Cover of Commonality and Difference

Commonality and Difference

by Glenn Withers

Published 31 October 2000

Australia and the US are similar in many ways, yet they diverge dramatically in many others. This inaugural volume in the Australian Fulbright series brings together a group of both Australian and American scholars to review key aspects of this commonality and difference. The focus is on how both countries have handled two of the big trade-offs in national policy: pluralism versus unity, and economic growth versus equity. As befits a project under Fulbright auspices, attention is also given to t...

by Helen Hardacre

Published 1 May 1997

Helen Hardacre provides new insights into the spiritual and cultural dimensions of abortion debates around the world in this careful examination of mizuko kuyo--a Japanese religious ritual for aborted fetuses.

As she explores the complex issues that surround this pract...

This Land Is Our Land

by Alex Stepick, Guillermo Grenier, Max Castro, and Marvin Dunn

Published 1 January 2003

For those opposed to immigration, Miami is a nightmare. Miami is the de facto capital of Latin America; it is a city where immigrants dominate, Spanish is ubiquitous, and Denny's is an ethnic restaurant. Are Miami's immigrants representative of a trend that is undermining American culture and identity? Drawing from in-depth fieldwork in the city and looking closely at recent events such as the Elian Gonzalez case, This Land Is Our Land examines interactions between immigrants and established Am...

Having People, Having Heart

by China Scherz

Published 1 January 2014

Believing that charity inadvertently legitimates social inequality and fosters dependence, many international development organizations have increasingly sought to replace material aid with efforts to build self-reliance and local institutions. But in some cultures - like those in rural Uganda, where Having People, Having Heart takes place - people see this shift not as an effort toward empowerment but as a suspect refusal to redistribute wealth. Exploring this conflict, China Scherz balances th...

Introduction to Cultural Anthropology

by Garrick A. Bailey and James Peoples

Published 3 September 1998

A briefer version of Peoples and Bailey's best-selling HUMANITY: AN INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, 4th (1997). HUMANITY, 4th is noteworthy for its strong historical coverage and concentration on ethnic conflict in the modern world. The brief text will condense much of this material, appealing to the significant number of instructors who assign supplemental readings and ethnographies along with a main text. INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY is a more accessible text with greater visua...

William the Lion, 1143-1214

by D.D.R. Owen

Published 1 January 2001

This biography reviews the known facts of the life of William the Lion, Scotland's longest reigning king, and presents them within the broad context of the country's early history and culture. While much of the story centres on the often brittle relationship with the English Plantagenets, Scotland emerges as a European power, respected not least for its now largely forgotten cultural flowering. This is demonstrated in the later chapters by an examination of a body of hiterto undervalued texts, n...
