ABSTRACT This article engages with the consequences of overlapping environmental (in)justice, economic precarity, and informality as it relates to postflood survival in the colonias of Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. Based on focus groups and interviews, this research reveals the slow and incremental character of adaption by historically disenfranchised communities. This “poco a poco”—or “bit by bit”—adaptive process reflects three main dimensions: the impacts of predatory lending and debt, the prioritization of immediate needs and its long-term consequences, and the precarity of slow postdisaster recuperation. The enduring precarity experienced by colonia residents results from a multifaceted marginalization including environmental racism, economic exclusion, and structural inequities ranging in scale from regional to familial. The concept of poco a poco postflood survival offers a nuanced understanding of responses to environmental vulnerability by marginalized groups and demonstrates the importance of small, microlevel processes enabling postdisaster survival.

With increasing public environmental consciousness evinced by the rise of sustainability-based educational curricula and the mainstreaming of the socalled environmental movement, it can sometimes be easy to forget that the United States remains a whaling nation, one of only four in the world given quotas for aboriginal subsistence whaling by the International Whaling Commission. American whaling is often construed as an element of the real and literary past, statically captured in such maritime classics as Moby-Dick and In the Heart of the Sea. Geographer Chie Sakakibara’s Whale Snow—which would hold its own on a bookshelf alongside Melville’s (1851) and Philbrick’s (2000) volumes—introduces, or for some, reintroduces, a contemporary American community for whom whaling remains central to its cultural, spiritual, and physical subsistence: the Iñupiat of Alaska, centered in the Arctic communities of Point Hope and Utqiaġvik (formerly called Barrow). The product of multigenerational and multispecies relationships more than 15 years building, this book is the new academic standard on Alaskan whaling in a time of rapid environmental and societal change. The word Iñupiat, like many of the world’s indigenous demonyms, means “real people.” Sakakibara shows how the connections they forge with whales, whaling, and whaler ancestors help the Iñupiat “remain resilient and real when the ocean rises” (xiv). This is done, in part, by reinforcing old traditions: cultural, like the aġġi or drum dance (Chapter 5); temporal, like “the whaling cycle”—a calendar that prescribes whaling-related activities throughout the year in preparation for the main spring hunting season and the secondary autumn hunt (Chapter 1); or sociological, like the system of human organization based upon whaling crews and their families. Resilience and realness are also reinforced through adaptation: geographical, as illustrated by the wholesale movement of an entire community from its original site, now lost to rising seas (Chapter 4); spiritual, as with the simultaneous “Indigenization of Christianity and Christianization of Indigeneity” (146); and political, as memorably illustrated in a chapter titled “The New Harpoon” (Chapter 3). The literal new harpoon—a Norwegian introduction with an exploding head—plays only a minor role here; the new harpoon in the chapter’s title is a metaphorical one: the Alaska Native Claims Settlement, a political tool (others writing about whaling have referred to harpoons as “weapons”) focused on “subsistence rights, land claims, and

ABSTRACT In an increasingly mobile and global context, children construct meanings through experiencing an array of places in their lives, potentially forming a basis for place attachments. In this study, we explore how a group of 27 children (ages 10 to 14) in Denver, Colorado, value ordinary places where they have some level of attachment; we then identify which values they draw upon in initial experiences of a new, out-of-the-ordinary place. Using photo-story maps and follow-up interviews, we found that children valued familiarity, entertainment, and significant people in their ordinary places. While the children generally described their initial encounters with the out-of-the-ordinary place as unfamiliar, they drew upon their values of entertainment and relationships with people to support their experiences of the new place. Our findings illustrate how relationality among children’s place attachments shapes their initial experience(s) of a new place, highlighting the need to understand the development of place attachments within the broader contexts of children’s lives.

ABSTRACT Access to the workplace is one of the most important rights of citizenship. In some areas, the unavailability of job opportunities pushes people to commute. Nevertheless, there are areas where even commuting does not allow the improvement of individuals’ economic and social conditions. This locks residents into a local job market that can be, in many cases, limited, low-income, or just unsatisfying. In this paper, we focus on the latest conditions in the Lombardia region (Italy). In order to identify marginal areas where low transport accessibility and high commuting cost may represent a barrier to territorial disparities in job access, we compare different classifications of marginality: socioeconomic indicators, an institutional one (SNAI), and, finally, one based on an indicator of marginal commuting gain (MCG). Evidence from this work will show an almost perfect match between very-fragile territories in socioeconomic terms and areas characterized by a low MCG indicator.

ABSTRACT During the last decades, North America as well as Europe have experienced a significant boom of craft breweries. While it has been understood mainly as a result of neolocalism, we argue that this view is overly unilateral and depending on spatial context. Other factors like glocalization may potentially also affect the emergence of craft breweries. This paper examined the factors influencing the expansion of craft breweries in seven regions of Czechia and Poland, two Central European countries that share similar history but differ in their brewing traditions. Based on semi-structured interviews with representatives of 59 breweries, we identified important similarities but also fundamental differences. Many breweries have indeed been significantly influenced by neolocalism, while some did not capitalize on it, and others even directly rejected it. The role of spatial context has also manifested, particularly through the increased importance of glocalization in several regions.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the perception of the impact of climate change on the livelihoods of small-scale fishing communities in the Western Region of Ghana. A mixed-method approach was employed, consisting of a survey of 400 fisherfolk households and 20 interviews with stakeholders. Changes in rainfall pattern, decreasing rainfall, stronger waves and storms that increase coastal erosion and cause persistent flooding were found to be the main effects of climate change on the livelihoods of small-scale coastal fisherfolk. Transnational fishing practices by fisherfolk in response to climate change contributed to the building of resilience of fishing households, while other adaptation strategies appeared to be insufficient in the long run. Coastal communities are not homogenous with respect to climate change impacts and corresponding adaptation strategies. Based on the empirical results, policy implications are suggested related to early warning systems and multiscalar marine planning.
