EmpiresEdited by Susan E. AlcockUniversity of Michigan, Ann ArborTerence N. D’AltroyColumbia University, New YorkKathleen D. MorrisonUniversity of Chicagoand Carla M. SinopoliUniversity of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Empires, the largest political systems of the ancient and early modern world, powerfullytransformed the lives of people within and even beyond their frontiers in ways quitedifferent from other, non-imperial societies. Appearing in all parts of the globe, and inmany different epochs, empires invite comparative analysis – yet few attempts have beenmade to place imperial systems within such a framework. This book brings together studiesby distinguished scholars from diverse academic traditions, including anthropology,archaeology, history, and classics. The empires discussed include case studies from Centraland South America, the Mediterranean, Europe, the Near East, South East Asia, and China,and range in time from the first millennium BC to the early modern era. The bookorganizes these detailed studies into five thematic sections: sources, approaches anddefinitions; empires in a wider world; imperial integration and imperial subjects; imperialideologies; and the afterlife of empires.

Archaeological Theory andScientific PracticeAndrew JonesUniversity of Cambridge

Is archaeology an art or a science? Thisquestion has been hotly debated over thelast few decades with the rise ofarchaeological science. At the same time,archaeologists have seen a change in theintellectual character of their discipline, asmany writers have adopted approachesinfluenced by social theory. The disciplinenow encompasses both archaeologicalscientists and archaeological theorists, anddiscussion regarding the status ofarchaeology remains polarised. AndrewJones argues that we need to analyse thepractice of archaeology. Through ananalysis of archaeological practice,influenced by recent developments in thefield of science studies, and with the aid ofextensive case studies, he develops a newframework which allows the interpretativeand methodological components of thediscipline to work in tandem. Hisreassessment of the status and character ofarchaeology will be of interest to bothstudents, scholars and professionals.Topics in Contemporary Archaeology2001 228 x 152 mm 190pp 13 line diagrams5 tables 12 graphs 12 maps0 521 79060 3 Hardback c. £35.00Publication October 2001

Hawaiki, Ancestral PolynesiaAn Essay in Historical AnthropologyPatrick Vinton KirchUniversity of California, Berkeleyand Roger C. GreenUniversity of Auckland

The power of an anthropological approachto long-term history lies in its uniqueability to combine diverse evidence, fromarchaeological artifacts to ethnographic textsand comparative word lists. In this innovativebook, Kirch and Green explicitly developthe theoretical underpinnings, as well as theparticular methods, for such a historicalanthropology. Drawing upon and integratingthe approaches of archaeology, comparativeethnography, and historical linguistics, theyadvance a phylogenetic model for culturaldiversification, and apply a triangulationmethod for historical reconstruction. Theyillustrate their approach through meticulousapplication to the history of the Polynesiancultures, and for the first time reconstructin extensive detail the Ancestral Polynesianculture that flourished in the Polynesianhomeland – Hawaiki – some 2,500 years ago.Of great significance for Oceanic studies,Kirch and Green’s book will be essentialreading for any anthropologist, prehistorian,linguist, or cultural historian concerned withthe theory and method of long-term history.

Ancient Egyptian Materials andTechnologyEdited by Paul T. NicholsonUniversity of Wales College of Cardiffand Ian ShawUniversity College London

This is a study of the procurement andprocessing of raw materials employed bythe ancient Egyptians over the fivemillennia of the Predynastic and Pharaonicperiods (c. 5500–332 BC). During thistime, not only were there variations in thepreferred materials for particular types ofartefacts, but also gradual processes oftechnological change, and the industries ofthe Chalcolithic period werecomplemented and sometimes supersededby the innovations of the Bronze and IronAges. Among the topics covered are stonequarrying, the building of temples andpyramids, techniques for preserving meat,fish, and poultry, glass and faience, thebaking of bread, brewing of beers,preparation of oils and perfumes, and themummification of humans and animals.Each chapter has been written by one ormore specialists, drawing not only onconventional Egyptological skills but alsoon expertise in the natural sciences asapplied to archaeological data.

‘Ancient Egyptian Materials andTechnology … augments and extendsLucas’s work. The editors have enlisted thespecialist knowledge of thirty-four scholarsto accomplish thier purpose, and theresulting volume is very impressive.’

Cambridge World Archaeology is addressedto students and professional archaeologists,and to academics in related disciplines. Thebooks present a survey of the archaeologyof a region of the world, providing an up-to-date account of research, and integraterecent findings with new concerns ofinterpretation. While they focus on aspecific region, they also cover broadercultural trends, and consider theimplications of regional findings for cross-cultural interpretations.

