About Hearing Others’ Voices
Hearing Others’ Voices is a transcultural and interdisciplinary series edited
by anthropologist Ruth Finnegan for Callender Press UK. It is designed, in
simple and straightforward language, to inform and engage general readers,
undergraduates and, above all, young adults/school sixth-formers to reflect on
who and where they are and to explore recent advances in thought,
unaccountably overlooked areas of the world, and key issues of the day.
 
The series provides accessibly introductions, often fully illustrated, to the
latest insights into such perpetual topics as mental health, sounds of the
universe, storms, voices of the Christian west, dance, our awesome minds
and bodies, and more. They also reveal something of the wisdom of the too
often dismissed traditions of, for example, Native America and Africa,
bringing a wider understanding and ownership of who and how we and the
world have come to be as they are.
 
Though everyone can enjoy and learn from them, the books are particularly
suitable for young adults’ school and personal reading and a perfect resource
for mind-opening sixth-form general studies. They are designed to stimulate
curiosity and provide the material and the insights to start filling important
gaps in awareness. The suggestions for further material for those who want
to take their understanding further will be an invaluable tool for readers,
including those at or preparing for university or examining possible careers.
Most books conclude with questions, possible topics for reflection or debate,
and suggestions for further reading.
