    Abstract: This collection of 65 documents, 64 of which are in English, and one (Masse, 1938), a translation from the French, include general data on modern Iran, its geography and inhabitants, its economy and government and specific data on the Iranians and their culture. The time span for these documents ranges from about 2000 B.C. to 2006 A.D. The most comprehensive coverage of Iranian culture history and ethnography, in summary form, will be found in Beeman, 2006. Other studies that provide supplementary data on Iranian history and ethnography are Masse, 1938 (to the 1930s) and Haas, 1946 (to the 1940s). The works by Metz, 1989 and Hooglund, 1989 do not extend their general ethnographic coverage beyond 1987. Other ethnographic topics discussed in this collection are: agriculture and irrigation development in: Fitt, 1953; Hadary, 1951; Noel, 1944; and Fisher, 1938. Land tenure and land reform are primary topics in: Lambton, 1953 and Keddie, 1972. Various aspects of Iranian economics are described in detail in: Michalis, 1954; Gupta, 1947; and MacPherson, 1989. Culture change figures prominently in many, but especially in: Hooglund, 1981; Good, 1981; and Nassehi-Behnam, 1985. Other topics given particular attention are: gender roles and women's status in Iranian society in: Higgins, 1994; Friedl, 1994; Aghajanian, 1994; and Heglund, 2004. Industry and industrial development in: International Labor Office, 1950, 1949; Sinclair, 1951; Overseas Consultants, 1949; and Naficy, 1981. Nomadism and minority groups in Iran in: Salzman, 2002; Higgins, 1986; and Kazemi, 1980. Politics form a major topic of discussion in: Hooglund, 1989 and Elwell-Sutton, 1949. A detailed description of the Islamic Revolution of 1978-1979 will be found in Fischer, 1980

    Abstract: This collection about the Sea Islanders, a Gullah-speaking people who live on the coast and sea islands of Georgia and South Carolina, consists of 14 documents. Four were published between 1926 and 1942, and the rest between 1973 and 2003. The studies focus on folklore and folksongs, oral histories, and language; and the main locations studied are Johns, Wadmalaw, and St. Helena's Islands, South Carolina and St. Simon's Island, Georgia. The Sea Islanders are descendents of slaves first brought to the islands in the seventeenth century. Isolated from the mainland, the Sea Islanders developed a distinct culture, which remained largely intact until the first bridges were built in the 1920s

    Abstract: This collection of 26 documents concerns the Yapese, who speak an Eastern Malayo-Polynesian language and occupy the westernmost of the Caroline Islands in Micronesia. The earliest documents in the collection, translated from German, were published between 1873 and 1917 and cover the time period of 1865 to 1910. The accounts are by explorers, government officials, missionaries, natural scientists, and travelers. There is one Spanish source and a German translation of Russian explorer's diary. Topics include religion, geography, music, poetry, dance, funerals, and money. Documents from the American period and onwards, starting in 1947, include a general ethnography, politics, courtship and marriage, dispute settlement, food, and post-colonial changes. Yap was under Spanish control from 1871 to 1899, German control from 1899 to 1914, Japanese control from 1914 to 1945, and American control from 1945 to 1985, after which it became part of an independent state (Yap State) in the Federated States of Micronesia

    Keywords: Yap (Micronesia) ; Yapese (Micronesian people)
    Abstract: This collection of 26 documents concerns the Yapese, who speak an Eastern Malayo-Polynesian language and occupy the westernmost of the Caroline Islands in Micronesia. The earliest documents in the collection, translated from German, were published between 1873 and 1917 and cover the time period of 1865 to 1910. The accounts are by explorers, government officials, missionaries, natural scientists, and travelers. There is one Spanish source and a German translation of Russian explorer's diary. Topics include religion, geography, music, poetry, dance, funerals, and money. Documents from the American period and onwards, starting in 1947, include a general ethnography, politics, courtship and marriage, dispute settlement, food, and post-colonial changes. Yap was under Spanish control from 1871 to 1899, German control from 1899 to 1914, Japanese control from 1914 to 1945, and American control from 1945 to 1985, after which it became part of an independent state (Yap State) in the Federated States of Micronesia

