  • Horizons of Anthropology

    Leslie G Freeman, Sol TaxBOOKHorizons of Anthropology2017Citada por: 2

  • Fieldwork

    Peggy Sullivan, R Redfield et al.ARTICLEMan1993

    Between 1934 and 1941, Robert Redfield and Sol Tax developed lines of research that anticipated and guided anthropological investigations of people living in peasant and urban communities. In their work on the urban/rural continuum, ethnic relations, the regional analysis of indigenous economic systems, world view and social change, Redfield and Tax supplied many of the empirical themes and theoretical directions that ethnographers subsequently e…

  • The Impact of Urbanization on American Indians

    Open AccessSol TaxARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1978Citada por: 2

    Native Americans are among the few peoples who maintain kinship and sharing cultures which contrast greatly with our large, economically oriented, individualized, impersonal, urbanizing society. Purely material requirements lead to rapidly increasing involvements. The question is "with what effect?" This paper suggests that Indians some how frustrate attempts even to research the question by meth ods which suit the impersonal society. Answers wil…

  • An Anthropological Approach to the Study of the Economic Value of Children in Java and Nepal [and Comments and Reply]

    Moni Nag, Robert Peet et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1978Citada por: 77Referencias: 3

    This paper seeks to test the assumption of the microeconomic theory of fertility that the economic value of children is a factor influencing fertility behavior of parents in peasant societies. On the basis of anthropological investigation in one village in Java and one in Nepal, the average amount of time spent by children in different types of activities-both household-maintenance and directly productive-is estimated directly. The support provid…

  • Issues in the Ethics of Research Method

    Simeon W Chilungu, J A Barnes et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1976Citada por: 11Referencias: 16

    There is a pattern of elements within the Anglo-American structure of thinking and reasoning which affects methods of data collection, data analysis, and systems of information dispersion with respect to studies of non-Western cultures. An argument is built in this paper which maintains that: (1) These same elements hinder some Anglo-American anthropologists from studying their own cultures. They form a pattern which begins with the selection of …

  • The Bow and the Hoe

    Sol TaxARTICLECurrent Anthropology1975Citada por: 8

    Although we anthropologists offer a whole-species perspective on social problems, and would like our lessons to be used, until recently our numbers have been too small to permit substantial contributions beyond the academic. Increasing numbers-and increasing threats to the well-being of mankind-provide opportunities for changes in our professional outlook. A point of departure is the continuing presence, in the industrializing world, of both agri…
