Review
"When the Center Is on Fire is a much-needed contribution to sociological understandings of contemporary U.S. society as shaped by global capital and imperialism. The authors reanimate social theory and put it to the test in imaginative and innovative ways… Their readings of classical social theory help us recover a humane, life-giving, and connective social ethic that can fruitfully counteract the dehumanization, atomization, and emptiness uncovered by events that have shaken the United States in the new millennium." Monisha Das Gupta, University of Hawai’i, author of Unruly Immigrants: Rights, Activism and Transnational South Asian Politics in the United States

When the Center Is on Fire is a much-needed contribution to sociological understandings of contemporary U.S. society as shaped by global capital and imperialism. The authors reanimate social theory and put it to the test in imaginative and innovative ways. . . . Their readings of classical social theory help us recover a humane, life-giving, and connective social ethic that can fruitfully counteract the dehumanization, atomization, and emptiness uncovered by events that have shaken the United States in the new millennium.

Getting in some serious mother-daughter time together, Nicole Kidman and her little girl Sunday Rose were spotted out and about in Nashville, Tennessee this past Tuesday (March 10).
The “Moulin Rouge” hottie and her baby girl headed over to Gymboree Play & Music Center for a fun-filled afternoon together.
Nic and Sunday played, danced, and sang with a fun group of mothers and their children, looking a bit worn out as they emerged to head home.
Setting rumor mills spinning, Kidman was sporting a slight belly bump as she passed the paparazzi, leading some to speculate that she may be preggers with a little brother or sister for Sunday.

After enjoying an evening out on the town, Lauren Conrad was spotted hitting the exit at My House nightclub in Los Angeles on Friday night (March 6).
Clad in a cute yellow mini dress with black stockings and black booties, the MTV reality starlet held onto the railing to help keep her balance as she made her way down the stairway and out to an awaiting car.
Meanwhile, also on the guest list at the recently opened LA hotspot on this particular evening was “Desperate Housewives” actress Nicollette Sheridan.
Following dinner at Mr Chow, the blonde beauty and her female friend walked hand-in-hand as they headed into My House for a few late night cocktails to cap off the night.

Product Description
Ethnomusicological fieldwork has significantly changed since the end of the the 20th century. Ethnomusicology is in a critical moment that requires new perspecitves on fieldwork - perspectives that are not addressed in the standard guides to ethnomusicological or anthropological method. The focus in ethnomusicological writing and teaching has traditionally centered around analyses and ethnographic representations of musical cultures, rather than on the personal world of understanding, experience, knowing, and doing fieldwork. Shadows in the Field deliberately shifts the focus of ethnomusicology and of ethnography in general from representation (text) to experience (fieldwork). The "new fieldwork" moves beyond mere data collection and has become a defining characteristic of ethnomusicology that engages the scholar in meaningful human contexts.
In this new edition of Shadows in the Field, renowned ethnomusicologists explore the roles they themselves act out while performing fieldwork and pose significant questions for the field: What are the new directions in ethnomusicological fieldwork? Where does fieldwork of "the past" fit into these theories? And above all, what do we see when we acknowledge the shadows we cast in the field?
The second edition of Shadows in the Field includes updates of all existing chapters, a new preface by Bruno Nettl, and seven new chapters addressing critical issues and concerns that have become increasingly relevant since the first edition.
