    Abstract: Immediately after the Holocaust, it seemed inconceivable that a Jewish community would rebuild in Germany. What was once unimaginable has now come to pass: Germany is home to one of Europe’s most vibrant Jewish communities, and it has the fastest growing Jewish immigrant population of any country in the world outside Israel. By sharing the life stories of members of one Jewish family—the Kalmans—Y. Michal Bodemann provides an intimate look at what it is like to live as a Jew in Germany today. Having survived concentration camps in Poland, four Kalman siblings—three brothers and a sister—were left stranded in Germany after the war. They built new lives and a major enterprise; they each married and had children. Over the past fifteen years Bodemann conducted extensive interviews with the Kalmans, mostly with the survivors’ ten children, who were born between 1948 and 1964. In these oral histories, he shares their thoughts on Judaism, work, family, and community. Staying in Germany is not a given; four of the ten cousins live in Israel and the United States.Among the Kalman cousins are an art gallery owner, a body builder, a radio personality, a former chief financial officer of a prominent U.S. bank, and a sculptor. They discuss Zionism, anti-Semitism, what it means to root for the German soccer team, Schindler’s List, money, success, marriage and intermarriage, and family history. They reveal their different levels of engagement with Judaism and involvement with local Jewish communities. Kalman is a pseudonym, and their anonymity allows the family members to talk with passion and candor about their relationships and their lives as Jews

    Abstract: Publisher's description: A vital reminder of the importance of academic freedom, Threatening anthropology offers a meticulously detailed account of how U.S. Cold War surveillance damaged the field of anthropology. David H. Price reveals how dozens of activist anthropologists were publicly and privately persecuted during the Red Scares of the 1940s and 1950s. He shows that it was not Communist Party membership or Marxist beliefs that attracted the most intense scrutiny from the FBI and congressional committees but rather social activism, particularly for racial justice. Demonstrating that the FBI's focus on anthropologists lessened as activist work and Marxist analysis in the field tapered off, Price argues that the impact of McCarthyism on anthropology extended far beyond the lives of those who lost their jobs. Its messages of fear and censorship had a pervasive chilling effect on anthropological investigation. As critiques that might attract government attention were abandoned, scholarship was curtailed

    Abstract: Lower Chinookans is a reference to the group of Chinookan language speakers living on the northwest coast of the United States in the states of Washington and Oregon and on both banks of the Lower Columbia River from its mouth to just beyond the Willamette River. The group consists of the Chinook proper, the Clackamas, Clatsop, Shoalwater Chinook, Wahkiakum, and Cathlamet (Kathlamet). This collection of 10 English language documents deals with the Chinookans of the Lower Chinook region. The major time focus of this collection is from the late eighteenth century through the nineteenth. The most comprehensive traditional ethnographies of the Lower Chinookans can be found in Ray's Lower Chinook ethnographic notes and Silverstein's Chinookans of the Lower Columbia. Other major topics discussed in other documents include songs, beliefs about sickness and death, and humor and verbal irony

    Keywords: Bakairi Indians ; Bakairí ; Bakairí
    Abstract: This collection of 7 documents is about the Bakairi, a Carib-speaking group living on Upper Xingu River in the state of Mato Grosso in south central Brazil. The German explorer Steinen wrote the earliest accounts of the Bakairi based on his one-month stay with them during his 1884 trip down the Xingu river and his travels among the tribes located along the Kulisehu River, in the Upper Xingu area in 1887. Abreu wrote an early account of Bakairi language, mythology, and religion based on 1892 Portuguese texts. Schmidt includes the history of the Bakairi subsequent to Steinen's expedition and up to the year 1927. During this period of time, numerous socio-political and cultural changes took place among the Bacairi. He describes three different Bacairi groups: the Eastern, Western, and Xinguanos. Altenfelder Silva describes the culture of the Bakairi Indians of Mato Grosso circa 1940 including their technology, kinship terminology, pantheon, ceremonies, shamanism, and the series of ritualistic seclusions, or uanki, that occur at intervals during the life cycle. Oberg's account is based on his fieldwork among the people living on the Government Indian Post on the Rio Paranatinga during June 1947. It should be noted that the information presented in this source, obtained primarily from informants, relates to an earlier period in Bacairi history (ca. 1907) when they lived on the Rio Kuliseu. Data presented pertain to settlement patterns, subsistence activities, house types, furniture, language, culture history and early European contacts, population, dress and personal ornaments, organization of labor, social organization, the life cycle, puberty rites, marriage, burial, shamanism, games, ceremonialism and mythology

    Keywords: Gisu (African people) ; Gisu ; Gisu
    Abstract: This collection of three documents about the Bagisu, all in English, covers a time span from the late nineteenth century to approximately 1989. The Bagisu or Gisu live on the western slopes of the now extinct volcano Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda. Lugisu (Masaba), the language of the Bagisu, is a Bantu language in the larger Niger-Congo group of languages. A concise summary of most major features of Bagisu ethnography from around the 1890s to 1954 can be found in LaFontaine. This is supplemented by Roscoe's earlier account of Bagisu ethnography that deals with information from the late nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries. While this latter document does contain some unique cultural data, LaFontaine questions the validity of some of Roscoe's information (e.g., the existence of cannibalism among the Bagisu). Heald's work on the Bagisu is based on the author's fieldwork in Central Bugisu from 1965-1969, and is a detailed study of the various ways in which violence is expressed in Bagisu society and the manner in which it is brought under control. This document presents data on the reputation and history of violence among the Bagisu, statistics on homicide, the association of violence with manhood and the expression of anger, the ordeal of circumcision, behavior and treatment of witches and thieves, hostility management in the community, and the establishment of vigilante groups and drinking companies to control violence

