vi+218 pages with tables, charts, maps and appendices. Octavo (8 3/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Museum of anthropology, University of Michigan, Number 23. Reprint. Anthropologists and botanists talk about the value of prehistoric plant remains and plants of living aborigines in the study of evolution of human cultures and plants, but they publish very little. Richard Yarnell provides a much needed report of studies he and others have made, paying particular attention to Michigan, and summarizes the literature and some unpublished records of Volney Jones and Edward Voss. He goes far beyond the Upper Great Lakes area and, especially for cultivated plants, covers materials from New York to Kentucky and to Nebraska, Wisconsin and Ontario. This work is essential for anyone studying plant use by Indians of this region. Condition: Head end pages damp stained, corners bumped, spine sunned else a very good copy.

306-321 pages with tables and cited references. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Volume 69, numbers 3-4 complete issue. First edition.Gross ethnic differences in excessive drinking and other forms of social-problem behavior among Indians, Spanish-Americans, and Anglo-Americans living in a single Southwestern community, as well as a wide range of within-group differences in such behavior, serve as the confronting problem. A random sample of all adults in the community was interviewed, using a variety of structured and semistructured procedures. The differential effects of acculturation and economic access on social and psychological pressures for and controls against engaging in deviant behavior among the two minority groups are analyzed for their explanatory power. An initial paradox involving differences in Spanish and Indian response to acculturation is resolved, and implications of the results for general acculturation theory are then drawn.Condition: Previous… Read More

Since the girl's latter status reduces the possibility for tension to develop between herself and her future mother-in-law/mother, the benefits of minor marriage for domestic harmony outweigh its disadvantages as the culturally 'despised' form of marriage.Condition: Spine and edges sunned, light edge wear, corners bumped else very good.

799-820 pages with charts and tables. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") Volume 82, number 4 complete bound in original publisher's wrappers. First edition. The frequency and form of adoption practices in Oceania recently have been cited as evidence that human behavior is inconsistent with prediction derived from sociobiological theory (Sahlins 1976). Ethnographic data reviewed here, however, suggest otherwise. In Oceania kinship is an important factor in the selection and treatment of adopted children as adoption occurs almost exclusively among close relatives. Natal children often ally against their adopted siblings over the division of their common parents' estate while adoptive parents themselves frequently apportion their land unequally among their natal and adopted children. These patterns and other data are consistent with predictions generated by a sociobiological model of adoptive decisions. The model illustrated how kinship facilitates adoption as a means of modifying extreme family sizes, and… Read More

Description:
296-305 pages with cited references. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Volume 62, number 2. First edition.The nature of Northwest Coast social stratification and the nature of the institution most intimately related to it, the potlatch, are problems of widely recognized importance. Yet attempts at solving these problems have not been wholly satisfactory. Generalizations about social stratification have been betrayed by failure to give sufficient weight to all of the differences in social structure that existed among the various Northwest Coast tribes. Explanations of the potlatch have been only partial ones, finding its function in the expression of the individual's drive for high status or in the fulfillment of society's need for solidarity. Relating these functions to man's other requirements for survival has often been inhibited by an assumption that the satisfaction of alimentary needs through the food quest and the satisfaction of psychological needs through… Read More

After acquiring his first piece of tribal art in 1926, he continued to collect objects for the sheer enjoyment of their aesthetic qualities. Thus the collection, begun at a time when it was not fashionable to collect this kind of material as art, gives a strong insight into the aesthetic sensibilities of the Lorans.

This paper presents the outline of an anthropological political ecology that fully acknowledges the constructedness of nature while suggesting steps to weave together the cultural and the biological on constructivist grounds. From tropical rain forests to advanced biotechnology laboratories, the resources for inventing natures and cultures are unevenly distributed. The paper proposes an antiessentialist framework for investigating the manifold forms that the natural takes in today's world. This proposal builds on current trends in ecological anthropology, political ecology, and social and cultural studies of science and technology. The resulting framework identifies and conceptualizes three distinct but interrelated nature regimes—organic, capitalist, and techno—and sketches their characteristics, their articulations, and their… Read More

Before contact with the West, the Asabano of Papua New Guinea treated human remains differently depending on the type of relationship survivors planned to have with the deceased. Traditional methods included corpse exposure with curation or disposal of bones, disposal of corpses in rivers, and cannibalism. Following their conversion to Christianity, Asabano burned or buried their bone relics and commenced coffin inhumation in cemeteries. These practices left distinctive memories and physical records that served as means to alter, enhance, or terminate relations with the deceased who are biologically but not, according to the Asabano, socially dead.

A coherent account of emotional change must find a dynamic, a vector of alteration, outside the discursive structures and normative practices that have monopolized ethnographic attention in research on affect. But this dynamic can be found in the very character of emotional expression. Emotion talk and emotional gestures are not well characterized by the notion of "discourse" derived from the poststructuralist theories of Foucault or by that of "practice" derived from the theoretical writings of Bourdieu, Giddens, and others. These concepts do not capture the two‐way character of emotional utterances and acts, their unique capacity to alter what they "refer" to or what they "represent"–‐a capacity which makes them neither "constative" nor "performative" utterances but a third type of communicative utterance entirely,… Read More
