Johnson's, <em>Mexico in Space: From La Raza Cósmica to The Space Race</em>, released in 2026, is an extensive ethnographic study of Mexico's history with outer space. Relying on two main frameworks and Canguilhem's concept of milieux it produces an interpretation of Mexico’s relationship to space which emphasizes a story of globalization and “planetization”. The Mexican space milieux invokes a multidimensional, situated understanding of outer space with blurred and shifting boundaries.</p> Savannah Mandel Copyright (c) 2026 Savannah Mandel http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-03-10 2026-03-10 12 1 Pain into Purpose: Mobilizing Emotions in Argentina's Black Resistance Movement, Review https://www.journal.anthrobookforum.americananthro.org/index.php/abf/article/view/889 <p>This article is a review of Prisca Gayles' <em>Pain into Purpose: Mobilizing Emotions in Argentina's Black Resistance Movement</em> (2024).</p> Reed Margolis Copyright (c) 2026 Reed Margolis http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-04-06 2026-04-06 12 1 review https://www.journal.anthrobookforum.americananthro.org/index.php/abf/article/view/893 <p>review</p> Melanie Langgle Copyright (c) 2026 Melanie Langgle http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 12 1 UnderBelly Review https://www.journal.anthrobookforum.americananthro.org/index.php/abf/article/view/895 <p>Underbelly review</p> Levi Vonk Copyright (c) 2026 Levi Vonk http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-04-13 2026-04-13 12 1 crossing the lines https://www.journal.anthrobookforum.americananthro.org/index.php/abf/article/view/897 <p>crossing the lines</p> faith vanvleet Copyright (c) 2026 faith vanvleet http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-04-22 2026-04-22 12 1
