Some Contours of Social Class in a Southern Mexican Town
The contours of social class in the Hispanic and Mestizo communities of contemporary Mexico have been little studied by anthropologists compared to the relatively large corpus of anthropological work on social stratification in Spain. Many anthropologists have published books that describe certain aspects of social stratification in Spanish communities (e.g., Aceves 1971; Aguilera 1978; Barrett 1974; Brandes 1975; Christian 1972; Douglas 1969; Fr…

On the Symbolic Meaning of Percussion in Zinacanteco Ritual
Percussion plays a major role in many rituals of the Maya Indians of Zinacantan. In order to explain the symbolic meaning held by ritualistic percussive sounds, six major types of percussion are examined. While Needham's hypothesis of a universal link between percussion and transition in social life is valuable and appears to be substantiated in Zinacanteco rites, percussion has other symbolic associations as well. Percussive sounds convey numero…

Speaking wisely and provocatively about the political economy of race, Glenn Loury has become one of our most prominent black intellectuals - and, because of his challenges to the orthodoxies of both left and right, one of the most controversial. A major statement of a position developed over the 1990s, this book both epitomizes and explains Loury's understanding of the depressed conditions of so much of black society today - and the origins, con…

Ancient Maya and Contemporary Tzotzil Cosmology
Recent ethnographic work among the Tzotzil Indians in Highland Chiapas has revealed the presence of cosmological concepts and patterns of behavior that may have an important historical relationship to the ancient Lowland Maya. While these data offer exciting possibilities for inferences concerning the ancient Maya, we need to proceed with caution and to take account of a number of critical methodological problems before we project these patterns …

By value-orientations are understood those views of the world, often implicitly held, which define the meaning of human or the life situation of man and thereby provide the context in which day-to-day problems are solved.'

Folklore
Swiss Pile-dwellings
For about a century it has been assumed that during the Neolithic and part of the Bronze Age the inhabitants of what is now Switzerland built pile-dwellings on the lakes. This interpretation of the finds was put forward, as is well known, by Dr F. Keller, who did so much for Swiss prehistory. His theory was based upon a comparison of the very scanty remains of prehistoric buildings in Switzerland with pile-dwellings that are to be seen today in m…
