[Anthropgrad] Reviewers needed!

[Phil Winn]

The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology (TAPJA) is a leading
anthropology journal (ERA ranking: A) edited at the ANU and published by
Routledge four times each year.

We would like to remind academics and PhD students alike that TAPJA
holds a number of books available for review, as well as accepting
individual requests to obtain a review copy of a title of interest.
(Note that we offer support to students writing their first review,
including advice and occasional workshops).

Among the review books currently available are:

?Sport, Revolution and the Beijing Olympics? by Grant Jarvie, Dong-Jhy
Hwang and Mel Brennan (2008). Oxford and New York, Berg Publishers

These authors offer a cultural history of sport in China and Taiwan and
an exploration of its significance, to government and in an everyday
sense. Along the way, numerous ingrained Western assumptions are
challenged.

 ?Boats to Burn: Bajo Fishing Activity in the Australian Fishing Zone?
Natasha Stacey (2007). Asia-Pacific Environment Monograph 2. ANU E Press

An ethnographic study of a group of Indonesian maritime people regularly
apprehended for illegal fishing. It explores the social, cultural,
economic and historic conditions which underpin their voyages and
examines Australian government policies, treatment and understandings of
this fishing.

Several new titles that will be arriving shortly include:

"Anthropology and Child Development: A Cross Cultural Reader" Robert A
Levine & Rebecca S. New 2008 Blackwell

 "The Shadow Side of Fieldwork: exploring the blurred boundaries between
ethnography and life." Athena McLean & Annette Leibing (eds) 2007.
Blackwell

"Ghosts of memory. Essays on Remembrance and Relatedness". Janet Carsten
(ed). 2007 Blackwell

If you would like to stake your claim on any of these books, lodge a
specific request, or simply drop by the TAPJA office in RSPAS to look
through the books we have for review, contact Helen Parsons (Editorial
Assistant) by e-mailing her at: tapja at anu.edu.au
