Embark on a captivating voyage to the heart of Pukapuka, a Polynesian island brimming with cultural heritage and anthropological intrigue. This comprehensive exploration unravels the intricate tapestry of knowledge that binds this island community together, offering a profound understanding of its history, traditions, and the complexities of human experience. Through the lens of anthropology, we delve into the depths of Pukapukan society, navigating the labyrinth of social structure, kinship, and the enduring legacy of chiefly lineages. We immerse ourselves in the vibrant expressions of cultural identity, from the exquisite arts and crafts to the enchanting melodies and rhythms of Pukapukan music. We seek to comprehend the significance of language, the nuances of verbal communication, and the preservation of endangered languages. Our journey takes us to the heart of Pukapukan economic life, where we examine the traditional practices that have sustained the community for generations. We trace the impact of colonialism on economic systems and explore the challenges of sustainable development and resource management. We delve into the political landscape, charting the evolution of governance structures and the dynamics of political leadership. We navigate the currents of religion and spirituality, exploring the diverse beliefs and practices that shape Pukapukan culture. We uncover the significance of sacred sites and rituals, examining the role of religion in shaping cultural values and traditions. We delve into the delicate balance between human activities and environmental conservation, highlighting the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation. Finally, we set sail into the winds of change, investigating the impact of globalization and modernization on Pukapukan society. We ponder the preservation of cultural heritage in a rapidly changing world, the challenges and opportunities of cultural adaptation, and the resilience of the Pukapukan people in the face of change. Enriched by the wisdom of Pukapukan elders, the insights of anthropologists, and the voices of the Pukapukan people themselves, this book is an invaluable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of Polynesian culture, anthropology, and the complexities of human society. It is a testament to the enduring power of tradition, the resilience of the human spirit, and the intricate tapestry of knowledge that weaves us all together. If you like this book, write a review!

This volume breaks new ground in the study of landscapes, both rural and urban. The innovative notion of this landscape collection is rupture. The book explores the ways in which societal, economic and cultural changes are transforming the meanings and understandings of landscapes. The text explores both how landscapes are contesting changes in society and changing society. The volume combines empirically fine-grained accounts of landscape rupture, from different parts of the world, with a sustained effort to explore, rethink and analytically extend the concept of rupture itself. The book therefore combines fresh empirical data with innovative theoretical approaches to open understanding of landscape as a dynamic, living entity subject to abrupt change and unpredictable disruptions. Through this dual reflection the volume is able to provide a powerful demonstration of the possibilities that are available for human action, social change and material landscape to combine.

This book explores the dynamics of the "middle-class global rebellion" born of the frustration at declining living standards. Addressing narratives constructed by different social and political agents and groups, it examines contexts of social crisis in Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, understanding the middle classes as a set of complex and conflicting political relationships. With attention to the manner in which people create "situated habits", consolidating new expectations and desires through a concrete biography, it analyzes continuities and changes in classed self-perceptions based on performative use. With new perspectives, including historical and intersectional approaches, Middle Class Identities and Social Crisis transcends disciplinary boundaries to explore the hybridity of research methods and techniques and challenge established analytical frameworks. It will therefore appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in class and questions of class identity.

This book explores the identities, embodied experiences, and personal relationships of young people experiencing homelessness, and analyses these in relation to the material and symbolic position that youth homelessness occupies in modern societies. Drawing on empirical research conducted in both urban and rural areas, the book situates young people’s experiences of homelessness within a theoretical framework that connects embodied identities and relationships with processes of social change. The book theorises a ‘symbolic economy of youth homelessness’ that encompasses the subjective, aesthetic, and relational dimensions of homelessness. This theory shows the personal, interpersonal and affective suffering that is caused by the relations of power and privilege that produce contemporary youth homelessness. The book is unique in the way in which it places youth homelessness within the wider contexts of inequality, and social change. Whilst contemporary discussions of youth homelessness understand the topic as a discrete ‘social problem’, this book demonstrates the position that youth homelessness occupies within wider social processes, inequalities, and theoretical debates, addressing theories of social change in late modernity and their relationship to the cultural construction of youth. These theoretical debates are made concrete by means of an exploration of an important form of contemporary inequality: youth homelessness.