The Archaeology of AncientGreeceJames WhitleyUniversity of Wales College of Cardiff

The Archaeology of Ancient Greeceprovides an up-to-date synthesis ofcurrent research on the material cultureof Greece in the Archaic and Classicalperiods (1000–300 BC). The rich anddiverse material culture of ancientGreece has always provoked admirationand even wonder, but it is seldomanalysed as a key to our understandingof Greek civilisation. Dr Whitley showshow the material evidence can be usedto address central historical questionsfor which literary evidence is ofteninsufficient.

Early Neolithic GreeceCatherine PerlesUniversité de Paris X

Farmers made a sudden and dramaticappearance in Greece around 7000 BC,bringing with them new ceramics andcrafts, and establishing settled villages.They were Europe’s first farmers, and theirsettlements provide the link between thefirst agricultural communities in the NearEast and the subsequent spread of the newtechnologies to the Balkans and on toWestern Europe. Catherine Perlès arguesthat the stimulus for the spread ofagriculture to Europe was a colonisationmovement involving small groups ofmaritime peoples. Drawing evidence froma wide range of archaeological sources,including often neglected ‘small finds’, andintroducing daring new perspectives onfunerary rituals and the distribution offigurines, she constructs a complex andsubtle picture of early Neolithic societies,overturning the traditional view that thesesocieties were simple and self-sufficient.Cambridge World Archaeology2001 247 x 174 mm c.352pp 68 line diagrams11 tables 17 maps0 521 80181 8 Hardback c. £60.000 521 00027 0 Paperback c. £22.95Publication September 2001

Ethnoarchaeology in ActionNicholas DavidUniversity of Calgaryand Carol KramerUniversity of Arizona

Ethnoarchaeology first developed as thestudy of ethnographic material culturefrom archaeological perspectives. Over thepast half century it has expanded its scope,especially to cultural and socialanthropology. Both authors are leadingpractitioners, and their theoreticalperspective embraces both theprocessualism of the New Archaeology andthe post-processualism of the 1980s and90s. A case-study approach enables abalanced global geographic and topicalcoverage, including consideration ofmaterials in French and German. Threeintroductory chapters introduce the subjectand its history, survey the theory, anddiscuss field methods and ethics. Tentopical chapters consider formationprocesses, subsistence, the study of artifactsand style, settlement systems, site structureand architecture, specialist craftproduction, trade and exchange, andmortuary practices and ideology.Ethnoarchaeology in Action concludes withethnoarchaeology’s contributions actual andpotential, and with a look at its placewithin anthropology.

House and Society in the AncientGreek WorldLisa C. NevettOpen University, Milton Keynes

This book re-examines traditionalassumptions about the nature of socialrelationships in Greek households duringthe Classical and Hellenistic periods.Through detailed exploration ofarchaeological evidence from individualhouses, Lisa Nevett identifies a recognisableconcept of the citizen household as a socialunit, and suggests that this was present innumerous Greek cities. She argues that insuch households relations between menand women, traditionally perceived asdominating the domestic environment,should be placed within the wider contextof domestic activity. Although gender wasan important cultural factor which helpedto shape the organisation of the house, thiswas balanced against other influences,notably the relationship between householdmembers and outsiders. At the same timethe role of the household in relation to thewider social structures of the polis, or citystate, changed rapidly through time, withthe house itself coming to represent animportant symbol of personal prestige.New Studies in Archaeology2001 247 x 174 mm 234pp 5 half-tones3 graphs 1 figure 2 maps 51 plans0 521 00025 4 Paperback £15.95Publication April 2001

Egyptology at the University of Oxford,and Norman Yoffee, Professor ofArchaeology and Near Eastern Studies atthe University of Michigan, in 1992. In aninfluential paper, they compared andcontrasted the nature of social and politicalpower in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Thiswas the first analysis of the impact ofwealth and high culture on thedevelopment of states. The contributors tothe present book apply the classicBaines/Yoffee model to a range of ancientstates around the world, providingdocumentary and archaeological evidenceon the production and uses of ‘highculture’, literature and monumentalarchitecture. There are chapters onMesoamerica, the Andes, the Indus Valley,the Han Dynasty of China, and Greeceduring the Roman empire, while othersexpand on the original Egypt-Mesopotamiacomparison.

