Chapter 1. Up the Anthropologist
Contrarian Anthropology
Analyzing the workings of boundary maintenance in the areas of anthropology, energy, gender, and law, Nader contrasts dominant trends in academia with work that pushes the boundaries of acceptable methods and theories. Although the selections illustrate the history of one anthropologist’s work over half a century, the wider intent is to label a field as contrarian to reveal unwritten rules that sometimes hinder transformative thinking and to stim…
Para cima, Antropólogos
Neste ensaio, descreverei algumas das oportunidades que os antropólogos têm de "estudar os de cima" (studying up) em sua própria sociedade, na expectativa de fomentar mais discussões sobre o porquê estudamos o que estudamos (NADER, 1964). Os antropólogos têm uma grande contribuição para a nossa compreensão dos processos pelos quais o poder e a responsabilidade são exercidos nos Estados Unidos. Além disso, há uma certa urgência para esse tipo de a…

The Crown, the Colonists, and the Course of Zapotec
Early in the twentieth century, much of ethnographic analysis in anthropology was dominated by structural-functionalism. Such studies were often ahistorical, generally focused on artificially bounded commu nities, and tended to use the equilibrium or harmony model to describe social relations. In the ethnography of law, the longitudinal method was rarely used. In fact, Llewelyn and Hoebel (1941), who might or might not be considered structural-fu…
Us Presidential Elections
Anthropology of law, fear, and the War on Terror
Since 9/11, the US government has arrested hundreds of people, mainly American Muslims and Middle Easterners. Such arrests grow out of control and accusations become the same as guilt. Mob mentality becomes a state of mind, a sociopolitical phenomenon that periodically erupts, fuelled by right-wing Christian religious extremists and frequent malicious government prosecutions. A key characteristic of interest to anthropologists who study law is th…

Ethnography as theory
Ethnography is never mere description, rather it is a theory of describing that has always been controversial as to the what and how thus inspiring a dynamic intellectual process. The process has been methodologically eclectic and innovative, governed by both consensual and outdated rules. Throughout more than hundred years of Anglo-American ethnography, observation has been combined with a wide variety of theoretical outlooks from structured-fun…
On Nature and the Human
A major contribution of anthropological work has been to challenge a unitary theory of the human. In thisAmerican Anthropologistvital topics forum, a range of prominent anthropologists contribute to this challenge and provide musings on the human. The essays in this forum reflect diversity and unity of anthropological thought on human nature. Some note humans' connection to other primates, and others emphasize our distinction from ancestral patte…

Homo Sapiens and the Longue Durée
This essay connects anthropology with the spirit and substance of André Gunder Frank's world history project, emphasizing the need to integrate efforts to understand global colonization by homo sapiens with the expansion of powerful complex societies, sometimes called empires. It also pursues Frank's ‘hegemonic truncation in the world system’ by comparing structural similarities of the Mongols and the Europeans. Backwards history, as Frank and ot…
Sidney W. Mintz Lecture for 1995
Ideas about culture are interwoven with notions of control and the dynamics of power. To show how controlling processes work to construct and institutionalize culture, I examine three ethnographic examples of different types of control‐‐‐(1) moving people to see harmony rather than justice as desirable, (2) inducing women to undergo body‐altering surgery under the illusion of free choice, and (3) dismissing the context of scientific work by empha…

The Anthropological Study of Law1
Anthropology! Distinguished Lecture-2000
The transformation of anthropology in the twenty-first century can be seen in new mixes between anthropology's subfields and between anthropology and our publics interested in theory, research, and the practical. For most of the twentieth century anthropology was marked by increasing specialization. Now there is a reassembling that is more inclusive of all humankind. There is a reconnection of the particular and the universal, the local and the g…

The Harder Path--Shifting Gears
Introduction This essay deals with old science practices and the development of innovative practices that are a mixture of theory, research, and practicality. Americans have an extraordinary record in starting up projects, but they have trouble shifting gears. Some say we have created a world where everything changes, but nothing moves. Professional mind-sets, crises, incremental change, and leapfrogging are part of the story. So too is culture-s…
Conflict Resolution in Two Mexican Communities1
Current Illusions and Delusions about Conflict Management-In Africa and Elsewhere
This paper provides a critical perspective on the use of U. S. alternative dispute resolution (ADR) approaches for managing conflict in African and other communities. It argues that imposition of American ADR as a condition for foreign aid or capital investment is deeply problematic, and urges a more sophisticated analysis of the power dimensions and ideological basis of ADR. When viewed as an ideologically laden paradigm for how conflict should …

Forums for Justice
There are persons in all human societies who have problems of debt, of theft, of infidelity, of employment, of falsification, of property. Some of these people seek to do something about their problems and in so doing use and even create forums for justice. Depending on their choice and use of forums, they may resolve the original problem or may cause it to escalate. Problems in achieving just solutions result from the dilemmas of legal pluralism…

Breaking the Silence-Politics and Professional Autonomy
Introduction Sometimes it's useful to look back in order to move forward. The response of anthropologists to the Gulf War raised questions about violence and professional autonomy, about whether anthropology was unencumbered enough to contribute to the reduction of violence by breaking the silence about the Arab World, much as we did for Vietnam. My question then had to do with professional responsibility. Does anthropology only reflect dominant …
Paradigm Busting and Vertical Linkage
Communication Between Village and City in the Modern Middle East
Much of the information one group has about another is acquired in the oral and written traditions by means of stereotypic images. As communication increases between two groups or two individuals, the stereotype becomes more detailed, more refined. But before we have an increase in information via various direct communication channels, these stereotypes may, indeed, be crude, carrying whole truths, half truths, and no truths
