Simeon Magliveras replied to Stacy A A Hope's discussion BOOK REVIEW: The Impossibility of Self: an essay on the Hmong Diaspora by Nicholas Tapp in the group OAC Book Reviews"First I would agree with much of Kieth's summation about reading various theorists. We must be aware of both native and non-native perspectives. In my experience local literature follows cultural constructions of…"
John McCreery replied to Stacy A A Hope's discussion BOOK REVIEW: The Impossibility of Self: an essay on the Hmong Diaspora by Nicholas Tapp in the group OAC Book Reviews"Holistic understanding is a wonderful ideal and a useful reminder to pause and consider, both during fieldwork and writing up, what we are neglecting. That said, it may be useful to consider what "holistic" might entail if the population…"
"Simeon, I think we agree that dividing the world into the West and the Rest or Civilizations and Tribes is very helpful. We also agree that peoples previously treated as being outside or without history should be given their proper place in the…"

I think extensive fieldwork mayhelp in understanding the self. Only by understanding the motivations of the people studied from a holistic point of view can we come close to understanding such personal experiences. This is a very typical…"

After serving in the Vietnam War and then living in SE Asia for two years, I had direct contact with the people of Laos and Cambodia (Laotians and Hmong) on many occasions. Later in California, my Asian graduate advisor (who…"

Philip Swift said… - Dear Stacy,
I was thinking of submitting a review - not written yet! - of Thinking Through Things (Holbraad, Henare and Wastell, eds). Actually, Amiria Salmond suggested the idea to me of doing the review in the first place.
Wonder what you think. Also, I'm aware that Martin Holbraad is up in January for the next OAC seminar, so the timing might be good, possibly?
Regards,
Phil Swift

Sorry if I've accepted your invitation to the reviewers group with so much delay! I was in the full of the preparation for my Ph.D. admission examinations that I passed on Nov. 10th. Now I would be happy to get involved with the group and reviews... hope to help in some way! Have a nice day!

- Hello Stacy,
My name is Jara Hulkenberg. I have just started a post-doc position at the Centre for Pacific Studies in St Andrews to do research with Fijian migrants living at the military barracks in Edinburgh. Craig Lind advised me to contact you, because I am interested to write a review of Greame Were's book 'Lines that Connect'. I don't have it yet, but Craig said I might be able to obtain it via you?
All the Best,
Jara

Craig Lind said… - Hi Stacy... Indeed, yes, the "viva"!!! I've been in hiding, preparing for that, until now. Glad to say it went very well with Christina as my internal and Knut as external - I'll have a proper think about that review now that I have my head back!! Hope all is very well with you, take care...

- Hi Stacy! Thanks, that's a very kind invitation - I'd love to! I've added the OAC book review group to my groups (still haven't taken the time to look around the OAC site properly). I'll have to check out any guidelines you have, though I did take a moment to have a glance at titles for review. Couple of things in front of me at the moment - the most arresting being my viva on 29th this month, which is blinkering me somewhat! I'll drop you a line when I get up to speed on what is required of me, though please do let me know if there is anything I should know... Take care, Craig

- Makes me feel rather lazy!! But that's not hard!! Me... awaiting my viva and doing a bit of writing while wondering about the future... Glad to hear your well.

- Hi Stacy - thank you, thank you!!! Hope all is very well with you... You keeping nice and busy??