An Island Archaeology of the EarlyCycladesCyprian BroodbankUniversity College London

This book uses comparative islandarchaeology to reinterpret a vital phase inearly Aegean history. Cyprian Broodbankpresents the first modern analysis ofCycladic culture, tracing the developmentof Neolithic and Early Bronze Age societiesin these islands from first colonisationthrough to incorporation, three millennialater, in the world system of the Minoanpalaces and the wider Near East. Thearchaeology of this region is rich and well-documented, and allows Dr Broodbank toreformulate early Cycladic history and todeploy detailed examples that challengeestablished approaches to islandarchaeology. He shows that islanders canactively define their cultural space andenvironments, and that their communitiesare linked by complex relations to the non-insular world. This book provides freshperspectives and challenges for islandarchaeologists and Mediterraneanspecialists.

Surveying Instruments of Greeceand RomeM. J. T. LewisUniversity of Hull

The Greeks and, especially, the Romans arefamous for the heroic engineering of theiraqueducts, tunnels and roads. They alsomeasured the circumference of the earthand the heights of mountains with fairprecision. This book presents newtranslations (from Greek, Latin, Arabic,Hebrew and Syriac) of all the ancient textsconcerning surveying, including majorsources hitherto untapped. It explores thehistory of surveying instruments, notablythe Greek dioptra and the Roman libra,and with the help of tests withreconstructions explains how they wereused in practice. This is a subject which hasnever been tackled before in anything likethis depth. The Greeks emerge as thepioneers of instrumental surveying and,though their equipment and methods weresimple by modern standards, they and theRomans can be credited with a level oftechnical sophistication which must countas one of the greatest achievements of theancient world.

Between the eighth and sixth centuries,the Phoenicians established the firsttrading system in the Mediterraneanbasin, from their homeland, in what isnow Lebanon, to colonies in Cyprus,Tunisia, Sicily, Sardinia and southernSpain. The Phoenician state was able tomaintain its independence, despite theterritorial expansion of the Assyrians, inreturn for tribute provided by itswestern colonies. Archaeologicalresearch over the past decades, and stillongoing, has transformed ourunderstanding of these colonies andtheir relationship to local communities.This updated version of Maria EugeniaAubet’s highly praised book, ThePhoenicians and the West, originallypublished in English in 1993,incorporates the most recent researchfindings, an expanded bibliography, andan appendix on radiometric dating. Asthe only English-language synthesis onthe Phoenicians, it will be welcomed byscholars and students of Mediterraneanhistory and archaeology, and anyoneinterested in early trading systems.

Europe’s First FarmersEdited by T. Douglas PriceUniversity of Wisconsin, MadisonWith contributions by Malcolm LillieUniversity of Hull

Plants and animals originally domesticatedin the Near East arrived in Europe between7000 and 4000 BC. Was the newtechnology introduced by migrants, or wasit an ‘inside job’? How were the newspecies adapted to European conditions?What were the immediate and long-termconsequences of the transition fromhunting and gathering to farming? Thesecentral questions in the prehistory ofEurope are discussed here by leadingspecialists, drawing on the latestscholarship in fields as diverse as geneticsand IndoEuropean linguistics. Detailedstudies document the differences betweenEuropean regions, and fresh generalisationsabout the origins of European agricultureare also proposed and debated.

20 Social and Cultural Anthropology

Anthropology HighlightsGrimshaw’s exploration of the role of vision within modern anthropology engages withcurrent debates about ocularcentism, investigating the relationship between vision andknowledge in ethnographic enquiry. Using John Berger’s notion of ‘ways of seeing’, theauthor argues that vision operates differently as a technique and theory of knowledge withinthe discipline. In the first part of the book she examines contrasting visions at work in theso-called classical British school, reassessing the legacy of Rivers, Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown through the lens of early modern art and cinema. In the second part of the book,the changing relationship between vision and knowledge is explored through theanthropology of Jean Rouch, David and Judith MacDougall, and Melissa Llewelyn-Davies.Vision is foregrounded in the work of these contemporary ethnographers, focusing moregeneral questions about technique and epistemology whether image-based media are usedor not in ethnographic enquiry.

Edmund LeachAn Anthropological LifeStanley TambiahHarvard University, Massachusetts

This book is primarily an intellectualbiography of Edmund Leach(1910–1989), one of Britain’s foremostsocial and cultural anthropologists,whose versatility, originality and rangeof writing is difficult to match amongthe anthropologists of the Englishspeaking world. His substantialcontributions to knowledge have dealtwith kinship and social organization,hill tribes and valley peoples; and tenureand peasant economy; aesthetics; Britishstructural-functional method and thestructuralism of Levi-Strauss; biblicalnarratives and the myths of ClassicalGreece. Leach was not wedded to anysettled orthodoxy, and what made hiswritings exciting was hisexperimentation with new ideas, and hisexpansions of the horizons of thediscipline. He had a distinctive view ofthe comparative method, whichdiscarding and transcending the staledichotomy of the ‘primitive’ versus the‘modern’, saw a dialectic between ‘usmodern’ and ‘them primitives’ astransformations of one anotherilluminating common humanpropensities and capacities.2001 228 x 152 mm 300pp 5 half-tones1 figure0 521 80824 3 Hardback c. £40.00Publication November 2001

