An Anthropology of Crosslocations introduces a new approach to understanding location. Geographical space is often perceived as divided by state borders, but it can also be classified and segmented based on, for example, ecosystems or religious structures and beliefs. The book shows how different locating logics coexist in a single place and how this influences people's lives. The authors are anthropologists who draw on ethnographic and historical research from locations across the Mediterranean region.
Book Details“Slava Ukraini!” Strategy and the Spirit of Ukrainian Resistance tells the story of the volunteers lauded to have saved Ukraine twice. First in the spring of 2014 after the onset of the war in Donbas, and again in February 2022 after the large-scale Russian invasion. Aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, this volume makes significant contributions to our understanding of events in Ukraine over the past decade. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with volunteer battalion fighters, the volume focuses on strategy, or the creation, control, and use of force. In addition, “Slava Ukraini!” discusses the volunteers’ long-term sociological impact in Ukraine. While the volunteers may have initially exacerbated internal divisions in Ukraine, their spirit of 2014 also embodied the beginning of Ukrainian resistance, which in 2022 flared-up on a national scale.
