195680729New York: Rand McNally and Co 1956. First Edition. First Printing. Octavo. 22cm. Publisher's pale tan leatherette titled and decorated in black to spine and front board. Dustjacket. 240pp. Light bumping and shelfwear a very good clean copy in a bright dustjacket with some shallow wear and chipping to the edges. Internally clean and bright. A piece of parapsychological ethnography in which Ronald Rose and his wife Lyndon take tests designed to assess psychic abilities in people of European ancestry and attempt to apply them to Australian Aboriginal peoples. It's likely that the purpose and implementation would be seen as flawed by our current metrics despite the fact that the results "compare favorably" for whom and why What are the criteria for success and perhaps more importantly why are we comparing different ethnicities via their potential for psychic abilities but it does contain considerable interesting information on Aboriginal belief systems and has value as an example of Intruder Ethnography.

1961BOOKS003826xxii442 pages with bibliography and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" issued in yellow cloth with brown lettering to spine. Translated from the French by Katherine Woods edited by Arthur Goddard. First American edition.<br /><br />Many arguments have occurred over the centuries since the Spanish marched into the Andean highlands and took over the Incan empire over whether the Incan's were part of an ideal human society or just a group of tyrannical rulers. While the Incan society had created a stable political economic and social system in the Andean world it was far from being an ideal society. On the same note the Incan's were not tyrannical rulers did not exploit their subjects or take away their land for no reason. The truth about the Incan empire lies somewhere between the romanticized views and the views meant to justify the Spanish conquest while it is impossible to classify in modern terms the form of government the Incan's had. Louis Baudin tries to prove that the Incan government was socialistic in nature. Though he argues his point and shows how the Incan empire was in essence socialist in nature it is as Alfred Métraux says unjust to assign any kind of modern European label to a society that evolved separately from the Europeans. Just because it resembles socialism an ideology that was created in 19th century Europe does not mean that it can be labeled. The government of the Incas was created through natural evolution and it cannot be labeled by something that was created in the mind of some European that lived 200 years after the empire was destroyed.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Fore edge page ends soiled.

1999BOOKS003816319 pages with frontispiece figures illustrations plates appendixes and index. Oblong royal octavo 9" x 12" bound in original publisher pictorial wrappers. Appendix b: The Van den Bergh Collection by Edward de Bock. First edition.<br /><br />This study is the result of more than three decades of collaboration in the development of the Moche Archive at the University of California Los Angeles. The Archive contains more than 160000 photographs of Moche objects in museums and private collections throughout the world was created to facilitate the study of Moche civilization through a systematic analysis of what is depicted in Moche art. When this study began it concentrated on ceramic sculptures of plants animals people and objects. It became clear that fineline painted vessels were much more informative because they often portrayed objects in context and depict activities in which two or more figures participate. In drawing an analogy from Christian art an attempt to reconstruct the Nativity by studying individual sculptures of the Christ child Mary or the wise men would be fruitless until one had seen the entire nativity with figures animals stable and star portrayed together. It was the fineline painting of the Moche that provided the key to interpreting their art.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />A Near fine copy.<br /> UCLA Fowler Museum Press paperback

1957A0515xiv358 pages with plates figures and index. Octavo 8 1/2" x 5 3/4" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original jacket. From the library of professor George M Foster. Second edition.<br /><br />The Tallensi are a tribe of the Frafra people of northern Ghana numbering a few tens of thousands. They speak <i>Talni</i> a dialect of the Frafra language and maintain an agricultural mode of subsistence. The Tallensi homeland is covered by the Tallensi Traditional Area and consists mainly of open savanna.<br /><br />Meyer Fortes was a South African-born anthropologist best known for his work among the Tallensi and Ashanti in Ghana. Originally trained in psychology Fortes employed the notion of the "person" into his structural-functional analyzes of kinship the family and ancestor worship setting a standard for studies on African social organization. His famous book <i>Oedipus and Job in West African Religion</i> 1959 fused his two interests and set a standard for comparative ethnology. He also wrote extensively on issues of the first born kingship and divination. Fortes received his anthropological training from Charles Gabriel Seligman at the London School of Economics. Fortes also trained with Bronislaw Malinowski and Raymond Firth. Along with contemporaries A. R. Radcliffe-Brown Sir Edmund Leach Audrey Richards and Lucy Mair Fortes held strong functionalist views that insisted upon empirical evidence in order to generate analyzes of society. His volume with E. E. Evans-Pritchard <i>African Political Systems</i> 1940 established the principles of segmentation and balanced opposition which were to become the hallmarks of African political anthropology. Despite his work in Francophone West Africa Fortes' work on political systems was influential to other British anthropologists especially Max Gluckman and played a role in shaping what became known as the Manchester school of social anthropology which emphasized the problems of working in colonial Central Africa.<br /><br />George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics including acculturation long-term fieldwork peasant economies pottery making public health social structure symbolic systems technological change theories of illness and wellness humoral medicine in Latin America and worldview. The quantity quality and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976.

1968A0566420 pages with six maps some folding seventeen tables some folding five diagrams appendices glossary bibliography and index. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/4" bound in orange with black lettering to spine. Inscribed by Nutini to Professor George M Foster. First edition. A significant contribution to the field of Mesoamerian studies this investigation of the kinship system of a community of Tlaxcalan Indians in the Central Mexican Highlands presents a structural-functional analysis of marriage and the family. The inhabitants of San Bernardino Contla are Nahuatl-speaking Indians descended from the Chichimec tribes that in pre-Conquest times inhabited the area roughly coinciding with the present state of Tlaxcala. Here many of the early Colonial Indian institutions have survived with a continuity that is not found in any comparable area in the New World. In analyzing the institutions of marriage and the family Dr Nutini emphasizes the social structure and religious aspects of San Bernardino Contla and he also describes the territorial and political organization of the municipio. He places the structure of marriage and the fanily in San Bernardino Contla within the context of Mesoamerican marriage and family structure indicating possible ways by which this neglected field to anthropological inquiry may be improved.