The Evolution of Human SocietiesFrom Foraging Group to Agrarian StateSecond editionAllen W. JohnsonUniversity of California, Los Angelesand Timothy EarleNorthwestern University

This ambitious work seeks to describe andexplain the growth in complexity of humansocieties. Its emphasis is on the causes,mechanisms, and patterns of culturalevolution, which the authors explain interms of a coherent theory of the politicaleconomy. The authors show that theinterconnected processes of technologicalchange and population growth are themotor of social change, resulting in threerelated processes – intensification,integration, and stratification – thattransform human societies over time. Thevalidity of their theory rests on evidencedrawn from 19 case studies that rangewidely over time and space. For this newedition, the authors have thoroughlyrewritten the theoretical argument forgreater clarity, updated the case materials toincorporate new research, and added a newchapter that applies their theoreticalperspective to the problems of change sincethe industrial revolution and theglobalization of trade and politicalinfluence.

The Burden of TimePhotographs from the Highlands ofChiapasMarcey Jacobson

This book reproduces some 75extraordinary photographs by MarceyJacobson of the indigenous Maya andnon-indigenous Latino peoples of SanCristóbal de las Casas in the highlandsof Chiapas, Mexico. Largely takenduring the 1960s and 1970s, thesestunning and historically revealingphotographs depict the daily life andcelebrations of the local population –selling goods in street markets,participating in religious rituals, beggingin town squares, and a myriad of otheractivities. They offer a sensitive,respectful, and honest portrait of aregion increasingly under pressure fromthe disruptive forces of modernizationand political change. Jacobson’sphotographs tack back and forththrough people’s lives to explore theencumbrances and joys of the passage oftime.

‘As a photographer, I view Jacobson’swork as a remarkably comprehensiveunveiling of a culture that is largelyhidden from view. It is astute work, theproduct of years of intelligentconcentration. Her photographsaccomplish something quite rare – shereveals significant detail in a way that isunstylized, unselfconscious, andunspectacular. By this, I mean that sherelies on her subjects to depictthemselves, rather than attempting toplace them in some sort of artisticcontext. She subtly blends anthropologyand art.’

Contingent CountrysideSettlement, Economy, and Land Use in theSouthern Argolid since 1700Edited by Susan Buck SuttonIndiana University and Purdue University, Indiana

This volume examines how residents ofGreece’s southern Argolid have attemptedto shelter, feed, and advance theireconomic situation over the last threecenturies. Ethnographic, geographic,historical, and archaeologicalmethodologies are integrated to yield animage of the southern Argolid as acontingent countryside whose boundarieshave been constantly reconfigured.

‘Within the disciplines of classics and thearcheology and cultural anthropology ofGreece, this book is of central importancefor two reasons. First, the authors presentvaluable documentation and intelligentdiscussion of a relatively neglected periodof Greek history. Second, the ArgolidExploration Project is the father and long-awaited exemplar of a generation of writingby historians, classicists, and archaeologistson regional and rural studies of Greece.These essays also transcend their particularfield of interest by providing critical newperspectives on the ways in whichhistorians and archaeologists haveenvisioned the past and by presenting newdata for examining the relationshipbetween the present and the past.’L.

Are babies divine, or do they have thedevil in them? Should parents talk totheir infants, or is it a waste of time?Answers to questions about the natureand nurture of infants appear in thisbook as advice to parents in seven worldsocieties. Imagine what Dr Spock mighthave written if he were a healer fromBali … or an Aboriginal grandmotherfrom the Australian desert … or adiviner from a rural village in WestAfrica. As the seven childcare ‘manuals’in this book reveal, experts worldwideoffer intriguingly different advice to newparents. The creative format of thisbook brings alive a rich fund ofethnographic knowledge, vividlyillustrating a simple but powerful truth:there exist many models of babyhood,each shaped by deeply held values andwidely varying cultural contexts. Afterreading this book, you will never againview child rearing as a matter of‘common sense’.

‘A World of Babies is a witty, charming,and yet thoughtful and informativebook that … is … for anyone who hasever wondered if babies are raised thesame everywhere. A World of Babies,with its seven truth-filled fictionalmanuals on child-rearing from differentparts of the world, gently persuades usthat bringing a new person intoexistence is always a question of cultureand history.’

