My colleague Maya Mayblin's beautiful book 'Vote of Faith' is now out, find it here: www.fordhampress.com/978153150909...
Maya Mayblin's latest book, Vote of Faith, is a richly cinematic and compelling look at priest-politicians in Brazil. Focused on the lives and loves of Catholic priests in the profane world of party politics, she asks: what does desire reveal about the nature of power?

Published during the 2024 uprisings in Bangladesh, I was distracted when A Screen in the Crowd came out, narrating earlier moments of protest, digitally enabled crowds, and the large public screen.
Then Routledge Companion to Asian Cinemas won the Aruna Vasudev Award for Best Book on Asia! 🎉

We could not be prouder of our former Social Anthropology PhD student Dr. Amarasuriya, who was appointed Sri Lanka’s first woman prime minister in 24 years. She was sworn in on 24 September 2024. Her intelligence, integrity, and empathy, have since marked her tenure. #AnthroSky #Anthropology
