When sharing becomes shameful: atmospheres of class formation in Namibia Quand le partage devient honteux : ambiances de formation de classes en Namibie

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.

Public Policies in Historical Context and the Association Between Education and US Older Adults’ Health