    Abstract: The 15 documents in this collection cover the time period from 1100-2000 AD. A general handbook of Inner Mongolia geography, history, and culture was published by the Far Eastern and Russian Institute (1956). The earliest works in the collection are by the Catholic priest Father Kler who lived among the Ordos Mongolians in the 1920s and 30s. He wrote articles on hunting practices (1941); sickness, death, and burials (1936) and birth, infancy, and childhood (1938). Chang (1933) provides an economic assessment and prognosis of Mongolia in the 1930s. Owen Lattimore (1934) wrote a political ecology of the region, prior to the Japanese occupation in 1932. Two translated Japanese studies examine health and living conditions (Hikage 1938), and housing, clothing and diet (Izumi 1939). Cammann reports on his 1945 travels in the Ordos and Gobi desserts and Houtai plain. Three works examine the twentieth-century Han colonization of the region (Cressy 1932; Lattimore 1932; Pasternak and Salaff 1993). Sneath (2000) examines the history of Chinese government policies imposed on Mongolian pastoral society from the pre-Chinese Revolutionary period up to the post-Mao period. Jankowiak (1993) writes an engaging urban ethnography of Huhhot and Bulag (2002) examines how the contradictions and tensions of vying Chinese and Mongolian nationalisms play out in socialist Inner Mongolia

    Keywords: Gusii (African people)
    Abstract: Gusii or Abagusii is the people's name for themselves. The Gusii are divided into seven clan clusters: Kitutu (Getutu), North Mugirango, South Mugirango, Majoge, Wanjare (Nchari), Bassi, and Nyaribari. Gusiiland is located in western Kenya, 50 kilometers east of Lake Victoria. This collection of 32 English language documents deals with the Gusii people of Kisii District in southwestern Kenya. The major time span covered is approximately one hundred years ranging from about 1900 to 2001, with a focus on the years of 1950-1976. Only one study in this collection (Hakansson, 1994) deals with the pre-colonial period (i.e., pre-1907); specifically with the relationship between agricultural production and grain and cattle exchange. Two studies provide some degree of general ethnographic coverage; these are LeVine 1966 and 1994. In addition the LeVines (Robert and Sarah) provide a wealth of information on infant and child care and development. Other ethnographic topics covered in this collection are: bride-wealth as a significant feature of Gusii marriage arrangements in Mayer, 1950 and Hakansson, 1988 and 1990; kinship in Mayer, 1949 and 1965; witchcraft and sorcery in LeVine, 1963 and Ogembo, 2001; gender in Hakansson and LeVine, 1997, and Hakansson, 1994; and sex offenses and social control in LeVine, 1959 and 1980. Eight documents are from the text, Child Care and culture: Lessons from Africa

    Keywords: Amazon River ; Indians of South America--Amazon River Valley ; Jivaran languages ; Jivaro Indians ; Shuar Indians ; South America--Description and travel
    Abstract: This collection includes 30 English language documents, three translated from the German and three from the French, that contain specific data on the Jivaroan-speaking groups of southeastern Ecuador and adjacent Peru, including the Jivaro (Shuar, Shuara), Achuara (Atchuara, Achual), Huambisa, Aguaruna, Mayna, and the extinct Palta and Malacata. The major time span of the works in this collection ranges from about 1863 to 2003. Karsten, Stirling, Ḿetraux, and Harner provide the most comprehensive coverage of traditional Jivaro ethnography, supplemented to a much lesser extent by the brief summaries in Simson, Farabee, Reiss, and Hermessen. War, warfare related ceremonies, including data on head-hunting and the preparation of the shrunken heads, are prominent themes in Up de Graff, Dickey, Bollert, and Bennett Ross. Other ethnographic topics of interest in this collection are: the evaluation of missionaries, their activities and other reports in Rivet, Salazar, and Harner. The influence of Western music on the traditional music of the Jivaro is discussed in Belzner. The formation and activities of the Shuar (Jivaro) Federation in lowland Ecuador are described in Salazar and Harner. Two studies of Jivaro anthropometry will be found in Meyers and Wright . The Shuar are the best known subgroup and a major focus of this collection

    Abstract: The 15 documents in this collection cover the time period from 1100-2000 AD. A general handbook of Inner Mongolia geography, history, and culture was published by the Far Eastern and Russian Institute (1956). The earliest works in the collection are by the Catholic priest Father Kler who lived among the Ordos Mongolians in the 1920s and 30s. He wrote articles on hunting practices (1941); sickness, death, and burials (1936) and birth, infancy, and childhood (1938). Chang (1933) provides an economic assessment and prognosis of Mongolia in the 1930s. Owen Lattimore (1934) wrote a political ecology of the region, prior to the Japanese occupation in 1932. Two translated Japanese studies examine health and living conditions (Hikage 1938), and housing, clothing and diet (Izumi 1939). Cammann reports on his 1945 travels in the Ordos and Gobi desserts and Houtai plain. Three works examine the twentieth-century Han colonization of the region (Cressy 1932; Lattimore 1932; Pasternak and Salaff 1993). Sneath (2000) examines the history of Chinese government policies imposed on Mongolian pastoral society from the pre-Chinese Revolutionary period up to the post-Mao period. Jankowiak (1993) writes an engaging urban ethnography of Huhhot and Bulag (2002) examines how the contradictions and tensions of vying Chinese and Mongolian nationalisms play out in socialist Inner Mongolia

