Honduras
Hurricane Mitch, the most deadly hurricane to strike the Western Hemisphere in two centuries, killed at least 10,000 people in Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador and left tens of thousands homeless. Some needed food; others, medical attention. Americans, Europeans, Mexicans, and others almost immediately responded to the widespread devastation by sending large donations of food, clothing, and medicine. Six weeks after Mitch struck the Honduran …

Environmental Mismanagement in Australia's Far North
For almost a century Australians have been concerned about the settlement of their tropical north (Basedow 1932; Crowley 1960; Graham-Taylor 1980). Because of the region's sparse population and its proximity to Asia, they have feared they would lose it to a land- and food-hungry yellow horde (Western Australian Parliamentary Debates 1925; Willard 1967; Crowley 1974, 274, 293; Chapman 1992). This xenophobic anxiety, deeply imbedded in the White Au…
Contested Realities
Prior to 1980, feral horse numbers in the Northern Territory of Australia were thought to be low, between 40,000 and 60,000. Based on research done by an American geographer, these estimates should have been critically scrutinized by Australian scientists. They were, however, accepted uncritically. Then in the early 1980s, helicopter censuses showed that the feral horse population was more than 200,000, a figure that, when adjusted upward to 238,…
Why We Should Fear Postmodernists
Postmodernism is the raging fad, and in geography Michael Dear is perhaps its best known Brooks Brothers, Wall Street ad man. Uncharacteristically, in his commentary on what I have to say about Australia's wild horses, he loses his cool and flails away at me with a ceremonial tomahawk and a parlor house derringer. He shows that he does not understand or biologists. He can't find his way into public publishing record. He chooses to turn away from …

The Peasant Marketing System of Oaxaca, Mexico
The Mobile-Sedentary Continuum∗
Nomadic pastoralism, shifting cultivation, and periodic market systems are conceptualized in a three-stage model based on changes in mobility. In Stage I the systems are small and relatively self-sufficient, with high internal coherence and low mobility. Stage II has high mobility of residence and/or the means of production. Population growth, technological changes, the increasing size of social and political organizations, and the intrusion of f…
The Internal Marketing Systems of Jamaica
T HE important role that peasant periodic and daily markets play in economic development and social integration is becoming increasingly evident. At present, most marketplace studies deal with relatively small areas, or where they do encompass a large number of markets the data lack depth or are of uneven quality. Data have not been sufficient to make more than general statements about a national marketing system at the peasant level. Recently, i…
Toward a Cognitive Spatial Theory
Our knowledge of the external world impinges upon our actions, and our acts affect our knowledge. The relationship between behavior and knowledge is mutual or circular, and exceedingly complex. In this paper we simplify and compartmentalize this mutual relationship and focus particularly on the elementary observation that where one lives, where one travels, and what one does affects what one knows of and understands about the world. In what way c…
Prostitution in Nevada∗
Thirty-three brothels in rural and small-town Nevada, which contain between 225 and 250 prostitutes, are legal or openly tolerated and strictly controlled by state statute, city and county ordinances, and local rules. Twenty-two of the brothels are in places with populations between 500 and 8,000, and the remaining eleven are in rural areas. The legal and quasi-legal restrictions placed on prostitutes severely limit their activities outside broth…
Complex Periodic Market Cycles∗
Market cycles are conceptualized from the viewpoint of users. Distinctions are made between part-time and full-time traders, number of market days in a market week, location of the trader, routes used to frequent markets, the order of the good, and short-term changes in supply and demand. A number of complex market cycle types are identified with the aid of graph theoretic notions. Ecological complementarity within a market cycle framework is mea…
Marketplace Trade in Latin America
One of the Most Characteristic and Picturesque Features of Latin American commercial activity is the market, "an organized public gathering of buyers and sellers of commodities meeting at an appointed place at regular intervals" (Hodder 1965: 57). These markets are held in open market squares or plazas, in streets and open spaces, at roads junctions, and in public, municipal market buildings. Locally, markets are referred to by such names as feri…
The Jewish Colony of Sosúa∗
In the early 1940s approximately 1,000 Jewish refugees from Europe established a colony on the north coast of the Dominican Republic and became successful dairy farmers. A symbiotic relationship between the Jews and the Dominicans was mutually beneficial, but the former prospered while the latter remained poor. The present Jewish population is small and aged, tourism is making noticeable inroads, and wealthy Dominicans are settling in the area; m…
