Self in the World: Connecting Life's Extremes by Keith Hart is an autobiography that chronicles the life and career of the author, from his upbringing in Manchester to his work in various prestigious universities and development agencies around the world. The book explores themes of freedom of movement, global inequalities, and the intersection of economic anthropology and development studies. Hart's personal journey is filled with paradoxes and ambivalences, and he candidly discusses his struggles with mental illness. The autobiography also includes reflections on thinkers who have influenced Hart and his perspectives on topics such as religion and money. [Extracted from the article]

I A Future History of Water i examines how water and its future are made in technocratic spaces and bureaucratic work following the WHO declaration of water as a human right.

The article reviews the book "The Make-Believe Space: Affective Geography in a Postwar Polity" by Yael Navaro-Yashin.

Majumder notices that the same people outraged by the sale of the land, and by the fact that this sale will be forced (and grossly undervalued in the state's books as farmers had underdeclared yields and/or land area to avoid the taxman) openly look down on the future they would have as owners of dwindling plot sizes. Through the case study of a car maker's attempt to set up a factory in eastern India, I People's Car i examines the local population's ambivalence towards land, landholding and farm employment, their yearnings for a certain kind of modernity and the ways in which governments, the company, activists and local protestors emphasise one or the other in different fora. Some of that literature, combined for example with the very recent anthropological work on ambivalence, or cynicism, both of which obviously interest the author, would have helped Majumder structure what are now narrative quirks as fully novel positions.