Explaining Human OriginsWiktor StoczkowskiCentre National de la Recherche Scientifique(CNRS), ParisTranslated by Mary Turton

Wiktor Stoczkowski, apalaeoanthropologist, argues that thetheories of human origins developed byarchaeologists and physicalanthropologists from the earlynineteenth century to the present dayare structurally similar to Western folktheories, and to the speculations ofearlier philosophers. Reviewing aremarkable range of thinkers writing ina variety of European languages, hemakes a convincing argument for thiscase. Even though the book criticises thelack of development in theories ofhuman origins, it concludes on anoptimistic conclusion about the powerof the scientific approach to delivermore reliable theories – but only if it isconscious of the baggage it carries overfrom popular discourse.2001 228 x 152 mm 216pp 17 half-tones0 521 65134 4 Hardback c. £40.000 521 65730 X Paperback c. £14.95Publication November 2001

Ritual and Religion in the Makingof HumanityRoy A. Rappaport

‘Once in a great while there appears a bookthat alters the dimensions of theintellectual field to which it speaks. This issuch a book. In it, the author marshalsinsights drawn from ethnography andecology, the cybernetics of communication,comparative religion and semiotics toestablish the centrality of ritual for what itmeans to be human. In clear and elegantprose, Roy Rappaport calls into questionmany of the ways we think about theworld. The result is an intellectualadventure of the first magnitude’

Eric Wolf

‘Roy Rappaport’s book is an admirableblend of rich information and analyticalpower. It is a committed and challengingreflection on the importance of religionand the constructive power of rituals for apost-modern world, seen in the light of itpre-modern and modern history. Acourageous work in a period of overspecialized scholarship, I have never readsuch a comprehensive and penetratingtreatise on rituals.’

Hans Kung, Universität Tubingen

‘Invoking concepts from fields as diverse asspeech-acts theory and cybernetics,Rappaport constructs one of the fullest andrichest theories of ritual to be found …Roy Rappaport writes with both clarity andpassion … the grandeur of Rappaport’seffort to demonstrate the centrality ofritual and of religion is most impressive.’

The Psychology of CulturalExperienceEdited by Carmella C. MooreUniversity of California, Irvineand Holly F. MathewsEast Carolina University

The essays in this volume focus uponthe relationship of individual experienceto culture, and chart a new researchagenda for psychological anthropologyin the twenty-first century. Drawingupon fieldwork in diverse culturalsettings, the authors use a range ofcontemporary perspectives in the field,including person-centred ethnography,activity theory, attachment theory andcultural schema theory, to describe theways in which people think, feel,remember, and solve problems.Fascinating insights emerge from thesefine-grained accounts of personalexperience. The research demonstratesthat it is possible to identify cross-cultural universals in psychologicaldevelopment and mental states, and thatindividual psychology is not determinedsolely by unique cultural patterns.

The Navigation of FeelingFramework for a History of EmotionsWilliam M. ReddyDuke University, North Carolina

In The Navigation of Feeling: Frameworkfor the History of Emotions, William M.Reddy offers a new theory of emotionswhich both critiques and expands uponrecent research in the fields ofanthropology and psychology.Exploring the links between emotionand cognition, between culture andemotional expression, Reddy applies thistheory of emotions to the processes ofhistory. He demonstrates how emotionschange over time, how emotions have avery important impact on the course ofevents, and how different social orderseither facilitate or constrain emotionallife. In an investigation of RevolutionaryFrance, where sentimentalism inliterature and philosophy had promiseda new and unprecedented kind ofemotional liberty, Reddy’s theory ofemotions and historical change issuccessfully put to the test.



‘Brilliant and wonderful: this is a bookof profound scholarship that willbecome central to the fast growinginterdisciplinary interest in emotion.Reddy bridges psychology, anthropologyand history to explore the fascinatingidea that emotion is the process thatmanages the concerns that are mostintimate to humankind.’

Living and Working with the NewMedical TechnologiesIntersections of InquiryEdited by Margaret LockMcGill University, MontréalAllan YoungMcGill Universityand Alberto CambrosioMcGill University

This stimulating collection of essays is theproduct of face-to-face dialogues amonganthropologists, sociologists, andphilosopher-historians, all of whom focustheir attention on the newly createdbiomedical technologies and theirapplication in practice. Drawing onethnographic and historical case studies,the authors show how biomedicaltechnologies are produced through theagencies of tools and techniques, scientistsand doctors, funding bodies, patients,clients, and the public. Despite sharedconcerns, these essays reveal that theauthors have achieved no consensus aboutthe objectives of their research, and thedeep epistemological divides clearly remain– making for provocative reading.

