Chapter 8 summarizes the argument of the book by outlining a model of an enabling welfare state. An enabling welfare state can be regarded as a new stage in the development of the Nordic welfare state. It reconstructs the old ideal of a virtuous cycle between economic development, welfare, equality, and democracy. An enabling welfare state develops further the capability-cultivating services created by the traditional welfare state. It takes the role of enhancing and organizing learning and local experimentation in hybrid communities and developmental networks. It extends democracy by mobilizing well-educated professionals and practitioners in all spheres of society to innovate. It recognizes the limitations of a national view: the basic moral principles of the welfare state such as equality of educational opportunity need to be extended into the principles of an emerging global governance.Less

At the turn of the twentieth century, a wave of Chinese men made their way to the northern Mexican border state of Sonora to work and live. The ties—and families—these Mexicans and Chinese created led to the formation of a new cultural identity: Chinese Mexican. During the tumult of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, however, anti-Chinese sentiment ultimately led to mass expulsion of these people. This book follows the community through the mid-twentieth century, across borders and oceans, to show how they fought for their place as Mexicans, both in Mexico and abroad. Tracing transnational geography, it explores how these men and women developed a strong sense of Mexican national identity while living abroad—in the United States, briefly, and then in southeast Asia, where they created a hybrid community and taught their children about the Mexican homeland. The author addresses how Mexican women challenged their legal status after being stripped of Mexican citizenship because they married Chinese men. After repatriation in the 1930s–1960s, Chinese Mexican men and women, who had left Mexico with strong regional identities, now claimed national cultural belonging and Mexican identity in ways they had not before.Less

Focusing on the government elephant stables of the Chitwan National Park in Nepal, this chapter asks how mahouts negotiate relations with elephants that involve trust and domination, cooperation and coercion, and care and violence. It argues that they embrace the contradictory qualities of the relationship by variably treating their elephants as animals, persons, and gods, through relations of domination, companionship, and veneration that foreground the intentional agency of elephants. Rejecting the humanist bias of ethnography, it also argues for the stable not so much as a place where humans keep elephants, but rather as the site of a hybrid moral community in which humans and elephants demonstrate emotional affinity and moral responsibility towards each other, albeit in a structured space of command and control that subordinates elephants, as well as humans, to institutional purposes.Less
