‘UK school leavers a dismal failure’: conclusion of a survey of employer opinion on communicative and related skills. Most of the text (unadapted) of a British press release sent to ET in Nov 05 by the Forum of Private Business (FPB), a pressure group formed in 1977 that represents c.25,000 UK-based small and medium businesses (SMEs) employing over half a million people, for which it lobbies in both the United Kingdom and the European Union at la…
Beyond meatspace – or, Geeking out in e-English
AS ELECTRONIC engineers create virtual reality in and through computer software, they are also creating new English words to describe their ongoing technical achievements. While following existing rules of word formation, they are also changing these rules: for example, by making new nouns from prepositions. Their neologisms seem to be driven by humorous responses to electronic requirements of speed, multi-functionality and reversibility. This pa…
The Anthropology of Power
The Anthropology of Power presents case studies from a wide range of societies to examine the issues surrounding power and and to question whether power is actually being transferred to the powerless. This collection draws on ethnographic material from Europe, the Middle East, Australasia, Africa and the Americas exploring how traditionally disempowered groups gain influence in postcolonial and multicultural settings, from civil war to new commun…
Social Anthropology
An introduction to the central concerns of social anthropology, presenting an alternative to standard texts. More concerned with the life-worlds of underdevelopment than the primitive or the exotic, it draws on material which evokes current problems of policy and administration in the Third World. The author raises questions of vital importance to contemporary investigation and analysis, and pointers to the future for anthropology

Citizenship in neo-patrilineal states
>Following independence, many states in Southern Africa have modified their rules of access to citizenship, moving from the territorial model of ius soli (applied during the (late) colonial period by and to white settlers) to the more exclusive, descent‐based model of ius sanguinis, in a specifically patrilineal mode which explicitly rejects bilateral principles. Newly‐independent states in Southern Africa have stressed patrilineality as the basi…

The ideology of 'communal' land tenure in Zimbabwe
Opening ParagraphLand is widely regarded as central to the politics of both colonial and postcolonial Zimbabwe. Land was, ostensibly, the core issue over which the liberation struggle was waged. On the successful redistribution of land, in Shamuyarira's (1984: 8) view, will depend 'the future reputation and credibility of the new socio-economic and political order among the Zimbabwean masses'. Land, then, is 'vital' (ibid.) to both leaders and le…
The Cultural Dimension in West German Development Policy and the Contribution of Ethnology [and Comments and Reply]
Contradictions in modelling 'consciousness
I have long been uneasy about 'consciousness' as a concept in the social sciences. Too often, one person's 'consciousness', especially in the matter of cultural interpretation, is another's 'false consciousness'. In part, my unease derives from my own sceptical reaction to the societal practices with which I grew up in Southern Africa. 'Culture' in Southern Rhodesia was, and maybe in South Africa still is, consciously invoked by whites as a trans…
The Research Relationship
Fighting over property
Opening ParagraphLaw, particularly the law of property, may indeed be an instrument of the ruling class for the reproduction of any given social and economic formation, but few anthropologists have pursued this line of argument. Instead of examining how law was actually generated within particular political and economic contexts, anthropologists concerned with property law in colonial Africa tended to take for granted its existence at a particula…

Cattle and class? Rights to grazing land, family organization and class formation in Msengezi
Opening ParagraphIn studying class formation in rural Africa, many subtleties of this process are initially elusive, even when the process itself appears to be quite straightforward. The elusiveness of reality frequently results, at least in part, from the assumptions made by the researcher. So, for example, in studying one area of freehold tenure in Zimbabwe, in which 'squatting' is officially disapproved and where the land is legally inherited …
Formal and Informal Rights to Land in Zimbabwe's Black Freehold Areas
INTRODUCTIONIn 1930 the Land Apportionment Act created freehold areas exclusively for blacks, known as the 'native purchase areas'. Forty-seven years later these sixty-six separate areas lost their legal identity when the Land Tenure Amendment Act consolidated them, and the formerly 'European' commercial farms, into the 'general area' distinct from the communally held 'Tribal Trust Land'. Today, although the new Government has not yet touched Zim…
