Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

This is the first multi-volume collection of writings on sociocultural anthropology, the field of anthropology which is concerned with how people in different places live in and understand the world around them. It covers the field's core and changing objectives and methodologies, how context shapes how people make a living and reproduce, how people organize relationships with other people as well as with animals and the environment, how people communicate with other people, and ongoing change in how people make sense of where they live, with whom they interact, and their sense of meaning. Taken together, the collection of 88 articles maps the development of sociocultural anthropology from its beginnings in the mid-19th century through to recent debates on the rise of new methods, increased attention to reflexivity and intersubjectivity, and the ongoing 'critique of anthropology' and the efforts to decolonize it.The four volumes are arranged thematically and each is separately introduced. In Volume 1, contributions lay out some of the early and enduring motivations of sociocultural anthropologists: who are the world's peoples? From the effort to describe non-Western cultures, entries move to critiques of early sociocultural anthropology, for example, from feminist anthropologists and indigenous anthropologists, as well as applied anthropologists who saw a need for sociocultural anthropologists to be involved in community development. Volume 2 focuses on studies of livelihoods and reproduction and health. Volume 3 looks at forms of social relations and organization as defined by kinship as well as non-kin relations. Volume 4 includes entries that look more directly at language and other forms of communication, religion and spiritual beliefs, and expressive culture and performance. The final articles offer insights about how tumultuous changes, such as refugee movements and environmental change are affecting people around the world, and how they are making sense of these changes.The four volumes are energized by the inclusion, and often juxtaposition, of classic texts by Sir Edmund Leach, Franz Boas, Bronislaw Malinowski, Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead, Lucy Mair, Claude Levi Strauss, Marshall Sahlins, and Maurice Godelier, mixed in with writings by contemporary authors such as Lila Abu-Lughod, Seth Holmes, Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Tom Boellstorff, Susan Greenhalgh, George Marcus, and Arjun Appadurai.

In 1992 the massive files of East Germany's infamous Ministry for State Security, the Stasi, were made publicly available and thousands of former East Germans began to confront their contents. Finally it was possible for ordinary citizens to ascertain who had worked for the Stasi, either on a full-time basis or as an "unofficial employee," the Stasi's term for an informer. The revelations from these documents sparked feuds old and new among a population already struggling through enormous social and political upheaval. Drawing upon the Stasi files and upon interviews with one-time informers, this book examines the impact of the Stasi legacy in united Germany. Barbara Miller examines such aspects of the informer's experience as: the recruitment procedure; daily life and work; motivation and justification. She goes on to consider the dealings of politicians and the courts with the Stasi and its employees. Her analysis then turns to the way in which this aspect of recent German history has been remembered, and the phenomenal impact of the opening of the files on such perceptions of the past. The Stasi Files Unveiled: Guilt and Compliance in a Unified Germany offers important new perspectives on the nature of individual and collective memory and is a fascinating investigation of modern German society. Barbara Miller graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1991 with a degree in German and psychology. She taught and researched in Germany and Austria before completing her doctoral thesis in Glasgow in 1997. She is now based in Sydney, Australia.

Analysing Stasi files and interviews with one time informers, the author examines the confrontation with this legacy in united Germany. She discusses the daily machinations of the state and the motivation and justification of being an informer.

The Collins Cambridge IGCSE (TM) Global Perspectives series offers a skills-building approach to the Cambridge IGCSE and O Level Global Perspectives syllabuses (0457/2069) for examination from 2025. The resources support learners to develop skills and prepare for assessment, exploring global issues through international texts, data and case studies. We are working with Cambridge Assessment International Education towards endorsement of this title for the Cambridge IGCSE (TM) and O Level Global Perspectives syllabuses (0457/2069) for examination from 2025. This book provides full coverage of the syllabus. Communicate the excitement of Global Perspectives with the collaborative project in Section 1. Students to jump straight into researching an issue and coming up with practical suggestions for how they can improve wellbeing in their school. Take an active, enquiry-based and reiterative approach to skills development. Each investigation in Section 2 asks students to engage with a different global issue and builds skills through a carefully structured activity sequence that leads to a final task and opportunity for reflection. These skills will be extended and applied in Sections 3, 4 and 5. Support students to respond effectively to given sources. Section 3 asks students to analyse, evaluate and respond to two sets of sources, to help students prepare for written examinations. Help students to tackle independent projects with confidence. In Section 4 learners undertake a mini research project to help them understand how to plan, structure and write an individual report, while Section 5 guides students through the process of planning, carrying out and reflecting on a team project. Show students how to progress: throughout the book, models and annotated examples help students understand how their own work can be improved. Encourage reflection through the structured Reflective plenary prompts in each unit and the Check your progress and Next steps features at the end of each section. The clear lesson-by-lesson approach is easy to use and build into teachers' own schemes of work. The Collins resources offer different entry points, whether your students are new to Global Perspectives or have studied the subject before, and whether they are completing the course in one year or two.