    Abstract: The 15 documents in this collection cover the time period from 1100-2000 AD. A general handbook of Inner Mongolia geography, history, and culture was published by the Far Eastern and Russian Institute (1956). The earliest works in the collection are by the Catholic priest Father Kler who lived among the Ordos Mongolians in the 1920s and 30s. He wrote articles on hunting practices (1941); sickness, death, and burials (1936) and birth, infancy, and childhood (1938). Chang (1933) provides an economic assessment and prognosis of Mongolia in the 1930s. Owen Lattimore (1934) wrote a political ecology of the region, prior to the Japanese occupation in 1932. Two translated Japanese studies examine health and living conditions (Hikage 1938), and housing, clothing and diet (Izumi 1939). Cammann reports on his 1945 travels in the Ordos and Gobi desserts and Houtai plain. Three works examine the twentieth-century Han colonization of the region (Cressy 1932; Lattimore 1932; Pasternak and Salaff 1993). Sneath (2000) examines the history of Chinese government policies imposed on Mongolian pastoral society from the pre-Chinese Revolutionary period up to the post-Mao period. Jankowiak (1993) writes an engaging urban ethnography of Huhhot and Bulag (2002) examines how the contradictions and tensions of vying Chinese and Mongolian nationalisms play out in socialist Inner Mongolia

    Keywords: Jivaro Indians ; Shuar Indians ; Jivaran languages ; Indians of South America--Amazon River Valley ; Amazon River ; South America--Description and travel ; Jívaro ; Jívaro
    Abstract: This collection includes 30 English language documents, three translated from the German and three from the French, that contain specific data on the Jivaroan-speaking groups of southeastern Ecuador and adjacent Peru, including the Jivaro (Shuar, Shuara), Achuara (Atchuara, Achual), Huambisa, Aguaruna, Mayna, and the extinct Palta and Malacata. The major time span of the works in this collection ranges from about 1863 to 2003. Karsten, Stirling, Métraux, and Harner provide the most comprehensive coverage of traditional Jivaro ethnography, supplemented to a much lesser extent by the brief summaries in Simson, Farabee, Reiss, and Hermessen. War, warfare related ceremonies, including data on head-hunting and the preparation of the shrunken heads, are prominent themes in Up de Graff, Dickey, Bollert, and Bennett Ross. Other ethnographic topics of interest in this collection are: the evaluation of missionaries, their activities and other reports in Rivet, Salazar, and Harner. The influence of Western music on the traditional music of the Jivaro is discussed in Belzner. The formation and activities of the Shuar (Jivaro) Federation in lowland Ecuador are described in Salazar and Harner. Two studies of Jivaro anthropometry will be found in Meyers and Wright . The Shuar are the best known subgroup and a major focus of this collection

    Keywords: Gusii (African people)
    Abstract: Gusii or Abagusii is the people's name for themselves. The Gusii are divided into seven clan clusters: Kitutu (Getutu), North Mugirango, South Mugirango, Majoge, Wanjare (Nchari), Bassi, and Nyaribari. Gusiiland is located in western Kenya, 50 kilometers east of Lake Victoria. This collection of 32 English language documents deals with the Gusii people of Kisii District in southwestern Kenya. The major time span covered is approximately one hundred years ranging from about 1900 to 2001, with a focus on the years of 1950-1976. Only one study in this collection (Hakansson, 1994) deals with the pre-colonial period (i.e., pre-1907); specifically with the relationship between agricultural production and grain and cattle exchange. Two studies provide some degree of general ethnographic coverage; these are LeVine 1966 and 1994. In addition the LeVines (Robert and Sarah) provide a wealth of information on infant and child care and development. Other ethnographic topics covered in this collection are: bride-wealth as a significant feature of Gusii marriage arrangements in Mayer, 1950 and Hakansson, 1988 and 1990; kinship in Mayer, 1949 and 1965; witchcraft and sorcery in LeVine, 1963 and Ogembo, 2001; gender in Hakansson and LeVine, 1997, and Hakansson, 1994; and sex offenses and social control in LeVine, 1959 and 1980. Eight documents are from the text, Child Care and culture: Lessons from Africa

    Abstract: This collection about the Sea Islanders, a Gullah-speaking people who live on the coast and sea islands of Georgia and South Carolina, consists of 14 documents. Four were published between 1926 and 1942, and the rest between 1973 and 2003. The studies focus on folklore and folksongs, oral histories, and language; and the main locations studied are Johns, Wadmalaw, and St. Helena's Islands, South Carolina and St. Simon's Island, Georgia. The Sea Islanders are descendents of slaves first brought to the islands in the seventeenth century. Isolated from the mainland, the Sea Islanders developed a distinct culture, which remained largely intact until the first bridges were built in the 1920s