    Abstract: These 22 documents are about the inhabitants of Iceland. The time span ranges from about the middle of the nineteenth century to the late twentieth, with a particular focus on the period of the l940s to the 1980s. Most of the works are widely diversified in subject coverage, although there is emphasis on the economy, especially in regard to the marine fisheries and whaling. The status of women and women's movements in Iceland are the topics of the works by Kristmundsdóttir, Skakptadóttir, and Björnsdóttir. Gurdin's is a study of domestic violence in Iceland. Other topics covered by other authors include ethnolinguistics, zooarchaeology, kinship, literacy and literacy practice, and an analysis of the Icelandic sagas as works of fiction or historical fact

    Keywords: Icelanders
    Abstract: This collection of 23 documents is about the Early Icelanders and covers the time span from the first Norse settlement in Iceland around 874 A.D. to Iceland's incorporation into the kingdom of Norway in approximately 1262 A.D. The major focus is on the Commonwealth Period from 930 to 1262 A.D. Much of the cultural data gathered for this period comes from the analysis and interpretation of a number of Icelandic sagas written primarily in the thirteenth century. The most comprehensive study of the social, economic, and political changes taking place in Medieval Iceland over a four hundred year period is The dynamics of medieval Iceland by Durrenberger. This study begins with the first Norse settlement in Iceland around 874 A.D. and ends with the incorporation of Iceland into the kingdom of Norway in 1264 A.D. Fourteen of these documents were originally published in: From sagas to society, edited by Gísli Pálsson

    Keywords: Sia Indians
    Abstract: The Zia are a Keres-speaking pueblo tribe who live on the Jemez River, 35 miles northwest of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This collection of eight documents is about the Zia. The classic work is by Leslie White and was based on his fieldwork from 1928-1929 and return visits during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. He focused mostly on secret societies, including membership, recruitment, and ceremonies. Two of the documents are by Hoebel. The first is a brief account of Zia history and culture that was also published in the Handbook of North American Indians. The second is about Zia law. There is no private law. Clans and lineages have no role in the legal process. All cases are brought before the governor and a council comprised of the heads of secret societies. Lange has written a detailed account of the famous Green Corn Dance; Hawley et al. a nutritional study; Polese on the Zia sun symbol; and Stevenson on child birth. The bibliography of citations to works on Zia Pueblo is also taken from vol. 9 of the Handbook on North American Indians, Southwest

    Abstract: The Zia are a Keres-speaking pueblo tribe who live on the Jemez River, 35 miles northwest of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This collection of eight documents is about the Zia. The classic work is by Leslie White and was based on his fieldwork from 1928-1929 and return visits during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. He focused mostly on secret societies, including membership, recruitment, and ceremonies. Two of the documents are by Hoebel. The first is a brief account of Zia history and culture that was also published in the Handbook of North American Indians. The second is about Zia law. There is no private law. Clans and lineages have no role in the legal process. All cases are brought before the governor and a council comprised of the heads of secret societies. Lange has written a detailed account of the famous Green Corn Dance; Hawley et al. a nutritional study; Polese on the Zia sun symbol; and Stevenson on child birth. The bibliography of citations to works on Zia Pueblo is also taken from vol. 9 of the Handbook on North American Indians, Southwest

    Keywords: Icelanders
    Abstract: This collection of 23 documents is about the Early Icelanders and covers the time span from the first Norse settlement in Iceland around 874 A.D. to Iceland's incorporation into the kingdom of Norway in approximately 1262 A.D. The major focus is on the Commonwealth Period from 930 to 1262 A.D. Much of the cultural data gathered for this period comes from the analysis and interpretation of a number of Icelandic sagas written primarily in the thirteenth century. The most comprehensive study of the social, economic, and political changes taking place in Medieval Iceland over a four hundred year period is The dynamics of medieval Iceland by Durrenberger. This study begins with the first Norse settlement in Iceland around 874 A.D. and ends with the incorporation of Iceland into the kingdom of Norway in 1264 A.D. Fourteen of these documents were originally published in: From sagas to society, edited by Ǵisli Ṕalsson

    Keywords: Bakairi Indians ; Bakairí
    Abstract: This collection of 7 documents is about the Bakairi, a Carib-speaking group living on Upper Xingu River in the state of Mato Grosso in south central Brazil. The German explorer Steinen wrote the earliest accounts of the Bakairi based on his one-month stay with them during his 1884 trip down the Xingu river and his travels among the tribes located along the Kulisehu River, in the Upper Xingu area in 1887. Abreu wrote an early account of Bakairi language, mythology, and religion based on 1892 Portuguese texts. Schmidt includes the history of the Bakairi subsequent to Steinen's expedition and up to the year 1927. During this period of time, numerous socio-political and cultural changes took place among the Bacairi. He describes three different Bacairi groups: the Eastern, Western, and Xinguanos. Altenfelder Silva describes the culture of the Bakairi Indians of Mato Grosso circa 1940 including their technology, kinship terminology, pantheon, ceremonies, shamanism, and the series of ritualistic seclusions, or uanki, that occur at intervals during the life cycle. Oberg's account is based on his fieldwork among the people living on the Government Indian Post on the Rio Paranatinga during June 1947. It should be noted that the information presented in this source, obtained primarily from informants, relates to an earlier period in Bacairi history (ca. 1907) when they lived on the Rio Kuliseu. Data presented pertain to settlement patterns, subsistence activities, house types, furniture, language, culture history and early European contacts, population, dress and personal ornaments, organization of labor, social organization, the life cycle, puberty rites, marriage, burial, shamanism, games, ceremonialism and mythology

    Keywords: Sherpa (Nepalese people)
    Abstract: The Sherpa are a Tibetan-speaking people who moved into the valleys of eastern Nepal in the middle of the sixteenth century. They survived as traders transporting goods by Yak across the Himalayas, linking the markets of China to Nepal and India. This collection of 19 documents about the Sherpa covers a period from the 1950s to 1990s. The Sherpa environment, religion, and social change have received the most attention by these authors

