A New Theory about the Origin of Thailand's Language and People. . . Walking the World 2, Book Two of Terrence Kero's ground-breaking trilogy about human migration, tells the story of how five ethnic/linguistic hunter-gatherer clans left Africa some eighty thousand years ago and migrated to the western border of Thailand over the course of many millennia. The novel opens in 2011 at the University of California Berkeley, where Hanna Koskinen is an anthropology graduate student planning to write her PhD thesis on early human migration. When she becomes friends with Leewan Somwan, her next-door neighbor from Thailand, she begins to consider making Thailand the focus of her research, and when she falls in love with Leewan's brother, Chaat, her decision is sealed. Chaat is a brilliant linguist who has developed a theory about the earliest prototypes of the five major Southeast Asian language families, and Hanna thinks she can use his theory, along with human population genetics and age-dated archaeological discoveries, to support the bold argument she wants to make in her thesis: that Thailand was the initial gateway for the first migration of homo sapiens to Southeast Asia. Stories imagining the tragedies and joys of these prehistoric people on their arduous journeys are interspersed with the present-day narrative of the tragedies and joys of the Koskinen and Somwan families, a narrative culminating in dramatic revelations about the early ancestry of the Somwans and the unexpected links that bond humankind.

Walking the World 3, Book Three of Terrence Kero's groundbreaking trilogy about human migration, tells the story of how hunter-gatherer clans left Africa some 80,000 years ago, eventually migrated to Siberia, and walked across the Bering Land Bridge to North America during the last ice age, 12,000 to 24,000 years ago. Over the millennia, the Americas were populated by these ancient clans, the ancestors of today's indigenous tribes. The novel opens in 2015, when Hanna Koskinen, an anthropologist and expert in human migration, presents two papers at an international conference on the first migrations from Africa to Europe and to Asia. In attendance is James Wellington, chair of the Anthropology Department at Stanford University, who is impressed and offers Hanna a postdoctoral fellowship to research the first migrations to the Americas. It is a difficult decision for her, because she is teaching at a university in Thailand so that her son, Chaat, can be close to his Thai grandparents, but she finally accepts. During her initial research at Stanford, she finds DNA data identifying the hunter-gatherer clans that first migrated to the Americas, but there are conflicting theories about when those first migrations occurred. That is the riddle Hanna must solve. Interspersed with the narrative of her research and her budding romance with James Wellington are stories imagining the heroism and tragedies of those first people and their descendants, along with revelations about unexpected connections between Hanna's family and Indian tribes in Mississippi and Brazil.

Walking the World, the first novel of Terrence Kero's groundbreaking trilogy about human migration, tells the compelling story of prehistoric hunter-gatherers who had no crops, no domesticated animals, and no means of transportation besides their feet, people who walked and walked until they eventually populated the world. The novel opens in San Francisco in 1999, when Lisa Koskinen receives a gift from a distant relative in Finland: an odd necklace made of large canine teeth strung on a leather thong. With the help of carbon-dating and DNA analysis, Lisa and her parents gradually trace the history of the necklace and their family back to their earliest origins. Alternating between the present day and flashbacks to the bloody, dramatic first migration to Finland, Walking the World will have you living through heartbreaking struggles, intense romances, life-and-death encounters, crimes of passion, violent deaths, joyous births-all the tragedies and triumphs of the Koskinen clan from the dawn of time to the current day.

This is the first book to develop a postmigrant analytical perspective for the study of art, concentrating on how postmigration reopens the study of contemporary art and migration. The book introduces art historians and other scholars with a methodological interest in cultural analysis to the innovative concept of postmigration, offering a comprehensive introduction to the various meanings and uses of the term as well as translating it methodologically to an art historical context. The book analyses art projects from Denmark, Germany and Great Britain, which address some of the current challenges to European societies of immigration, and by drawing on theory from fields such as migration studies, transcultural studies and feminist, postcolonial and political theory, as well as re-engaging established concepts such as imagination, commemoration, belonging, identity, racialization, community, public space and participation. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, art and politics, migration studies, and transcultural studies.

The first in an epic trilogy, Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies is "a remarkably rich saga . . . which has plenty of action and adventure à la Dumas, but moments also of Tolstoyan penetration--and a drop or two of Dickensian sentiment" (The Observer [London]). At the heart of this vibrant saga is a vast ship, the Ibis. Her destiny is a tumultuous voyage across the Indian Ocean shortly before the outbreak of the Opium Wars in China. In a time of colonial upheaval, fate has thrown together a diverse cast of Indians and Westerners on board, from a bankrupt raja to a widowed tribeswoman, from a mulatto American freedman to a free-spirited French orphan. As their old family ties are washed away, they, like their historical counterparts, come to view themselves as jahaj-bhais, or ship-brothers. The vast sweep of this historical adventure spans the lush poppy fields of the Ganges, the rolling high seas, and the exotic backstreets of Canton. With a panorama of characters whose diaspora encapsulates the vexed colonial history of the East itself, Sea of Poppies is "a storm-tossed adventure worthy of Sir Walter Scott" (Vogue).
