    Abstract: The documents of the Saraguro Quichua collection include historical information but focus on the latter half of the twentieth century. Linda Belote describes ethnic relations between largely rural Indians and largely town-dwelling whites in the Parish of Saraguro, Loja Province, Ecuador. Religion is discussed as another sphere of ethnic competition, highlighting the role of a progressive (white) priest in social change. The author also touches upon often interrelated forces of outmigration and transculturation. Belote and Belote review the roles of three institutions in promoting culture change among the Saraguro Quechua during the middle/late-twentieth century. In order of importance these were: folklore music groups, religious organizations, and the Andean Mission, a government development agency who's featured modernization programs included sanitation, furniture, textiles and clothing, and agriculture and animal husbandry. James Belote's dissertation is a study of the changing adaptive strategies of the Saraguro indigenes who live in the southern Ecuadorian provinces of Loja and Zamora-Chinchipe. The study is divided into three major parts: background information on the highland region; "the highland adaptation", an analysis of the Saraguro economy; and "the lowland adaptation", cultural and economic adaptation to living conditions in the lowland region. Ruthbeth Finerman presents a succinct culture summary of the Saraguro people who live in Loja Province in Ecuador's southern Andes. Major emphasis in the study is on illness, theories of illness, treatment of the sick, and life cycle events related to problems of health

    Abstract: The Otavalo Quichua collection documents focus upon a time span from 1940 to 2001, but include significant historical information extending to the late pre-Inca period (ca. AD 1250). Although the Otavalo may now be encountered in major urban areas worldwide, this collection concentrates on core area in Imbabura province, Ecuador (cantons of Otavalo and Cotacachi); In particular, the towns of Peguche, Ilumán and Cotacachi. Parsons is the classic ethnography, providing basic description of material culture, close observation of family life, participant observation in divination, a full chapter of folklore, and good descriptions of the annual round of religious festivals. Wibbelsman's doctoral dissertation focuses almost exclusively on the ritual/festival cycle, while considering its cosmological underpinnings and role in (re)constituting and revivifying and communities ever more engaged with, and living throughout, Ecuador and the world. Solomon details the politico-economic history behind a uniquely successful ethos and means of cultural survival and promotion

    Keywords: Quechua Indians ; Quechua ; Quechua
    Abstract: The documents in this collection focus on a time span from 1936 to 1978, although some contain considerable historical background information as far back as the Inca occupation and the Spanish Conquest in the sixteenth century. The fundamental ethnography, by Beals, is based on fieldwork conducted in the community of Nayón in 1949. It is a study of community organization emphasizing how the growing links between the traditional and national economies on the eastern outskirts of the capital city of Quito in Pichincha Province, and ways in which the resultant forces of acculturation are affecting social organization. Other prominent themes include the daily routines of life and forms of mutual aid. Beals follows up with an argument that encroaching urbanization with its pressures on land ownership is a more potent force for social change in Nayón than the lure of cultural assimilation (mestizaje) that accompanies economic integration. In a study of what were by the late 1970s the newly (sub)urbanized eastern barrios of Quito, Salomon validates Beals' hypothesis with a fascinating look at the psychological, religious, social, and philosophical dimensions of the Yumbo dancing that is part of the Corpus Christi festival, revealing how the costumed dance/dramatic performance is a means of reaffirming collective ethnic identity and asserting ethnic pride given increasingly nationalized and westernized surroundings and individual aspirations

    Abstract: The Canelos Quichua collection consists of English language documents covering the period from about 1961 to 1976, focusing on the fieldwork of the Whittens. The major source of information on this group will be found in Sicuanga Runa. Although this monograph focuses primarily on the site of Nueva Esperanza (Nayapi Llacta) in Ecuador in order to explore the theme of the duality of power patterning in the community, it does contain a variety of information on various aspects of Canelos Quichua ethnography. Ritual structure is a study of the large-scale Ayllu ceremony held once or twice each year involving a period of from two to three weeks in initial preparation, and then its actual enactment on a final Sunday feast day. The third document, by Whitten and Whitten, is a detailed study of kinship structure and marriage among the Canelos Quichua of East-Central Ecuador

    Abstract: Americans of Arab ancestry are a heterogeneous amalgam of national and religious subgroups with a common cultural and linguistic heritage. This file consists of 31 documents and the ethnographic coverage runs from 1890 to 1990. Most of the works focus on the Syrian-Lebanese populations and their concentrations in large urban areas in Massachusetts, Illinois, and Michigan. Others deal with the Palestinian population in Chicago, Yemeni settlements in Detroit and Dearborn, and unspecified Arab American groups in various urban regions of the United States

    Abstract: Arab Canadians are first-generation Christian or Muslim Arabic-speaking immigrants and their descendants who originally came from the Arab world and have roots in Arabic culture. Arab Canadians can be found throughout Canada, although the largest communities are found in major cities, such as Montreal and Toronto. There are five documents in the Arab Canadians file. The two major works cover the immigrant history, assimilation, and acculturation of Arab Canadians in Canada and Lebanese and Syrian Canadians in Nova Scotia. Three shorter articles examine the changes in Lebanese-Canadian households and families, the persistence of traditional customs in an Edmonton, Alberta Druse community, and a Lebanese community in Lac La Biche, Alberta