    Keywords: Icelanders
    Abstract: This collection of 23 documents is about the Early Icelanders and covers the time span from the first Norse settlement in Iceland around 874 A.D. to Iceland's incorporation into the kingdom of Norway in approximately 1262 A.D. The major focus is on the Commonwealth Period from 930 to 1262 A.D. Much of the cultural data gathered for this period comes from the analysis and interpretation of a number of Icelandic sagas written primarily in the thirteenth century. The most comprehensive study of the social, economic, and political changes taking place in Medieval Iceland over a four hundred year period is The dynamics of medieval Iceland by Durrenberger. This study begins with the first Norse settlement in Iceland around 874 A.D. and ends with the incorporation of Iceland into the kingdom of Norway in 1264 A.D. Fourteen of these documents were originally published in: From sagas to society, edited by Ǵisli Ṕalsson

    Keywords: Bakairi Indians ; Bakairí
    Abstract: This collection of 7 documents is about the Bakairi, a Carib-speaking group living on Upper Xingu River in the state of Mato Grosso in south central Brazil. The German explorer Steinen wrote the earliest accounts of the Bakairi based on his one-month stay with them during his 1884 trip down the Xingu river and his travels among the tribes located along the Kulisehu River, in the Upper Xingu area in 1887. Abreu wrote an early account of Bakairi language, mythology, and religion based on 1892 Portuguese texts. Schmidt includes the history of the Bakairi subsequent to Steinen's expedition and up to the year 1927. During this period of time, numerous socio-political and cultural changes took place among the Bacairi. He describes three different Bacairi groups: the Eastern, Western, and Xinguanos. Altenfelder Silva describes the culture of the Bakairi Indians of Mato Grosso circa 1940 including their technology, kinship terminology, pantheon, ceremonies, shamanism, and the series of ritualistic seclusions, or uanki, that occur at intervals during the life cycle. Oberg's account is based on his fieldwork among the people living on the Government Indian Post on the Rio Paranatinga during June 1947. It should be noted that the information presented in this source, obtained primarily from informants, relates to an earlier period in Bacairi history (ca. 1907) when they lived on the Rio Kuliseu. Data presented pertain to settlement patterns, subsistence activities, house types, furniture, language, culture history and early European contacts, population, dress and personal ornaments, organization of labor, social organization, the life cycle, puberty rites, marriage, burial, shamanism, games, ceremonialism and mythology

    Keywords: Chinook Indians
    Abstract: Lower Chinookans is a reference to the group of Chinookan language speakers living on the northwest coast of the United States in the states of Washington and Oregon and on both banks of the Lower Columbia River from its mouth to just beyond the Willamette River. The group consists of the Chinook proper, the Clackamas, Clatsop, Shoalwater Chinook, Wahkiakum, and Cathlamet (Kathlamet). This collection of 10 English language documents deals with the Chinookans of the Lower Chinook region. The major time focus of this collection is from the late eighteenth century through the nineteenth. The most comprehensive traditional ethnographies of the Lower Chinookans can be found in Ray's Lower Chinook ethnographic notes and Silverstein's Chinookans of the Lower Columbia. Other major topics discussed in other documents include songs, beliefs about sickness and death, and humor and verbal irony

    Abstract: Three flags fly in the palace courtyard of Òyótúnjí African Village. One represents black American emancipation from slavery, one black nationalism, and the third the establishment of an ancient Yorùbá Empire in the state of South Carolina. Located sixty-five miles southwest of Charleston, Òyótúnjí is a Yorùbá revivalist community founded in 1970. Mapping Yorùbá Networks is an innovative ethnography of Òyótúnjí and a theoretically sophisticated exploration of how Yorùbá òrìsà voodoo religious practices are reworked as expressions of transnational racial politics. Drawing on several years of multisited fieldwork in the United States and Nigeria, Kamari Maxine Clarke describes Òyótúnjí in vivid detail—the physical space, government, rituals, language, and marriage and kinship practices—and explores how ideas of what constitutes the Yorùbá past are constructed.-
    Abstract: She highlights the connections between contemporary Yorùbá transatlantic religious networks and the post-1970s institutionalization of roots heritage in American social life.Examining how the development of a deterritorialized network of black cultural nationalists became aligned with a lucrative late-twentieth-century roots heritage market, Clarke explores the dynamics of Òyótúnjí Village’s religious and tourist economy. She discusses how the community generates income through the sale of prophetic divinatory consultations, African market souvenirs—such as cloth, books, candles, and carvings—and fees for community-based tours and dining services.-
    Abstract: Clarke accompanied Òyótúnjí villagers to Nigeria, and she describes how these heritage travelers often returned home feeling that despite the separation of their ancestors from Africa as a result of transatlantic slavery, they—more than the Nigerian Yorùbá—are the true claimants to the ancestral history of the Great Òyó Empire of the Yorùbá people. Mapping Yorùbá Networks is a unique look at the political economy of homeland identification and the transnational construction and legitimization of ideas such as authenticity, ancestry, blackness, and tradition

    Abstract: Landscapes of Devils is a rich, historically grounded ethnography of the western Toba, an indigenous people in northern Argentina's Gran Chaco region. In the early twentieth century, the Toba were defeated by the Argentinean army, incorporated into the seasonal labor force of distant sugar plantations, and proselytized by British Anglicans. Gastón R. Gordillo reveals how the Toba's memory of these processes is embedded in their experience of "the bush" that dominates the Chaco landscape.As Gordillo explains, the bush is the result of social, cultural, and political processes that intertwine this place with other geographies. Labor exploitation, state violence, encroachment by settlers, and the demands of Anglican missionaries all transformed this land. The Toba's lives have been torn between alienating work in sugar plantations and relative freedom in the bush, between moments of domination and autonomy, abundance and poverty, terror and healing. Part of this contradictory experience is culturally expressed in devils, evil spirits that acquire different features in different places. The devils are sources of death and disease in the plantations, but in the bush they are entities that connect with humans as providers of bush food and healing power. Enacted through memory, the experiences of the Toba have produced a tense and shifting geography. Combining extensive fieldwork conducted over a decade, historical research, and critical theory, Gordillo offers a nuanced analysis of the Toba's social memory and a powerful argument that geographic places are not only objective entities but also the subjective outcome of historical forces.

