Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's beige cloth with brown label to spine with silver lettering and decorations to spine in original jacket. From the library of Professor Donald Worcester. First edition. When Antonio María Bucareli took up his duties in 1771 as the forty-sixth viceroy of New Spain, he assumed command of a magnificent complexity of land areas, large and small, whose people constituted a cultural and social entity ranging from the traditional Apache to the European gentleman of the Enlightenment. He governed a key area at a significant time. Shortly before Bucareli's arrival in Mexico, José de Gálvez had completed an intensive inspection of the country, had instituted many reforms, and was ready to present the new viceroy with progressive policies for administrative reorganization. How Bucareli, a loyal, indefatigable Spanish aristocrat, reacted to the new order is the particular… Read More

142 pages with illustrations. Duodecimo (6 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. Rafael Lopez came to Utah to help break a strike up in Bingham Canyon in 1912. A year later, he was a fugitive ­ and a folk hero. When Greek miners went out on strike in 1912, the Utah Copper Company turned to Mexican labor to keep production moving in its Bingham Canyon mine. Some of the strike-breakers stayed on after the dispute was settled. One of them a miner named Rafael Lopez became a folk hero among Mexican workers for his successful if violent defiance of authority. During the first decades of the twentieth century, the mining camps of Bingham Canyon were melting pots of Finns, Serbs, Greeks, and French. The Mexicans who looked for work there often had to take the least desirable jobs, but Lopez made forty dollars a day extracting ore from abandoned old slopes, and made a reputation as an industrious worker. But one evening in 1913, Lopez murdered a fellow… Read More

166-187 pages with cited references. Quarto (10" x 7") bound in original publisher's wrappers. American Antiquity Volume 37, number 2 complete issue. First edition. An evolutionary and ecological approach is used in an attempt to define the causes and motivations involved in the process of Oneota development in Wisconsin. A primary thesis of this paper is that the Oneota life-way emerged from a Woodland base modified in the direction of the Mississippian pattern. The rapid appearance of a qualitatively distinctive pattern of socio-political organization, the multi-band or "tribal," is thought to be responsible in part for the difficulty in tracing this development. It is suggested that this level of integration became firmly established as the dominant socio-political structure throughout the northeastern United States by A.D. 1100-1200. Early Oneota settlements (A.D. 900-1300) are then contrasted to late Oneota settlements (A.D. 1300-1600) in Wisconsin and a difference in cultural ecological… Read More

First edition. This study of wage-labor migration and its relation to household composition and economics is based on a sample of 70 households in a central Mexican town. Specific types of migration are linked to job locations within Mexico or the United States and to the amount and reliability of remittances. The latter two factors are critical in determining the impact of labor migration on the household. New facets of the association of female household headship and out-migration are presented. A predictive model in the form of a flow diagram illustrates the interrelationships of variables.

20 pages with tables and cited references. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Volume 69, number 1 complete issue. First edition.It has been stated that shifting agriculture among the Maya of the Classic Period could have been expected to produce an adequate supply of maize to support their complex civilization, and that its collapse could not have been due to the inadequacies of the method of production. This article presents a study of the contemporary milpa system among descendants of the Itzá of Petén, Guatemala: first, a description of the basic Maya approach to the elements of nature; second, their sociological accommodations; third, economic factors; and fourth, the conclusions and implications for Maya cultural history. If the case at hand is relevant, food shortages were involved in the economic and social collapse of many independent religious centers of the Southern Lowland Maya.

The relationships between the social development in the upper Lurin valley and an expanding Early Intermediate period Lima state are examined. Internally, population growth and irrigation complexity progress together in the Lurin. Warfare, although not directly caused by population expansion, may function to regulate population. With irrigation and population expansion, a local social stratification originates but political control remains highly dispersed. A centralized control is only initiated by the external introduction of direct dominance by the Lima state.

421-433 pages with charts, figures and cited references. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Volume 71, number 3 complete issue. First edition.The substantivist-formalist debate over the applicability of economics to non-Western societies may be illuminated by consideration of the nature of economic analysis. Because this analysis takes as data preferences technical production or exchange possibilities and an inventory of resources, it is shown incapable of being an exhaustive model of a society, but since these patterns interact in any human group, there is always a use for economic analysis in tracing how resources are allocated to needs, whether on a basis of maximization or of fixed targets. Applications of economic analysis to anthropologists' problems and alternative definitions of "the economy" are also considered.Condition: Spine and edges sunned, light edge wear, corners bumped, rubbed and creased else very good.