There are many questions yet to beanswered about how Standard Englishcame into existence. The claim that itdeveloped from a Central Midlands dialectpropagated by clerks in the Chancery, themedieval writing office of the king, is oneexplanation that has dominated textbooksto date. This book reopens the debateabout the origins of Standard English,challenging earlier accounts and revealing afar more complex and intriguing history.An international team of fourteenspecialists offer a wide-ranging analysis,from theoretical discussions of the origin ofdialects, to detailed descriptions of thehistory of individual Standard Englishfeatures.

Language and the InternetDavid Crystal

David Crystal investigates the nature of theimpact which the Internet is making onlanguage. There is already a widespreadpopular mythology that the Internet isgoing to be bad for the future of language– that technospeak will rule, standards belost, and creativity diminished asglobalization imposes sameness. Theargument of this book is the reverse: thatthe Internet is in fact enabling a dramaticexpansion to take place in the range andvariety of language, and is providingunprecedented opportunities for personalcreativity. The Internet has now beenaround long enough for us to ‘take a view’about the way in which it is being shapedby and is shaping language and languages,and there is no-one better placed thanDavid Crystal to take that view.

Language DeathDavid Crystal

The rapid endangerment and death ofmany minority languages across the worldis a matter of widespread concern, not onlyamong linguists and anthropologists butamong all concerned with issues of culturalidentity in an increasingly globalizedculture. By some counts, only 600 of the6000 or so languages in the world are ‘safe’from the threat of extinction. A leadingcommentator and popular writer onlanguage issues, David Crystal asks thefundamental question, ‘Why is languagedeath so important?’, reviews the reasonsfor the current crisis, and investigates whatis being done to reduce its impact. Thebook contains not only intelligentargument, but moving descriptions of thedecline and demise of particular languages,and practical advice for anyone interestedin pursuing the subject further.

The Evolutionary Emergence ofLanguageSocial Function and the Origins of LinguisticFormEdited by Chris KnightUniversity of East LondonMichael Studdert-KennedyHaskins Laboratoriesand James HurfordUniversity of Edinburgh

Language has no counterpart in the animalworld. Unique to Homo sapiens, it appearsinseparable from human nature. But how,when and why did it emerge? Thecontributors to this volume – linguists,anthropologists, cognitive scientists, andothers – adopt a modern Darwinianperspective which offers a bold synthesis ofthe human and natural sciences. As a

feature of human social intelligence,language evolution is driven by biologicallyanomalous levels of social cooperation.Phonetic competence correspondinglyreflects social pressures for vocal imitation,learning, and other forms of socialtransmission. Distinctively human socialand cultural strategies gave rise to thecomplex syntactical structure of speech.This book, presenting language as aremarkable social adaptation, testifies to thegrowing influence of evolutionary thinkingin contemporary linguistics. It will bewelcomed by all those interested in humanevolution, evolutionary psychology,linguistic anthropology, and generallinguistics.

God AbovegroundCatholic Church, Postsocialist State, andTransnational Processes in a Chinese VillageEriberto P. LozadaButler University, Indiana

This ethnographic study of a ChineseCatholic village reveals how the rapidpenetration of transnational processes intothe People’s Republic of China during thepost-Mao period has redefined and creatednew social and cultural structures in ruralcommunities. In examining the resurfacingof a Catholic community in a Hakkavillage in Jiaoling county, Guandong, thebook shows what it means to be part of aglobal and modern rural village. TheHakka are members of a Chinese diasporicgroup that in the past few decades havemobilized international campaigns tostrengthen ethnic solidarity. After survivingcampaigns of persecution in the Maoist era,Catholic villagers incorporated their villagechurch into the state religiousadministrative structure while remainingfaithful to Catholic traditions. Theymanaged this transformation despite amultiplicity of national and transnationalprocesses that might have deterred them.

‘Lozada succeeded in residing in andbecoming a part of this village over aperiod of several years in the mid- to late1990s, and his resulting ethnographicdescriptions are compelling and persuasive.At the same time, he convincingly portraysthe village and its inhabitants within anoverarching framework that balances localidentity with larger national andtransnational processes.’

