The City in Modern Africa
Urbanization and Social Change in Africa [and Comments and Reply]
In recent years anthropologists have been taking an increasing interest in the process of urbanization in Africa, usually seen as an aspect of the wider issue of social and/or cultural change. As individual studies accumulate, we need to develop a framework within which to examine the variables that shape the structure of social relations in modern African towns and cities. Three main determinants of urban social structure are isolated and analyz…

Culture Change Under Pressure
Programs of technical assistance and community development create culture contact conditions which are particularly well suited to the study of change. The contact situation is narrowly delimited and it is easier to identify the agents of change, the pressures for change and the results of the contact. The study here reported in preliminary fashion is an attempt to capitalize on such a research situation in northern Nigeria. Here, among the Hausa…
Researchmanship
The problem of how to increase research productivity has taken on international proportions. The most immediate effects of Sputnik I on the training of scientists in America was, of course, in mathematics and the physical sciences. It is perfectly clear, however, that even the cold war is a total war and that the social sciences will be increasingly called upon to share in the responsibility of meeting the Soviet threat. If we are to do our part,…

The Importance of Textiles in the Archaeology of the Eastern United States
Evidences of prehistoric textiles are sporadically encountered in the course of archaeological investigations in the Mississippi drainage area. Because of their paucity, they have been given little or no place in the consideration of the archaeological problems of this region. Distinctions in weaving techniques have already proven of value in indicating the cultural connections of ethnic groups. Enough scattered textile materials have been accumu…

A New Epoch in Rural Quebec
The rural French-Canadian community of St. Denis, studied intensively in 1936-37, was revisited during 1949. Social change was analyzed with a view to establishing the trnds in rural Quebec and in order to test hypotheses based on the previous study. It was found that the one largely self-sufficient community had moved toward greater interdependence with the outside world, most markedly in production and communication technology. Demographic chan…

Changes in Rural French-Canadian Culture
French-Canadian culture is losing its folk nature even in the rural regions. The culture shift is toward urbanization and anglicization. The change is evidenced in an altered economy-a shift from practical economic independence to dependence upon the factories and markets of Canada and the United States. The culture context of English words borrowed by the French indicates the greatest diffusion to be of technical and mechanical items, clothing, …

The French-Canadian Family Cycle
T HE French-Canadian farmer of Quebec has maintained to a striking degree the family structure which became stabilized in New France two centuries ago. In the industrial centers, and even in large rural towns, there has been some alteration of the system in response to new types of economy. In this discussion, we shall be concerned with the family system in the agricultural parishes and such structural changes as have occurred even in these most …
