Cuando la cultura se adapta al movimiento, ¿dónde se sitúa un antropólogo? Viajes, diásporas, cruces de fronteras, construcción de hogares lejos del propio: he aquí los dilemas transculturales de hoy, mientras vagamos por los lugares y no-lugares de un mundo marcado por intensos procesos de descolonización y globalización. James Clifford investiga los desplazamientos geográficos, las mezclas de culturas y su potencial creador de nuevas prácticas. En este collage de ensayos, reflexiones, poemas e informes de viajes —que abarca desde la zona montañosa de Nueva Guinea hasta el norte de California, desde Vancouver hasta Londres—, el investigador utiliza el viaje y su difícil acompañante, el traslado cultural, como aperturas a una modernidad compleja y abigarrada. Contempla un mundo cada vez más conectado, pero no por eso homogéneo; una historia global que proviene de abundantes legados en parte saturados por la exploración, la colonización, la expansión capitalista, la inmigración, la movilidad laboral y el turismo.

Attempting to connect the academic discussion around the anthropology and philosophy of the emotions to real-life, everyday experiences, this collection brings together concrete cases and situations arising from specific social and political contexts throughout the Americas. In particular, the authors explore how emotions are generated, constructed, discovered, manipulated, and experienced throughout the Americas by exploring undertheorized topics ranging from investigating the emotional lives of prisoners in Colombia and Brazil who have committed “crimes of passion,” to Colombian soldiers’ experiences of core “emotional events,” to the role of emotions in immigration policy in the United States, to how emotions affect educators’ abilities to teach certain material. Taken as a whole, this innovative, interdisciplinary, collection of original essays is not merely comparative, but rather seeks to bring voices and methodologies from North and South America into conversation to generate innovative analyses and ways to reflect about emotions in response to violence, state policies, and educational systems.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, a generation of children crossed the border from the United States to begin their lives anew in Mexico. While all were international migrants, their roots spread far and wide. Some were migrant returnees born in Mexico; others had only ever known a life in the United States. All children born in Mexico become returnees upon their arrival in Mexico, while children born in the United States arrive in Mexico for the first time in their lives. Yet in Mexico, the attempt to define these youths' affiliations in relation to their new home is much more complex, yielding new insights into our contemporary understanding of integration and belonging. This book is the product of twenty-five years' worth of rich, interdisciplinary dialogue and research on these children's trajectories, tracing their complex journeys of integration—and the lack thereof—into Mexican society and institutions.