    Keywords: Tupinamba Indians ; Tupinambá ; Tupinambá
    Abstract: Tupinamba was a collective term applied to a number of Tupí-Guarani speaking tribes in addition to the Tupinamba proper. Information on the Tupinamba is available from the sixteenth century until the mid-18th century, at which time they appear to have become extinct. The Tupinamba were widely dispersed along the Atlantic coast from southern Sao Paulo to the mouth of the Amazon River. Subsistence was based primarily on agriculture.

    Keywords: Bena (African people) ; Bena ; Bena
    Abstract: The Bena are agriculturalists who live in two different ecozones in Tanzania. The Bena of the Hills live in the highlands of Njombe District, Iringa Region, Tanzania and the other, the Bena of the Rivers, live in the Ulanga valley in southwestern Morogoro Region. The Bena speak a Southern Bantu language of the Niger-Congo language family. In pre-colonial times the Bena were organized into villages which were largely autonomous and warring. They were conquered by the Hehe and, in the late nineteenth century, became subject to German colonists. There are eight documents in this collection, and the time focus is from ca. 1930 to 1965. Swartz studied the highland Bena and his research focuses on Bena politics, social organization, and psychology, especially in regard to rural development projects. Culwick has written an ethnography and history of the Ulanga Valley Bena, covering a variety of subjects, including religion, customary law, property, agricultural production, mutual aid, bride wealth, family and kin relationships, clan system, and medicine men

    Keywords: Yemenites ; Jemeniten ; Jemeniten
    Abstract: Yemen is on the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemenis are a Muslim and Arabic-speaking people who are mainly Arabs. Most Yemenis live in small, widely dispersed farming villages and towns, but it is no longer possible to make a living just by farming. Many Yemenis depend on income from males working abroad, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Islamic Yemen has two major sects. In the northern and eastern parts of Yemen are members of the Shia sect and in the southern and coastal regions are Shafis, or orthodox Sunnis. These two regions also differ in other respects; for example, tribal organization is more important in the northern and eastern parts of Yemen. This file contains one document, a cultural summary that was originally published in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures, 1994. The cultural summary includes information on history, settlement patterns, economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion

    Keywords: Dominicans ; Dominikaner ; Dominikaner
    Abstract: The island of Hispaniola, one of the Greater Antilles, lies between Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea. The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola; the western third is Haiti. The contemporary population physically reflects European and African ancestry and most of the population is officially classified as "mulatto." Dominican society is based on skin color and class distinctions. The production and export of sugarcane has been the major economic activity of the Dominican Republic. Although the government is modeled after that of the United States, Dominican politics since colonial times has mostly reflected who controls the presidency. Dominicans speak Spanish. This file contains one document, a cultural summary that appeared in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures in 1995. The cultural summary includes information on history, settlement patterns, economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion

    Keywords: Jamaicans ; Bevölkerung ; Jamaika ; Jamaika ; Bevölkerung
    Abstract: Jamaica was an English colony for 300 years while the majority of the population were African slaves. This situation produced a syncretic indigenous Jamaican culture. Sugar was the main industry until the slaves were emancipated. A dual economy exists with bauxite mining and alumina processing being the most important legitimate economic activity while the illegal growing and export of marijuana is the most important cash crop. This file contains one document, a cultural summary from the Encyclopedia of World Cultures that was published in 1995. It contains information on history, economy, settlements, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion

    Keywords: Munduruku Indians ; Mundurucú ; Mundurucú
    Abstract: The Mundurucu live in the Brazilian states of Pará and Amazonas. Mundurucu subsistence focuses on agriculture supplemented with hunting and fishing. There are two groups of Mundurucu who live in the basins of two major tributaries of the Amazon, the Tapajós and Madeira rivers. The Río Tapajós group is the geographical focus of this collection of sixteen documents. The temporal focus is on the period of 1952-1953 when Robert and Yolanda Murphy did their field work in the area, and 1979-1981 when Burkhalter did his study of the Mundurucu. The eight studies by the Murphys comprise the major portion of this file and cover a wide range of ethnographic topics relevant to the Mundurucu. The document by Burkhalter and Murphy describes socio-cultural changes that have taken place in Mundurucu society from the end of the Murphy's field work to that of Burkhalter's. Historical depth to the file is provided in the works of Tocantins and Martius, both of which provide brief ethnographic summaries of the Mundurucu for the nineteenth century

    Keywords: Lepcha (South Asian people) ; Lepcha ; Lepcha
    Abstract: The Lepcha inhabit the southern and eastern slopes of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, primarily located in the states of Sikkim and West Bengal (Darjeeling District), India. Some Lepcha also live in Nepal and Bhutan. It is believed the Lepcha originally came from either Mongolia or Tibet. The Lepcha language is classified in the Tibeto-Burman family. The Lepcha adopted the Tibetan Buddhist religion. This collection on the Lepcha contains 13 documents that focus on the Lepcha in India and on the time period from the late 1800s up until ca. 1950. Except for Foning who is a native Lepcha and lived in the region from 1938 to 1984, all the documents are based on research conducted before 1953. The earliest works are an Risley's anthropometric study from 1886-1888 and Waddell's collection of songs from 1891. Gorer and Siiger have written the most complete monographs on the Lepcha. Gorer's traveling companion, Morris, has written a more popular account. In a series of articles translated from the German, Nebesky-Wojkowitz writes about hunting and fishing, legends, religious paraphernalia, and funerals. Jest also writes about Lepcha religion and Hermanns on Lepcha myths