Strangers in the CityReconfigurations of Space, Power, and SocialNetworks with China’s Floating PopulationLi ZhangUniversity of California, Davis

With rapid commercialization, a boomingurban economy, and the relaxation of statemigration policies, over 100 millionpeasants, known as China’s ‘floatingpopulation’, have streamed into large citiesseeking employment and a better life. Thismassive flow of rural migrants directlychallenges Chinese socialist modes of statecontrol. This book traces the profoundtransformations of space, power relations,and social networks within a mobilepopulation that has broken through theconstraints of the government’s householdregistration system. The author exploresthis important social change through adetailed ethnographic account of the



construction, destruction, and eventualreconstruction of the largest migrantcommunity in Beijing. In revealing thecomplexities and uncertainties of theshifting power and social relations in post-Mao China, this book challenges thecommon notion that sees recent changes asan inevitable move toward liberalcapitalism and democracy.2002 216 x 138 mm 0 8047 4030 5 PaperbackPublication January 2002


Women Traders in Cross-CulturalPerspectiveMediating Identities, Marketing WaresEdited by Linda J. J. SeligmannGeorge Mason University, Virginia

This innovative volume studies women aseconomic, political, and cultural mediatorsof space, gender, value, and language ininformal markets. Drawing on diversemethodologies – multisited fieldwork,linguistic analysis, and archival research –the contributors demonstrate how womenmove between and knit together householdand marketplace activities. Exploring thecultural identities and economic practicesof women traders in ten diverse locales –Bolivia, Ghana, Hungary, India, Indonesia,Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Peru, andthe Philippines – the authors pay specialattention to the effects of global forces,national economic policies, andnongovernmental organizations onwomen’s participation in the market andthe domestic sector. The authors alsoconsider the impact that women’seconomic and political activities have onstate policy, on the attitudes of differentsectors of society toward female traders,and on the dynamics of the market itself. Afinal theme focuses on the culturaldimension of mediation.

‘This book is a diverse yet surprisinglycomprehensive examination of women’sexperiences as traders in differentanthropological settings. The analytictraditions used vary, but what unites theessays is that the authors’ overall concern isto show how gender ideologies andwomen’s market participation interact inways that we have scarcely understood untilnow.’Susan Russell, Northern Illinois University

Between Mecca and BeijingModernization and Consumption AmongUrban Chinese MuslimsMaris Boyd GilletteHaverford College, Pennsylvania

Through a detailed study of the daily life –eating habits, dress styles, housing,marriage and death rituals, religiouspractices, education, family organization –of the Hui inhabitants of Xi’an, MarisBoyd Gillette examines how a communityof urban Chinese Muslims classified by thestate as ‘backward’ use consumption toposition themselves more favorably withinthe Chinese government’s official paradigmfor development. By selectively consuminggoods and adopting fashions they regard asmodern and non-Chinese – which includecommodities and styles from both the Westand the Muslim world – these ChineseMuslims seek to demonstrate that they arecapable of modernizing without theguidance or assistance of the state. In sodoing, they challenge one of thefundamental roles the Chinese Communistgovernment has claimed for itself, that ofguide and purveyor of modernity.

‘For Muslims in China, eating is a politicalact, and this book, the most detailed andcomprehensive study of a Muslimcommunity in China to date, explains why.In a society that views pork and secularismas the norm, to be a Muslim can be achallenging if not impossible endeavor. Thebook shows how a small minority cansurvive and maintain its values in the faceof frequent intolerance by the dominantculture. It also translates the fascinatingdetails of the lives of Chinese Muslims intolarger modern problems facingcommunities across the globe.’

Hunter-GatherersAn Interdisciplinary PerspectiveEdited by Catherine Panter-BrickUniversity of DurhamRobert LaytonUniversity of Durhamand Peter Rowley-ConwyUniversity of Durham

Analyses of the ecology, biology and societyof past and present-day hunter-gatherersare at the core of this interdisciplinaryvolume. Since the seminal work of Man theHunter in 1968, new research in thesethree areas has become increasinglyspecialised, and the lines of communicationbetween academic disciplines have all butbroken down. This volume aims to re-establish an interdisciplinary debate,presenting critical issues commanding anongoing interest in hunter-gathererresearch, covering evolution and history,demography and biology, technology, socialorganisation, art and language of diversegroups. As a reference text, this book willbe useful to scholars and students of socialanthropology, archaeology, biologicalanthropology and human sciences.

