What if the Irish folklore, legends, and mythology were real? Antron: The Forgotten Isle answers this question through the epic story of a young girl living in Ireland during the early 20th century. Through a shift of fate, Katie Sullivan and her companions are swept into a parallel world, where the ancient Irish mythical creatures have been preserved from the sands of time. Antron, the pure country, was once a land of beauty ruled by pure and just creatures. However, in recent years, evil has fallen upon the country. The very spirits and faeris who preserve the land are disunited, and it seems that the fate of Antron rests in the hands of the only race of creatures who can save her: humans from another world. Taking a fresh twist on the classic images of banshees, fairis, and leprechauns, and adding other less-known creatures from Irish mythology, Antron: The Forgotten Isle, is a fantasy novel rich in ancient Irish culture and filled to the brim with medieval excitement and danger.

Framing Sukkot

Tradition and Transformation in Jewish Vernacular Architecture

By: Gabrielle Anna Berlinger

An “important and timely” study of the Jewish holiday’s temporary shelters and the meaning of home (Journal of Folklore Research). The sukkah, the symbolic ritual home built during the annual Jewish holiday of Sukkot, commemorates the temporary structures that sheltered the Israelites as they journeyed across the desert after the exodus from Egypt. Despite the simple Biblical prescription for its design, the remarkable variety of creative expression in the construction, decoration, and use of the sukkah, in both times of peace and national upheaval, reveals the cultural traditions, political convictions, philosophical ideals, and individual aspirations that the sukkah communicates for its builders and users today. In this ethnography of contemporary Sukkot observance, Gabrielle Anna Berlinger examines the powerful role of ritual and vernacular architecture in the formation of self and society in three sharply contrasting Jewish communities: Bloomington, Indiana; South Tel Aviv, Israel; and Brooklyn, New York. Through vivid description and in-depth interviews, she demonstrates how constructing and decorating the sukkah and performing the weeklong holiday’s rituals of hospitality provide unique circumstances for creative expression, social interaction, and political struggle. Through an exploration of the intersections between the rituals of Sukkot and contemporary issues, such as the global Occupy movement, Berlinger finds that the sukkah becomes a tangible expression of the need for housing and economic justice, as well as a symbol of the longing for home. “Berlinger’s rich and nuanced ethnography sheds light on many sukkot from Bloomington to Tel Aviv, Jaffa, and Jerusalem, and back to Brooklyn; like the wandering in the Sinai desert, this journey is crucial.” —Journal of American Folklore

Understanding ExtrACTIVISM

Culture and Power in Natural Resource Disputes

By: Anna J. Willow

Understanding ExtrACTIVISM surveys how contemporary resource extractive industry works and considers the responses it inspires in local citizens and activists. Chapters cover a range of extractive industries operating around the world, including logging, hydroelectric dams, mining, and oil and natural gas extraction. Taking an activist anthropological stance, Anna Willow examines how culture and power inform recent and ongoing disputes between projects’ proponents and opponents, beneficiaries and victims. Through a series of engaging case studies, she argues that diverse contemporary natural resource conflicts are underlain by a culturally constituted ‘extractivist’ mind-set and embedded in global patterns of political inequity. Offering a synthesizing framework for making sense of complex interconnections among environmental, social, and political dimensions of natural resource disputes, Willow reflects on why extractivism exists, why it matters, and what we might be able to do about it. The book is valuable reading for students and researchers in the environmental social sciences as well as for activists and practitioners.