    Abstract: This collection about the Zapotec consists of 14 documents, all in English, with a focus on the valley Zapotec of Oaxaca, and with special emphasis on the towns of Mitla, Teotitlán del Valle, Díaz Ordaz, San Miguel del Valle, San Sebastian Teitipac, and Talea de Castro. Good overviews of Zapotec ethnography are provided by Nader and Whitecotton. Nader summarizes both Zapotec ethnography and the literature on the Zapotec as of the middle of the 1960s. Whitecotton provides information on prehistory, as well as history and ethnographic research in the area as of the 1960s and 1970s. Two works in the collection are primarily community studies, providing fairly complete ethnographic coverage on the communities investigated. Parsons, based on fieldwork in the 1930s, is a study of Mitla, while Taylor is a study of Teotitlán del Valle dating to the 1950s. Mitla has received a good deal of attention from ethnologists and further information on the community may be found in Messer and Williams. Control of water resources is an important aspect of land use in the Oaxaca valley. Downing's study concentrates on a single community (Díaz Ordas) to show how water rights, water usage, and conflicts over water change during the annual cycle with changing water availability and demand. Zapotec ideas about illness and health are discussed in Messer, which also covers the classification and use of plants in Mitla, and the report by O'Nell and Selby, which discusses susto, a debilitating folk illness characterized by depression, loss of appetite, etc., which the authors consider to be a culturally patterned reaction to psychological stress. Other ethnographic topics include inheritance and its effects on social solidarity; changes in women's roles and authority in production, ritual, and local politics from 1920-1989; the production and marketing of mutates; and harmony ideology, with particular reference to justice and social control

    Keywords: Yahgan Indians ; Yahgan ; Yahgan
    Abstract: The Yahgan occupied the southern coast of the island of Tierra del Fuego. They are considered to be extinct. Most of the information on the Yahgan is from the nineteenth century. The Yahgan language was a language isolate with no known relationship to any other. The Yahgan lived in groups of one to three nuclear families who wandered in an area until the food supply was used up and then moved on. There were no higher level social or political groups. This collection contains three documents. The time focus of the file is from the early nineteenth century to ca. 1925. The primary source of information on the Yahgan was written by Martin Gusinde in the early twentieth century

    Keywords: Bena (African people)
    Abstract: The Bena are agriculturalists who live in two different ecozones in Tanzania. The Bena of the Hills live in the highlands of Njombe District, Iringa Region, Tanzania and the other, the Bena of the Rivers, live in the Ulanga valley in southwestern Morogoro Region. The Bena speak a Southern Bantu language of the Niger-Congo language family. In pre-colonial times the Bena were organized into villages which were largely autonomous and warring. They were conquered by the Hehe and, in the late nineteenth century, became subject to German colonists. There are eight documents in this collection, and the time focus is from ca. 1930 to 1965. Swartz studied the highland Bena and his research focuses on Bena politics, social organization, and psychology, especially in regard to rural development projects. Culwick has written an ethnography and history of the Ulanga Valley Bena, covering a variety of subjects, including religion, customary law, property, agricultural production, mutual aid, bride wealth, family and kin relationships, clan system, and medicine men

    Keywords: Yemenites
    Abstract: Yemen is on the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemenis are a Muslim and Arabic-speaking people who are mainly Arabs. Most Yemenis live in small, widely dispersed farming villages and towns, but it is no longer possible to make a living just by farming. Many Yemenis depend on income from males working abroad, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Islamic Yemen has two major sects. In the northern and eastern parts of Yemen are members of the Shia sect and in the southern and coastal regions are Shafis, or orthodox Sunnis. These two regions also differ in other respects; for example, tribal organization is more important in the northern and eastern parts of Yemen. This file contains one document, a cultural summary that was originally published in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures, 1994. The cultural summary includes information on history, settlement patterns, economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion

    Abstract: Jamaica was an English colony for 300 years while the majority of the population were African slaves. This situation produced a syncretic indigenous Jamaican culture. Sugar was the main industry until the slaves were emancipated. A dual economy exists with bauxite mining and alumina processing being the most important legitimate economic activity while the illegal growing and export of marijuana is the most important cash crop. This file contains one document, a cultural summary from the Encyclopedia of World Cultures that was published in 1995. It contains information on history, economy, settlements, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion

    Abstract: The Yuki lived in northern Mendocino County, California and spoke a language, Yukian, that has no known relationship to other languages. The Yuki include the Coast Yuki, Yuki, and Huchnom. In the 1990s there were about 100 Yukis around Round Valley, California. The Yuki used to practice hunting, gathering, and fishing and the Round Valley supported a relatively dense population on the rich wild resources. However, the Round Valley land was much desired by European-American settlers and the Yuki were displaced and killed to free up the land. There are eighteen documents in this collection. A general introduction to the three main Yuki groups can be found in Kroeber's articles from the Handbook of Californian Indians

