The purpose of this report is to recognize and highlight the contributions of African Americans to the military history of the United States. This is accomplished by providing a historic context on the African American military experience for use by Department of Defense (DoD) cultural resource managers. Managers can use this historic context, to recognize significant sites, buildings, and objects on DoD property related to African American military history by nominating them for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. In this manner, civilian and military personnel currently serving in all major services will be made aware of the …

La Vida Online: The Parallel Public Sphere Of Facebook As Used By Colombian Immigrant Women In Atlanta, Michaelanne Dye
La Vida Online: The Parallel Public Sphere Of Facebook As Used By Colombian Immigrant Women In Atlanta, Michaelanne Dye
Michaelanne M Dye
This thesis examines how Colombian women within the city of Atlanta utilize Facebook as a parallel public sphere, a cultural phenomenon through which the silenced use mediums of popular culture to discuss private and public dilemmas (Dewey 2009). Through ethnographic research in Atlanta, I analyze how these young women use Facebook as they negotiate their identity through the multiple contexts of their everyday lives. Drawing from feminist critiques, I explore whether Facebook provides an alternative to the traditional public sphere, while also investigating how power structures influence freedom of expression online. Through an international network of friends, these women tackle …

The Huli Response To Illness / Book Review, Terence Hays
The Huli Response To Illness / Book Review, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
What diseases afRict the Huli people of the Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea? How are these conceptualized by them as illness experiences? How do their behavioral responses, including the utilization of both traditional and Western health services, flow from and affect these conceptualizations? And how are these processes grounded in the broader ecological, historical, social, and cultural contexts within which individual Huli make their decisions regarding illness?
Ndumba Folk Biology And General Principles Of Ethnobotanical Classification And Nomenclature, Terence Hays
Ndumba Folk Biology And General Principles Of Ethnobotanical Classification And Nomenclature, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
Brent Berlin's proposed "general principles of classification and nomenclature" are examined as they apply to folk biology in Ndumba, a Papua New Guinea hzghlands society. Focusing on Ndumba folk zoology, supplemented with a previous analysis of their folk botany, Berlin's analytical schema for ethnobiological classification is supported, but principles of nomenclature in ethnobiology appear to be in need of reconsideration.
"The New Guinea Highlands" Region, Culture Area, Or Fuzzy Set?, Terence Hays
"The New Guinea Highlands" Region, Culture Area, Or Fuzzy Set?, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
The criteria for delineating "the New Guinea Highlands," a fundamental category in Melanesian anthropology, are variable, vague, and inconsistently applied, with the result that there is little clarity or agreement with regard to its characteristics and its membership. So far as the literature is concerned, "the New Guinea Highlands" is a fuzzy set. The common resort to notions of "cores," "margins," or "fringes" is an attempt to preserve an essentialist approach but inevitably leads to the same confusion. The continued use of "the Highlands" as an analytic or theoretical construct carries the costs of misleadingly implied homogeneity, with marginalization of …
Failure Of Treatment / Book Review, Terence Hays
Failure Of Treatment / Book Review, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
This is an extraordinary book, and one that I believe is unique in the literature of medical anthropology. Inspired by Victor Turner's "social drama, the extended case method" (p. 3), Gilbert Lewis presents "the ethnography of an illness" (p. 1), a detailed—sometimes day-by-day—account of a protracted illness suffered by Dauwaras, a Gnau-speaking man of the upper Sepik River in Papua New Guinea.
Language And Cultural Description, Terence Hays
Language And Cultural Description, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
Beginning in the late 1950s, Charles Frake was among those (including Harold Conklin and Ward Goodenough) who founded the blend of cognitive psychology, descriptive linguistics, and cultural anthropology which came to be known as “the New Ethnography” or “cognitive anthropology.”
Exchanging The Past, Terence Hays
Exchanging The Past, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
In 1980-1982, Bruce Knauft and Eileen Cantrell conducted fieldwork among the Gebusi people of the remote Nomad region of Western Province, Papua New Guinea. Then, "indigenous customs seemed robust as well as profound" (p.13), including one of the highest homocide rates in the world, rooted sorcery accusations derived from spirit medium seances.
Tzeltal Folk Zoology, Terence Hays
Tzeltal Folk Zoology, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
In some respects, this volume might be viewed as a companion piece to Berlin et al.’s Principles of Tzeltal Plant Classification. It deals with the same people of highland Chiapas, Mexico, and an earlier version was Hunn’s doctoral thesis, supervised by Berlin. Nevertheless, it can also clearly stand on its own as a significant contribution to ethnology, with additional relevance to biosystematists, ecologists, linguists, and psychologists.

