The Apostle of Struggle
Howard Thurman, the great 20th-century African American thinker and pastor, has often been characterized as holding an antagonistic view of the Apostle Paul, based primarily on several passages in his most important work, Jesus and the Disinherited (1949). One of those passages describes the anti-Pauline position of his grandmother, a former slave, Nancy Ambrose. In this article we argue that Thurman was, in contrast to his grandmother, oftentime…
The Cambridge History of Ancient Christianity
The first three hundred years of the common era witnessed critical developments that would become foundational for Christianity itself, as well as for the societies and later history that emerged thereafter. The concept of 'ancient Christianity,' however, along with the content that the category represents, has raised much debate. This is, in part, because within this category lie multiple forms of devotion to Jesus Christ, multiple phenomena, an…

An instrument to measure the dental home concept among low-income adults was developed with three domains (accessible-comprehensive, compassionate, and health literate care) that demonstrated good validity and reliability
States of Emergency
In the midst of climate change—a process that is undisputedly traumatic and is perhaps even the greatest trauma—understanding trauma and its effects on our minds and bodies has become more important than ever. Similarly, climate change can be aptly understood as having evolved as a result of traumatic experience—aggression, isolation, addiction. Much of the diagnostic description of the ills facing the world has been likened to mental illness, a …

The Nation‐State Form and the Emergence of ‘Minorities' in Syria
Minorities are specifically modern political groupings: they belong to the era of nation‐states. This article explores the emergence of minorities in Syria under the French mandate. It examines the contradictions caused by French attempts to impose a religious political order within the secular form of the nation‐state, showing how that form created minorities, most of whom cannot simply be mapped onto the millets , or religious communities, of t…
Detached from Their Homeland
Over the past few decades, the homeland concept has received an ever-increasing amount of attention by cultural geographers. While the debate surrounding the necessity and applicability of the concept continues, it is more than apparent that no other geographic term (including culture areas or culture regions) captures the essence of peoples' attachment to place better than homeland. The literature, however, provides few examples of the deep-seat…
Agrarian Transformations
Measuring time allocation, decision-making and agrarian changes affecting rural women
In small?scale research on rural women a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches can serve as a check on the biases inherent in each method. Quantitative data in themselves can rarely explain anything but they have important uses in the foreceful challenging of conventional ideas on rural women and in raising new questions for more detailed study. Examples are given form recent research on the allocation of labour time by men and w…
"Agricultural involution" and its critics
Twenty years have passed since the publication of Clifford Geertz' Agricultural Involution: the Processes of Ecological Change in Indonesia (1963), a work whose basic arguments had already circulated in mimeograph seven years earlier (Geertz 1956a). Initial reactions in the West, from a variety of disciplines, were almost unanimous in praise (Sharma 1964; Wertheim 1964; Heeren 1965; Jaspan 1965; Benda 1966; Johns 1966; Yengoyan 1966; Conklin 1968…

Does Labor Time Decrease With Industrialization? A Survey of Time-Allocation Studies [and Comments and Reply]
Theoretical debate on the evolution of human labor is addressed in this paper. In particular, the direction of change in family labor time from preindustrial food production to postindustrial wage labor is examined through a survey of time-allocation studies. The research is concerned not only with the quantitative results of the studies, but also with their methodological construction, in particular, the ethnographers' definition of labor. Unlik…
Political Aspects of Poverty, Income Distribution and their Measurement
with a rule and a pair of scales, and the multiplication table always in his pocket, Sir, ready to weigh and measure any parcel of human nature, and tell you exactly what it comes to. It is a mere question of figures, a case of simple arithmetic. Mr Gradgrind in Dickens's Hard Times. Research has indicated that in rural areas, the income of the poor has increased faster than that of the rich ... in 1967, 9 out of 10 Indonesians lived below the po…