    Abstract: This collection about the Zapotec consists of 14 documents, all in English, with a focus on the valley Zapotec of Oaxaca, and with special emphasis on the towns of Mitla, Teotitĺan del Valle, D́iaz Ordaz, San Miguel del Valle, San Sebastian Teitipac, and Talea de Castro. Good overviews of Zapotec ethnography are provided by Nader and Whitecotton. Nader summarizes both Zapotec ethnography and the literature on the Zapotec as of the middle of the 1960s. Whitecotton provides information on prehistory, as well as history and ethnographic research in the area as of the 1960s and 1970s. Two works in the collection are primarily community studies, providing fairly complete ethnographic coverage on the communities investigated. Parsons, based on fieldwork in the 1930s, is a study of Mitla, while Taylor is a study of Teotitĺan del Valle dating to the 1950s. Mitla has received a good deal of attention from ethnologists and further information on the community may be found in Messer and Williams. Control of water resources is an important aspect of land use in the Oaxaca valley. Downing's study concentrates on a single community (D́iaz Ordas) to show how water rights, water usage, and conflicts over water change during the annual cycle with changing water availability and demand. Zapotec ideas about illness and health are discussed in Messer, which also covers the classification and use of plants in Mitla, and the report by O'Nell and Selby, which discusses susto, a debilitating folk illness characterized by depression, loss of appetite, etc., which the authors consider to be a culturally patterned reaction to psychological stress. Other ethnographic topics include inheritance and its effects on social solidarity; changes in women's roles and authority in production, ritual, and local politics from 1920-1989; the production and marketing of mutates; and harmony ideology, with particular reference to justice and social control

    Keywords: Yahgan Indians
    Abstract: The Yahgan occupied the southern coast of the island of Tierra del Fuego. They are considered to be extinct. Most of the information on the Yahgan is from the nineteenth century. The Yahgan language was a language isolate with no known relationship to any other. The Yahgan lived in groups of one to three nuclear families who wandered in an area until the food supply was used up and then moved on. There were no higher level social or political groups. This collection contains three documents. The time focus of the file is from the early nineteenth century to ca. 1925. The primary source of information on the Yahgan was written by Martin Gusinde in the early twentieth century

    Keywords: Dominicans
    Abstract: The island of Hispaniola, one of the Greater Antilles, lies between Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea. The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola; the western third is Haiti. The contemporary population physically reflects European and African ancestry and most of the population is officially classified as "mulatto." Dominican society is based on skin color and class distinctions. The production and export of sugarcane has been the major economic activity of the Dominican Republic. Although the government is modeled after that of the United States, Dominican politics since colonial times has mostly reflected who controls the presidency. Dominicans speak Spanish. This file contains one document, a cultural summary that appeared in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures in 1995. The cultural summary includes information on history, settlement patterns, economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion

    Keywords: Tupinamba Indians
    Abstract: Tupinamba was a collective term applied to a number of Tuṕi-Guarani speaking tribes in addition to the Tupinamba proper. Information on the Tupinamba is available from the sixteenth century until the mid-18th century, at which time they appear to have become extinct. The Tupinamba were widely dispersed along the Atlantic coast from southern Sao Paulo to the mouth of the Amazon River. Subsistence was based primarily on agriculture.

    Keywords: Munduruku Indians
    Abstract: The Mundurucu live in the Brazilian states of Paŕa and Amazonas. Mundurucu subsistence focuses on agriculture supplemented with hunting and fishing. There are two groups of Mundurucu who live in the basins of two major tributaries of the Amazon, the Tapaj́os and Madeira rivers. The Ŕio Tapaj́os group is the geographical focus of this collection of sixteen documents. The temporal focus is on the period of 1952-1953 when Robert and Yolanda Murphy did their field work in the area, and 1979-1981 when Burkhalter did his study of the Mundurucu. The eight studies by the Murphys comprise the major portion of this file and cover a wide range of ethnographic topics relevant to the Mundurucu. The document by Burkhalter and Murphy describes socio-cultural changes that have taken place in Mundurucu society from the end of the Murphy's field work to that of Burkhalter's. Historical depth to the file is provided in the works of Tocantins and Martius, both of which provide brief ethnographic summaries of the Mundurucu for the nineteenth century

    Keywords: Betsileo (Malagasy people)
    Abstract: The Betsileo are one of approximately twenty ethnic units of Madagascar. They speak a Malagasy language in the Malayo-Polynesian language family. The Betsileo are agriculturalists. The Betsileo began to use that term for themselves after their conquest by the Merina in the nineteenth century. Around 1830, their ancestors were incorporated into Betsileo Province, the sixth major subdivision of the Merina Empire, that conquered much of Madagascar. This file consists of one document, a cultural summary of the Betsileo covering the time period from 1830 to 1995. General information is presented on major aspects of economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion and expressive culture

    Keywords: Lepcha (South Asian people)
    Abstract: The Lepcha inhabit the southern and eastern slopes of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, primarily located in the states of Sikkim and West Bengal (Darjeeling District), India. Some Lepcha also live in Nepal and Bhutan. It is believed the Lepcha originally came from either Mongolia or Tibet. The Lepcha language is classified in the Tibeto-Burman family. The Lepcha adopted the Tibetan Buddhist religion. This collection on the Lepcha contains 13 documents that focus on the Lepcha in India and on the time period from the late 1800s up until ca. 1950. Except for Foning who is a native Lepcha and lived in the region from 1938 to 1984, all the documents are based on research conducted before 1953. The earliest works are an Risley's anthropometric study from 1886-1888 and Waddell's collection of songs from 1891. Gorer and Siiger have written the most complete monographs on the Lepcha. Gorer's traveling companion, Morris, has written a more popular account. In a series of articles translated from the German, Nebesky-Wojkowitz writes about hunting and fishing, legends, religious paraphernalia, and funerals. Jest also writes about Lepcha religion and Hermanns on Lepcha myths

