Green, Lähteenaho, Douzina-Bakalaki, Rommel, Viscomi, Soto Bermant and Scalco’s An Anthropology of Crosslocations offers a sophisticated rethinking of location as neither fixed territory nor limitless flow, but as an ongoing, power-inflected process produced by overlapping ways of defining where things are. Its central concept, crosslocations, describes the coexistence of multiple locating regimes in the same geographical space: state borders, ecosystems, religious territories, economic networks, historical archives, infrastructures, markets, and standards may all locate the same person, object, animal, or place differently. The book’s key innovation is to treat location as relational and comparative: a place gains meaning through connections and disconnections with other places, and those relations are shaped by logics backed by power. Across its case studies—Beirut’s contested public beach, the sacred landscape of Meteora, Egypt’s shifting national orientation, Petrizzi’s historical archives, Melilla’s layered border, Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, and livestock transport standards—the authors show that no single locating regime fully controls what a place becomes. Melilla is especially illustrative: legally Spanish and European, geographically North African, economically tied to Morocco, and materially shaped by surveillance infrastructures, it becomes a crosslocated border rather than a simple edge of sovereignty. The book therefore resists both static cartographic thinking and celebratory fluidity. Locations are made, contested, valued, and sometimes violently enforced, yet they remain open to alternative alignments because different regimes overlap, collide, ignore one another, or temporarily cooperate. Its conclusion is that anthropology must study not merely places, but the layered and unequal processes through which “heres” are continually produced.
