Book Description
Nostalgia is intimately connected to the history of the social sciences in general and anthropology in particular, though finely grained ethnographies of nostalgia and loss are still scarce. Today, anthropologists have realized that nostalgia constitutes a fascinating object of study for exploring contemporary issues of the formation of identity in politics and history. Contributors to this volume consider the fabric of nostalgia in the fields of heritage and tourism, exile and diasporas, postcolonialism and postsocialism, business and economic exchange, social, ecological and religious movements, and nation building. They contribute to a better understanding of how individuals and groups commemorate their pasts, and how nostalgia plays a role in the process of remembering.

Book Description
As I moseyed into my later years, I kept feeling the need to document my life, to write an autobiographical journal of my life as I lived it, step by step. I wanted to explain the psychology of me; growing pain by growing pain. The philosophical learning periods of the journey that has been my life. The steps I took to become me. One day my distant cousin, Craig, captioned my thoughts and remembrances as "vignettes" and, Voila!, the idea for this book was born. He had given me a way to document all of my musings and nostalgia in a way that felt natural to me.

Book Description
Challenging the stereotype that black people who lived under South African apartheid have no happy memories of the past, this examination into nostalgia carves out a path away from the archetypical musings. Even though apartheid itself had no virtue, the author, himself a young black man who spent his childhood under apartheid, insists that it was not a vast moral desert in the lives of those living in townships. In this deep meditation on the experiences of those who lived through apartheid, it points out that despite the poverty and crime, there was still art, literature, music, and morals that, when combined, determined the shape of black life during that era of repression.