    Keywords: Greece ; Sarakatsans ; Griechen ; Griechenland ; Griechen
    Abstract: This collection consists of of 94 English language documents and one translation from the German. While the time coverage is vast (from 800 B.C. to the 1980s) and there is good historical depth, the focus is primarily on rural Greek society in the latter half of the 20th century, particularly in the mainland regions of Boeotia, Piraeus, Kokinia, Zagor, Epiros, and central Macedonia and the major Aegean or Greek islands of Crete, Rhodes, Lesbos, and the Cyclades (Tinos, Anafi). Also included are comprehensive studies on the Sarakatsani nomads of the Zagori, Epirus, Thessaly, and central Greece regions. Several documents deal with the city of Athens

    Abstract: Performance artist and scholar E. Patrick Johnson’s provocative study examines how blackness is appropriated and performed—toward widely divergent ends—both within and outside African American culture. Appropriating Blackness develops from the contention that blackness in the United States is necessarily a politicized identity—avowed and disavowed, attractive and repellent, fixed and malleable. Drawing on performance theory, queer studies, literary analysis, film criticism, and ethnographic fieldwork, Johnson describes how diverse constituencies persistently try to prescribe the boundaries of "authentic" blackness and how performance highlights the futility of such enterprises.Johnson looks at various sites of performed blackness, including Marlon Riggs’s influential documentary Black Is . . . Black Ain’t and comedic routines by Eddie Murphy, David Alan Grier, and Damon Wayans. He analyzes nationalist writings by Amiri Baraka and Eldridge Cleaver, the vernacular of black gay culture, an oral history of his grandmother’s experience as a domestic worker in the South, gospel music as performed by a white Australian choir, and pedagogy in a performance studies classroom. By exploring the divergent aims and effects of these performances—ranging from resisting racism, sexism, and homophobia to excluding sexual dissidents from the black community—Johnson deftly analyzes the multiple significations of blackness and their myriad political implications. His reflexive account considers his own complicity, as ethnographer and teacher, in authenticating narratives of blackness

    Keywords: Frau ; Fitness ; Fitnesscenter ; Körperbild ; Japan
    Abstract: Beer, ice cream, and socializing; thighs, abs, and pecs-Japanese fitness clubs combine entertainment and exercise, reflecting the Japanese concept of fitness as encompassing a zest for life as well as physical health. Through an engaging account of these clubs, Working Out in Japan reveals how beauty, bodies, health, and leisure are understood and experienced in Japan today. An aerobics instructor in two of Tokyo's most popular fitness club chains from 1995 to 1997, Laura Spielvogel captures the diverse voices of club members, workers, and managers; women and men; young and old.Fitness clubs have proliferated in Japanese cities over the past decade. Yet, despite the pervasive influence of a beauty industry that values thinness above all else, they have met with only mixed success . Exploring this paradox, Spielvogel focuses on the tensions and contradictions within the world of Japanese fitness clubs and on the significance of differences between Japanese and North American philosophies of mind and body. Working Out in Japan explores the ways spaces and bodies are organized and regulated within the clubs, the frustrations of female instructors who face various gender inequities, and the difficult demands that the ideal of slimness places on Japanese women. Spielvogel's vivid investigation illuminates not only the fitness clubs themselves, but also broader cultural developments including the growth of the service industry and the changing character of work and leisure in Japan.

    Abstract: Opening with David Mancuso's seminal "Love Saves the Day" Valentine's party, Tim Lawrence tells the definitive story of American dance music culture in the 1970s-from its subterranean roots in NoHo and Hell's Kitchen to its gaudy blossoming in midtown Manhattan to its wildfire transmission through America's suburbs and urban hotspots such as Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Newark, and Miami.Tales of nocturnal journeys, radical music making, and polymorphous sexuality flow through the arteries of Love Saves the Day like hot liquid vinyl. They are interspersed with a detailed examination of the era's most powerful djs, the venues in which they played, and the records they loved to spin-as well as the labels, musicians, vocalists, producers, remixers, party promoters, journalists, and dance crowds that fueled dance music's tireless engine.Love Saves the Day includes material from over three hundred original interviews with the scene's most influential players, including David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, Tom Moulton, Loleatta Holloway, Giorgio Moroder, Francis Grasso, Frankie Knuckles, and Earl Young. It incorporates more than twenty special dj discographies-listing the favorite records of the most important spinners of the disco decade-and a more general discography cataloging some six hundred releases. Love Saves the Day also contains a unique collection of more than seventy rare photos.

    Abstract: The Yuki lived in northern Mendocino County, California and spoke a language, Yukian, that has no known relationship to other languages. The Yuki include the Coast Yuki, Yuki, and Huchnom. In the 1990s there were about 100 Yukis around Round Valley, California. The Yuki used to practice hunting, gathering, and fishing and the Round Valley supported a relatively dense population on the rich wild resources. However, the Round Valley land was much desired by European-American settlers and the Yuki were displaced and killed to free up the land. There are eighteen documents in this collection. A general introduction to the three main Yuki groups can be found in Kroeber's articles from the Handbook of Californian Indians

    Abstract: This collection about the Zapotec consists of 14 documents, all in English, with a focus on the valley Zapotec of Oaxaca, and with special emphasis on the towns of Mitla, Teotitĺan del Valle, D́iaz Ordaz, San Miguel del Valle, San Sebastian Teitipac, and Talea de Castro. Good overviews of Zapotec ethnography are provided by Nader and Whitecotton. Nader summarizes both Zapotec ethnography and the literature on the Zapotec as of the middle of the 1960s. Whitecotton provides information on prehistory, as well as history and ethnographic research in the area as of the 1960s and 1970s. Two works in the collection are primarily community studies, providing fairly complete ethnographic coverage on the communities investigated. Parsons, based on fieldwork in the 1930s, is a study of Mitla, while Taylor is a study of Teotitĺan del Valle dating to the 1950s. Mitla has received a good deal of attention from ethnologists and further information on the community may be found in Messer and Williams. Control of water resources is an important aspect of land use in the Oaxaca valley. Downing's study concentrates on a single community (D́iaz Ordas) to show how water rights, water usage, and conflicts over water change during the annual cycle with changing water availability and demand. Zapotec ideas about illness and health are discussed in Messer, which also covers the classification and use of plants in Mitla, and the report by O'Nell and Selby, which discusses susto, a debilitating folk illness characterized by depression, loss of appetite, etc., which the authors consider to be a culturally patterned reaction to psychological stress. Other ethnographic topics include inheritance and its effects on social solidarity; changes in women's roles and authority in production, ritual, and local politics from 1920-1989; the production and marketing of mutates; and harmony ideology, with particular reference to justice and social control