Hominoid Evolution and ClimaticChange in EuropePhylogeny of the Neogene HominoidPrimates of EurasiaVolume 2Edited by Louis de BonisUniversité de PoitiersGeorge D. KoufosUniversity of Thessaloniki, Greeceand Peter AndrewsNatural History Museum, London

What is the place of Europe in the originof humankind? Whilst our earliest humanancestors may have come out of Africa,many of our more recent ancestors, andthose of other primates, left their fossilremains in Europe and the Near East.Hominoid primates including Dryopithecusin Spain and Hungary, Oreopithecus in Italyand Ouranopithecus in Greece flourished inthe Miocene, between about 10–7 millionyears ago. This volume examines these andother hominoid fossils found in Eurasiaand discusses what we can learn from themusing biostratigraphic and ecologicalframeworks. In addition, new methods ofanalysing and visualising fossil hominoidsare explored, including CT-based andcomputer-assisted virtual reconstruction offossils to allow three-dimensional images ofexternal and internal morphology of evenfragmentary or distorted fossils. Thisvolume will therefore be invaluable forpractising palaeoanthropologists andpalaeontologists whatever their specialism.2001 228 x 152 mm 376pp 67 line diagrams40 half-tones 37 tables0 521 66075 0 Hardback £60.00Publication April 2001

Second NatureEconomic Origins of Human EvolutionHaim OfekState University of New York, Binghamton

Was exchange an early agent of humanevolution or is it merely an artifact ofmodern civilisation? Spanning two millionyears of human evolution, this bookexplores the impact of economics onhuman evolution and natural history. Thetheory of evolution by natural selection hasalways relied in part on progress in areas ofscience outside biology. By applyingeconomic principles at the borderlines ofbiology, Haim Ofek shows how some ofthe outstanding issues in human evolution,such as the increase in human brain sizeand the expansion of the environmentalniche humans occupied, can be answered.He identifies distinct economic forces atwork, beginning with the transition fromthe feed-as-you-go strategy of primates,through hunter-gathering and thedomestication of fire to the development ofagriculture.

Economics in NatureSocial Dilemmas, Mate Choice and BiologicalMarketsEdited by Ronald NoëUniversité Louis Pasteur, StrasbourgJan A. R. A. M. van HooffUniversiteit Utrecht, The Netherlandsand Peter HammersteinHumboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Since the development of game theory, theanalysis of animal behaviour using thetheories of economics has become agrowing field of biological research inwhich models of games and markets playan important role. Studies of sexualselection, interspecific mutualism andintraspecific cooperation show thatindividuals exchange commodities to theirmutual benefit; the exchange values ofcommodities are a source of conflict, andbehavioural mechanisms such as partnerchoice and contest between competitorsdetermines the composition of tradingpairs or groups. These ‘biological markets’can be examined to gain a betterunderstanding of the underlying principlesof evolutionary ecology. In this volumescientists from different disciplinescombine insights from economics,evolutionary biology and the social sciencesto look at comparative aspects of economicbehaviour in humans and other animals.Aimed primarily at evolutionary biologistsand anthropologists, it will also appeal topsychologists and economists interested inan evolutionary approach.

Biology of PlaguesEvidence from Historical PopulationsSusan ScottUniversity of Liverpooland Christopher J. DuncanUniversity of Liverpool

The threat of unstoppable plagues, such asAIDS and Ebola, is always with us. InEurope, the most devastating plagues werethose from the Black Death pandemic inthe 1300s to the Great Plague of Londonin 1665. For the last 100 years, it has beenaccepted that Yersinia pestis, the infectiveagent of bubonic plague, was responsiblefor these epidemics. This book combinesmodern concepts of epidemiology andmolecular biology with computer-modelling. Applying these to the analysis ofhistorical epidemics, the authors show thatthey were not, in fact, outbreaks ofbubonic plague. Biology of Plagues offers acompletely new interdisciplinaryinterpretation of the plagues of Europe andestablishes them within a geographical,historical and demographic framework.This fascinating detective work will be ofinterest to readers in the social andbiological sciences, and lessons learnt willunderline the implications of historicalplagues for modern-day epidemiology.2001 228 x 152 mm 437pp 121 line diagrams18 tables0 521 80150 8 Hardback £65.00Publication March 2001

Peasants against GlobalizationRural Social Movements in Costa RicaMarc EdelmanHunter College, City University of New York

Costa Rican peasants in the early 1980sfought cutbacks in social programs, andemerge not as unsophisticated rustics but asworldly and outspoken activists. This bookquestions current theories of collective action,development, and ethnographic research,inviting us to come face-to-face withpeasants stubbornly committed to survival.

‘This beautifully written book is of greattheoretical importance for social movementtheory and peasant studies, as well as forunderstanding the impact of neoliberalismin Latin America and the role of grassroots

organizations in development. Edelman’sanalysis of development theory and itscritics is a brilliant contribution, whichmight put an end to some of thenonsensical and even dangerous notionsthat have recently gained the status ofreceived wisdom. He brings to bear theresults of two decades of fieldwork invarious Costa Rican settings, making thebest possible case for the simple idea thattheory is supposed to have at leastsomething to do with empirical reality.’
