The Life-Giving Stone: Ethnoarchaeology Of Maya Metates [Review], Jennifer P. Mathews
The Life-Giving Stone: Ethnoarchaeology Of Maya Metates [Review], Jennifer P. Mathews
Jennifer P Mathews
This volume attempts to get at the interpretations of the archaeological record from the back-end by studying the modern Maya metate life cycle, including procurement, production, acquisition, use and discard. The author spent two years in Guatemala conducting ethnographic research with metate producers and users in three Maya communities. It is through this rich research that he greatly expands our understanding of metates by providing background of their complexity through several avenues. For example, he documents contemporary gifting traditions, noting that families still give metates as wedding gifts to couples, even as their use decreases with the presence of electric …
A Pre-Columbian World [Review], Jennifer P. Mathews
A Pre-Columbian World [Review], Jennifer P. Mathews
Jennifer P Mathews
This excellent volume arose out of the 2001 Dumbarton Oaks symposium, “A Pre-Columbian World.” The proposal of the symposium, in response to the recent trend of hyperdifferentiating cultures and emphasizing geographic and cultural boundaries, was to examine commonalities of the pre-Columbian world. The subsequent well-crafted, 11-chapter volume examines “the Americas” through the research of scholars working in North, Central, and South America. A number of themes emerge, including a call to Americanist archaeologists to remember that the geographic and political boundaries that we have placed on the ancient world are not real and that we should once again consider the …
Houses In A Landscape: Memory And Everyday Life In Mesoamerica [Review], Jennifer P. Mathews
Houses In A Landscape: Memory And Everyday Life In Mesoamerica [Review], Jennifer P. Mathews
Jennifer P Mathews
Using the material remains found in and around ancient Maya domestic spaces in three settlements in Honduras, Hendon examines how aspects of everyday life, rather than ritual and commemoration, transform these shared spaces into ‘places of memory’. She argues that social memory is a reconstructive process and that human groups re-envision the past in light of present circumstances. Social memory – or what she refers to as ‘memory communities' – would have involved an interaction with the remains of the dead, buried within the context of their social spaces. In other words, memory is an active process that binds people …
Utatlán: The Constituted Community Of The K’Iche’ Maya Of Q’Umarkaj [Review], Jennifer P. Mathews
Utatlán: The Constituted Community Of The K’Iche’ Maya Of Q’Umarkaj [Review], Jennifer P. Mathews
Jennifer P Mathews
This volume is the culmination of fieldwork that was carried out in the 1970s at Greater Utatlán, made up of several communities surrounding the ceremonial centre of Q'umarkaj and the famed home of the Popol Wuj. Although he completed his dissertation in 1980, Babcock freely admits that life got in the way of publishing at the time, and I commend him for returning to it three decades later. This temporal distance offers the advantage of being able to review the initial work within the context of later research and to incorporate the wisdom attained since the initial writing of the …

Bad News For Refugees By Greg Philo, Emma Briant And Pauline Donald London: Pluto Press, 2013. 203 Pp. (Isbn 978 0 7453 3432 5), David Feldman
Bad News For Refugees By Greg Philo, Emma Briant And Pauline Donald London: Pluto Press, 2013. 203 Pp. (Isbn 978 0 7453 3432 5), David Feldman
The Journal of International Relations, Peace Studies, and Development
A project of researchers associated with the Glasgow Media Group, Bad News for Refugees seeks to shed light on the role of the media in shaping public opinion of refugees in the United Kingdom. Activists have denounced the increasing vilification of refugees by politicians and the press over the past decade and a half, and highlighted its coincidence with a shift towards a more punitive state response (Webber 2012). In view of the anti-migrant Ukip party’s triumph in the EU parliamentary elections of May 2014, this book is an especially timely study that could prove useful in the fight against …
Corporate Europe: How Big Business Sets Policies On Food, Climate And War By David Cronin London: Pluto Press, 2013. 216 Pp. (Isbn: 9780745333328), Steve Mcgiffen
The Journal of International Relations, Peace Studies, and Development
David Cronin’s book is based on years as a journalist in Brussels looking at the way in which the European Union’s institutions really work. This reviewer spent thirteen years working at the European Parliament and, before that, five years sharing his time between academe and work as an advisor to a Member of that same Parliament. Cronin and I have come to very much the same conclusions. If our analysis is not largely reflected in that of the vast majority of academic ‘experts’ on the European Union, it has become almost ubiquitous out there on the streets and in the …

Review Of Managing Disasters And Disasters And The American State, Daniel P. Aldrich
Review Of Managing Disasters And Disasters And The American State, Daniel P. Aldrich
Daniel P Aldrich
These two new books tackle the topic of disaster management and response from very different angles but share a focus on the role of public- and private-sector institutions in managing crises. Both works suggest that the United States should attempt a more optimal balance among private, public, and local actors than can be found in current disaster management systems.
