Reflections On Jozef Obrebski’S Work In Macedonia From The Perspective Of American Anthropology, Joel Halpern Jan 2003

Reflections On Jozef Obrebski’S Work In Macedonia From The Perspective Of American Anthropology, Joel Halpern

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

This article deals with the difficulties encountered by Jozef Obrebski when he immigrated from Poland after World War II. He went first to England where he gave a series of lectures at Oxford University. Then he went to Jamaica under a contract sponsored by the British Colonial Office. Subsequently he moved to New York City where he obtained a job working at the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations. He ended his career at C .W. Post College, a small undergraduate institution near New York City. This article documents how he failed to make a career in the United States. …


Reflection Of Jozef Obrebski’S Work In Macedonia From The Perspective Of American Anthropology, Joel Halpern Sep 2002

Reflection Of Jozef Obrebski’S Work In Macedonia From The Perspective Of American Anthropology, Joel Halpern

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

Jozef Obrebski (1905-1967) had a moderately long, interesting, and, in some respects, tragic life. The consequences of the Second World War and the subsequent Communist domination of Eastern Europe altered his life profoundly. While he and his immediate family escaped relatively unscathed and even his relatively voluminous scholarly documents were preserved he was never able to successfully readapt to the life he chose first in the lands of the then British Empire and finally in America. It would indeed be a limited approach to judge a person's life simply by their public record, in this case by a published output. …


Connections On Death, Destruction And The Future - An American Perspective On The Former Yugoslavia, Joel Halpern Dec 1995

Connections On Death, Destruction And The Future - An American Perspective On The Former Yugoslavia, Joel Halpern

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

In making connections to explain and evaluate the causes and consequences of violence in the former Yugoslavia it seems useful to explore varying temporal perceptions and the relative uses of power. These alternate perspectives range from the highly political linear time bound year frame of American intervention as presented to the U. S. Congress by the Clinton Administration to the unbounded liminal temporal categories of the combatants linked to medieval battles and ancestral graves. In proceeding to evaluate these categories and examine their impact on current historical process I feel it is first necessary to examine our points of departure.


Introduction Of "War Among The Yugoslavs" (Special Issue), Joel Halpern Jan 1993

Introduction Of "War Among The Yugoslavs" (Special Issue), Joel Halpern

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

This issue presents American and West European anthropological perspectives on recent events prior to the outbreak of war in former Yugoslavia. Included are articles by anthropologists from Croatia and Serbia which deal directly with the war and its impact on their respective societies. The first group of essays should be understood as background to armed struggle involving violent death, destruction, and bereavement and those tragedies still in the making. The horrors associated with these events in this Balkan setting are unparalleled in Europe since World War Two. They do not have precise parallels elsewhere but bring to mind the sufferings …


Professional And Personal Perspectives On Long Term Research In Serbia [Yugoslavia], Joel Halpern, Barbara Kerewsky-Halpern Apr 1992

Professional And Personal Perspectives On Long Term Research In Serbia [Yugoslavia], Joel Halpern, Barbara Kerewsky-Halpern

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

On the leveI of personal relationships, there is, perhaps, no need to pose the question that is the title of this paper. The long and ongoing research experience has been tremendously enriching for the investigators and our now adult children, who first arrived in the viIlage as toddlers and infant. From what our vilIage friends convey, satisfactions with this enduring relationship have been a two-way process. But beyond personal affect, what is the intellectual value of long-term study of a single community?

Over thirty years ago the opportunity to document European village Life, in this case a village in Serbia, …

Beginning A Career: A Bronx Autobiography, Joel Halpern Apr 1990

Beginning A Career: A Bronx Autobiography, Joel Halpern

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

This article begins where the initial account, "The pulley, A Memoir of a Bronx Industry," ends. In some ways my father paints an idealized picture. His eagerness and dedication seem somewhat out of place in today's world, but many aspects of the world he describes are still familiar to an older generation although contexts have drastically changed.

Just as neighbourhoods provided a setting for the interaction of different religious and ethnic groups, so too did the place of employment. Successful neighborhodds have had a sense of community of shared spirit, about them. The same was true for successful industrial enterprises.

Individual Life Cycles And Family Cycles. A Comparison Of Perspectives In Yugoslavia, Joel Halpern

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

This paper seeks to relate changing individual life cycles to changing cycles of family development. My data refer specifically to Yugoslavia (although it is hoped that some of the points made will have more general applicability). Within Yugoslavia primary reference is to a village in central Serbia which I have studied intermittently over the past twenty years, but comparative data will be presented from other regions as well.

Peasant Society: Economic Changes And Revolutionary Transformation [Yugoslavia], Joel Halpern, John Brode

Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery

This is the fourth in the series of articles on peasants in the Biennial Review (see also 150, 137, 10). It places particular stress on publications that tend to generalize and synthesize. A main emphasis is to see peasant studies from the viewpoint of other disciplines, as well as from the perspective of the societal context in which American anthropology itself exists. Specific geographical areas are dealt with in concluding summaries.
