  • Methodology in Macro-Micro Studies

    Pertti J Pelto, Billie R DewaltCHAPTERMicro and Macro Levels of…2019

    This chapter suggests that some methodological approaches for anthropological work on microlevel/macrolevel relationships. It discusses the necessity of paying greater attention to the rubrics of linkage, the rules for studying and demonstrating articulation of different levels in terms of space, time and causality. Growing interest in the study of microlevel/macrolevel linkages calls for the development of suitable methodologies to guide empiric…

  • Participant Observation

    Kathleen M Dewalt, Billie R DewaltBOOKParticipant Observation2010

    Participant observation is the foundation of ethnographic research design and supports and complements other types of qualitative and quantitative data collection. Qualitative research in such diverse areas as anthropology, sociology, education, medicine draws on the insights gained through the use of participant observation. The authors have written a guide to the collection of systematic data in naturalistic settings - communities in many diffe…

  • Household Welfare in Four Rural Mexican Communities

    Sarah Hamilton, Billie R Dewalt et al.ARTICLEMexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos2003Citada por: 8Referencias: 10

    During the past two decades, national economic and political crises have threatened livelihoods and localities in rural Mexico. However, household-level data from agrarian reform communities studied in 1984 and 1996 show substantial improvement in standards of living. Increased remittance flows provided liquidity for investment in local production as well as household consumption. Increased labor force participation by women and community activis…

  • Using Indigenous Knowledge to Improve Agriculture and Natural Resource Management

    Billie Dewalt, Billie R DewaltARTICLEHuman Organization1994

    Scientific knowledge systems have received increasing criticism within the social science literature while indigenous knowledge systems are often over-optimistically presented as viable alternative ways of knowing. This paper argues that we need to search for more effective and creative interactions between indigenous knowledge and scientific knowledge systems. I discuss the strengths and the weaknesses of both scientific and indigenous knowledge…

  • Diet and nutritional status among cassava producing agriculturalists of coastal Ecuador

    W R Leonard, Kathleen M Dewalt et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1994

    This paper investigates the correlates of dietary consumption and nutritional status among a sample of 43 cassava producing households of coastal Ecuador. Household energy consumption in the sample is marginally adequate and is substantially higher than that observed among coffee producing farmers from the same region (2459 vs. 1851 kcal/day). Cassava producing farmers also derive a much larger share of their diet from home produced foods (34% vs…

  • Ecological correlates of dietary consumption and nutritional status in highland and coastal Ecuador

    W R Leonard, Kathleen M Dewalt et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1993

    This paper investigates the patterns of variation in food availability and nutritional status among small‐scale farmers from highland and coastal regions of Ecuador. Dietary adequacy is greater among households of the highland sample and appears to be associated with higher consumption of foods from subsistence production. Energy consumption is marginal in the coastal sample where farmers are involved in the production of coffee as a cash crop. H…

  • Sorghum and the Mexican Food Crisis

    Open AccessD Barkin, Billie R DewaltARTICLELatin American Research Review1988Citada por: 8Referencias: 18

    Mexico achieved food self-sufficiency and raised rural living standards in the thirty years prior to the mid-sixties, yet the country is now plagued by a profound agricultural crisis that is manifesting itself in serious natural resource disequilibria, unemployment and underemployment, and inadequate food production. This seemingly contradictory outcome has resulted from an agricultural growth strategy that reoriented production toward agroexport…

  • Halfway There

    Billie Dewalt, Billie R DewaltARTICLEHuman Organization1988Citada por: 5Referencias: 13

    This paper argues that the social sciences have begun to make significant contributions to the implementation of agricultural development programs. In most cases, however, the social sciences are being utilized in agricultural development-providing descriptive information to facilitate the identification, diffusion, and adoption of new technology created by biological agricultural scientists. It is my contention that real progress in the improvem…

    Se ha argumentado que, habiendo realizado una Revolución Verde, México ahora se encuentra desesperadamente con la necesidad de tener otra para resolver su crisis agrícola. Este ensayo sostiene que México ya ha realizado una segunda Revolución Verde la cual ha tenido efectos más profundos que la primera. Las fuerzas que han conducido a esta segunda Revolución Verde en sorgo y artículos asociados de consumo para el pastoreo son las causas de y no l…
