for reconciliation are extremely diverse, and reflect many of the tensions and challenges faced by Indonesia as a whole, as it moves towards decentralization.

Food is the medium for Brick Lane's transformation, yet the use of food as a cen…
Strange People But They Sure Can Cook!”
This article follows a group of Indonesian migrant women in Sydney as they planned and ran a cookery course at a local adult education college. It shows how a focus on domestic culinary knowledge revealed important understandings of their lived experience. In particular, it argues that this knowledge can act as a mediator and reference point for the journey the women have made in moving to Australia, both marking and enabling this form of "travel…

Video for recording and training in participatory development
The authors offer some initial thoughts on the potential of using video to record Participatory Rural Research (PRR) sessions, highlighting the medium's apparent strengths and weaknesses compared to taking written notes and/or still photographs. They conclude that the use of video should be considered afresh in different contexts so as to determine whether its use is appropriate and desirable. This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & F…