Sterling Robbins was one of four ethnographers who conducted fieldwork in the early 1960s as part of James B. Watson’s New Guinea Micro-evolution Project. As such he was unavoidably caught in the turmoil over how to deal with the “loose structure” of New Guinea highland societies.
Classifications In Their Social Context / Book Review, Terence Hays
Classifications In Their Social Context / Book Review, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
Since Durkheim and Mauss, the study of folk classification has developed along two main lines: the predominantly British and French "soocial constructionist" tradition, and the largely American "ethnoscience" approach, to use Roy Ellen's designations (p. 4). Ellen is referring to the continuing contrast in the anthropological literature between analyses of folk classification systems which view them as primarily reflecting structural, sociological, cosmological, or symbolic concerns, and those which concentrate on the more mundane orderings of nature which employ perceptual (usually morphological) criteria.
Growth And Structure Of The Lexicon Of New Guinea Pidgin / Book Review, Terence Hays
Growth And Structure Of The Lexicon Of New Guinea Pidgin / Book Review, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
New Guinea Pidgin (NGP) is the language of politics and the most widely used lingua franca in Papua New Guinea. It may also provide a crucial test case for theories of pidgin and creole languages and, more broadly, "for statements about the relationship between the internal and external history of language and that between linguistic variation and social stratification."
Grand Valley Dani, Terence Hays
Grand Valley Dani, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
The Dani must by now be the most familiar of all New Guinea Highlands peoples to anthropologists and students alike. Through Robert Gardner_s evocative film, Dead Birds, Peter Matthiessen_s novelistic, Under the Mountain Wall, and Karl Heider_s numerous scholarly papers, books, and films, they have been portrayed in various ways, always fascinating and ever eluding our complete understanding.

Fair Trade And Fair Trade Certification Of Food And Agricultural Commodities: Promises, Pitfalls, And Possibilities, Sarasij Majumder
Fair Trade And Fair Trade Certification Of Food And Agricultural Commodities: Promises, Pitfalls, And Possibilities, Sarasij Majumder
Sarasij Majumder
The global circulation of food and agricultural commodities is increasingly influenced by the ethical choices of Western consumers and activists who want to see a socially and environmentally sustainable trade regime in place. These desires have culminated in the formation of an elaborate system of rules, which govern the physical and social conditions of food production and circulation, reflected in transnational ethical regimes such as fair trade. Fair trade operates through certifying producer communities with sustainable production methods and socially just production relationships. By examining interdisciplinary academic engagements with fair trade, we argue that fair trade certification is a transnational …
Vistas In Common: Sharing Stories About Heritage Landscapes, Angela Labrador
Vistas In Common: Sharing Stories About Heritage Landscapes, Angela Labrador
Angela M Labrador
Rural communities in the United States have faced mounting pressure to develop their local economies in ways that threaten their historic agrarian landscapes and cultural practices. However, these communities are often wary of, if not hostile to, top–down approaches to historic preservation and landscape conservation. Community-engaged heritage protection strategies shift the focus from managing cultural and natural heritage as discrete resources to envisioning heritage and its protection as a form of community development. This paper presents a case study from rural New England in which the intergenerational sharing of narratives about heritage landscapes moves beyond simply commemorating the past, to …
