Contested Environmentalisms
China’s Modern Ecological History
Stevan Harrell’s systems approach contributes a revelatory metaphor for our understanding of modern Chinese ecological history, upending traditional periodization and geographic conventions. There are risks to this approach, however, in that we lose some of the centrality of the state as an environmental actor. By moving the analysis up a level of abstraction as Harrell does, we risk depoliticizing the environmental history of the Mao Zedong year…

La entrevista como abordaje etnográfico en educación
El presente artículo busca acercar algunas reflexiones en torno a las entrevistas como metodología de investigación en etnografía de la educación, sobre todo al tratar temas históricos de los que no se puede hacer observación directa. Se trabajará en base a la experiencia de campo realizada para una investigación acerca de los sentidos construidos por estudiantes universitarios frente a la reforma de la educación superior argentina en la década d…
Mao's war against nature
Most environmental problems have roots in human relationships and are ultimately social, political, and cultural. Maoist China is an extreme example of human interference in the natural world during an era in which human relationships were unusually distorted. The period provides a transparent illustration of the relationship between human exploitation and environmental degradation, exemplifying the tragedy of this interface under extreme conditi…

The River Runs Black
The River Runs Black: The Environmental Challenge to China's Future. By Elizabeth C. Economy. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2004. 368p. $29.95. Most people are aware of China's severe environmental problems. The country's cities are among the world's most polluted; one of the major rivers sometimes fails to run to the sea; the desert is now only a few hours' drive from Beijing. China's falling water tables, transnational ecological impact…
Mao's War against Nature
Judith Shapiro, in clear and compelling prose, relates the great, untold story of the devastating impact of Chinese politics on China's environment during the Mao years. Maoist China provides an example of extreme human interference in the natural world in an era in which human relationships were also unusually distorted. Under Mao, the traditional Chinese ideal of 'harmony between heaven and humans' was abrogated in favor of Mao's insistence tha…
Mao's War Against Nature
This article, adapted from the author's new book, Mao's War Against Nature: Politics and the Environment in Revolutionary China (Cambridge University Press, 2001), argues that Mao and the Chinese Communist Party's “war” to bend the physical world to human will often had disastrous consequences both for human beings and the natural environment. The Chinese ideal of “harmony between heaven and humans” was abrogated in favor of Mao's insistence that…

From Tupã to the land without evil
Throughout history, missionaries have appropriated items from the cultural repertoires of the missionized in the interests of spreading Christianity among culturally diverse peoples. Missionaries in eastern South America during the early colonial period translated the Christian message into terms taken from the cosmology of the Tupi-Guarani peoples. Recent cultural borrowings by progressive missionaries, however-notably their use of the Tupi-Guar…

Women in infornation technology engineering-aspects of the bitish experience
A comparison of British and American data, relevant to the participation of women in electrical engineering and related fields, reveals interesting contrasts and suggests that flexibility of educational and career opportunity is a key factor in maximizing female entrance to these areas. Aspects of the British experience are discussed and some current initiatives to overcome the low participation rate of women in the information technology profess…

Ideologies of Catholic Missionary Practice in a Postcolonial Era
In recent years, a number of anthropologists have come to recognize that missionaries, who play a central role in many of the social systems that anthropologists study, have yet to receive the ethnographic and theoretical attention they deserve. Often, when anthropologists discussed missionaries at all, they treated them as part of the setting, much like rainfall and elevation: matters one felt obliged to mention, but peripheral to the real objec…
