false 664356 1 <B> </B>This book examines contemporary migration to the United States through a surprising and compelling case study &ndash; the Nuer of Sudan, whose traditional life represents one of the most important case studies in the history of anthropology. In understanding the experiences of the Nuer, students will not only gain insights into the world refugee problem and the role of immigration in the United States, they will also learn about the features of Nuer life which are considered a standard part of the anthropology curriculum.<B> </B>The book juxtaposes elements of Nuer culture which are well-known within anthropology — and featured in most anthropology textbooks — with new developments arising from the immigration of many other Nuer to the U.S. in the 1990s as refugees from civil war in southern Sudan. Consequently, this book will fit well within existing anthropology curricula, while providing an important update on descriptions of traditional life. In addition to fascinating vignettes and case studies, this book provides an opportunity to examine issues of current importance within anthropology, such as social change, transnationalism, displacement, and diaspora in an easy to understand manner. <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> 650416 5 5 2007 Nuer Journeys, Nuer Lives: Sudanese Refugees in Minnesota (Part of the New Immigrants Series) (2nd Edition) (New Immigrants) total:7|4:3|3:4| 7 24 8 0 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 21:28:44 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 21:28:46 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 29 19:22:10 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 19:22:10 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Feb 19 18:52:09 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 11:40:16 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 18:52:09 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Dec 23 13:39:31 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 29 17:49:49 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 23 13:39:31 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu May 28 22:25:13 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 06 00:58:18 -0700 2008 Thu May 28 22:25:13 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Aug 15 15:53:47 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 15:53:47 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Jun 23 14:03:10 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 14:03:10 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Feb 27 17:23:56 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 27 17:24:06 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=664356