    Keywords: Yahgan Indians
    Abstract: The Yahgan occupied the southern coast of the island of Tierra del Fuego. They are considered to be extinct. Most of the information on the Yahgan is from the nineteenth century. The Yahgan language was a language isolate with no known relationship to any other. The Yahgan lived in groups of one to three nuclear families who wandered in an area until the food supply was used up and then moved on. There were no higher level social or political groups. This collection contains three documents. The time focus of the file is from the early nineteenth century to ca. 1925. The primary source of information on the Yahgan was written by Martin Gusinde in the early twentieth century

    Keywords: Yuki Indians ; Yuki ; Yuki
    Abstract: The Yuki lived in northern Mendocino County, California and spoke a language, Yukian, that has no known relationship to other languages. The Yuki include the Coast Yuki, Yuki, and Huchnom. In the 1990s there were about 100 Yukis around Round Valley, California. The Yuki used to practice hunting, gathering, and fishing and the Round Valley supported a relatively dense population on the rich wild resources. However, the Round Valley land was much desired by European-American settlers and the Yuki were displaced and killed to free up the land. There are eighteen documents in this collection. A general introduction to the three main Yuki groups can be found in Kroeber's articles from the Handbook of Californian Indians

    Keywords: Nahua Indians ; Nahuas ; Ethnology--Mexico ; Tepoztl'n ; Nahua ; Nahua
    Abstract: The Nauha Collection consists of four documents, covering a variety of historical and community-level ethnographic information on Nahua villagers living in Tepoztlán and one unidentified municipality in Huasteca. The most comprehensive document is Alan Sandstrom's. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 1970-1990, this book discusses dynamics of culture and ethnic identity among the Nahua. It argues that the Nahua have continued to exhibit linguistic and cultural features that distinguish them from many other ethnic groups of modern Mexico, despite many years of Spanish conquest and a series of government attempts to incorporate them into the dominant Mestizo culture. The remaining three documents provide first hand accounts of village life and aspects of culture in Tepoztlán municipality as observed over three research periods spanning 1926-1956. The first was 1926-1917 when anthropologist Robert Redfield conducted research on this community. The second was 1943-1948 when Oscar Lewis, together with a team of graduate students and associate researchers, lived in Tepoztlán for about a year to restudy the community. The last research period was 1956 when Oscar Lewis revisited the community to supplement his previous study by examining major changes that occurred since the first fieldwork. Together, these four documents provide a comprehensive account of culture and society among contemporary Aztec Indian villagers

    Keywords: Lepcha (South Asian people)
    Abstract: The Lepcha inhabit the southern and eastern slopes of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, primarily located in the states of Sikkim and West Bengal (Darjeeling District), India. Some Lepcha also live in Nepal and Bhutan. It is believed the Lepcha originally came from either Mongolia or Tibet. The Lepcha language is classified in the Tibeto-Burman family. The Lepcha adopted the Tibetan Buddhist religion. This collection on the Lepcha contains 13 documents that focus on the Lepcha in India and on the time period from the late 1800s up until ca. 1950. Except for Foning who is a native Lepcha and lived in the region from 1938 to 1984, all the documents are based on research conducted before 1953. The earliest works are an Risley's anthropometric study from 1886-1888 and Waddell's collection of songs from 1891. Gorer and Siiger have written the most complete monographs on the Lepcha. Gorer's traveling companion, Morris, has written a more popular account. In a series of articles translated from the German, Nebesky-Wojkowitz writes about hunting and fishing, legends, religious paraphernalia, and funerals. Jest also writes about Lepcha religion and Hermanns on Lepcha myths

    Keywords: Yemenites
    Abstract: Yemen is on the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemenis are a Muslim and Arabic-speaking people who are mainly Arabs. Most Yemenis live in small, widely dispersed farming villages and towns, but it is no longer possible to make a living just by farming. Many Yemenis depend on income from males working abroad, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Islamic Yemen has two major sects. In the northern and eastern parts of Yemen are members of the Shia sect and in the southern and coastal regions are Shafis, or orthodox Sunnis. These two regions also differ in other respects; for example, tribal organization is more important in the northern and eastern parts of Yemen. This file contains one document, a cultural summary that was originally published in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures, 1994. The cultural summary includes information on history, settlement patterns, economy, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion

    Keywords: Bena (African people)
    Abstract: The Bena are agriculturalists who live in two different ecozones in Tanzania. The Bena of the Hills live in the highlands of Njombe District, Iringa Region, Tanzania and the other, the Bena of the Rivers, live in the Ulanga valley in southwestern Morogoro Region. The Bena speak a Southern Bantu language of the Niger-Congo language family. In pre-colonial times the Bena were organized into villages which were largely autonomous and warring. They were conquered by the Hehe and, in the late nineteenth century, became subject to German colonists. There are eight documents in this collection, and the time focus is from ca. 1930 to 1965. Swartz studied the highland Bena and his research focuses on Bena politics, social organization, and psychology, especially in regard to rural development projects. Culwick has written an ethnography and history of the Ulanga Valley Bena, covering a variety of subjects, including religion, customary law, property, agricultural production, mutual aid, bride wealth, family and kin relationships, clan system, and medicine men
