Voices of the SpiritsRitual Discourse, Musicality, and Communicative Ideologies in Amazonia
In recent decades, researchers working in geographically widespread and linguistically diverse regions have found that ritually powerful discourse genres share a number of common features. This chapter will provide in-depth coverage of two of these features that are centrally important across the entire region: 1) their mythic origins, or intertextual linkages between mythic narratives and ritual discourses and 2) the connections between verbal a…
The Predatory Rhetorics of Urban Development
In this article, we reflect on the pernicious nature of rhetoric aimed at soliciting Black community support for predatory urban development schemes. Highlighting recent examples of Urban One Casino + Resort's development campaign in Richmond, Virginia, and the messaging leveraged by political leaders on behalf of SoFi stadium and the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, we find that discursive moves made by public and private stakeholders refle…
Revisiting the Place and Race Divide
Poorly Understood
Kin Support of the Black Middle Class
In comparison to middle-class Whites, middle-class African Americans disproportionately provide financial support to their low-income family members. Evidence suggests that this practice is both essential for its low-income recipients and economically detrimental for Black middle-class givers. Scholars often oversimplify Black middle-class identity by describing kin support as motivated solely by racial identity. Gathering insight from 41 in-dept…
Using Frameworks of Social Desirability to Teach Subjectivity in Interviews
Qualitative methods courses lack tools for teaching students how to capture and analyze the nuanced ways participant subjectivity shows up in interviews. This article responds to the call for greater depth in qualitative methods instruction by offering teachers a series of discussion questions and an in-class worksheet that will help students more deeply probe and understand their data. These practical in-class tools leverage one theoretical lens…
Music Within and About Myth / Myths About and Within Music
This article starts by revisiting Sherzer and Urban's 1986 volume on Native South American Discourse as an important beginning for more integrative ways of exploring the dynamic interrelations between musicality and lexicality in native Amazonian discourse. Sherzer and Urban's focus on the intimate relationship between musicality and speech was a radical decentering of traditional linguistic approaches and was nicely complemented by the inclusion…
Signifying Others
Inequality in the 21st Century
Why are so many types of inequality suddenly increasing? Should we be worried that we're moving into a "second gilded age" with unprecedented levels of income inequality? In this new collection, David B. Grusky and Jasmine Hill present readings that lay bare the main changes in the social and economic landscape, what's driving these changes, and what might be done to reverse them. This reader delivers the latest and most influential contributions…
Manifeste contre les attaques infligées aux droits des autochtones du Brésil
Mai 2017 Nous, professeurs, intellectuels et universitaires, manifestons avec véhémence notre refus de la politique anti-autochtone de l’État brésilien et notre préoccupation vis-à-vis d’une politique qui a déjà des conséquences génocidaires dans les États du Mato Grosso do Sul, de Bahia et du Maranhão. Ces cinq dernières années, les attaques contre les droits autochtones se sont aggravées et ont permis leur révision en autorisant la contestation…
Young Catholic America
This book provides an in-depth description and analysis of American Catholics (and ex-Catholics) ages 18–23. The main focus is on their religious and spiritual lives but also includes an examination of how their religious faith and practice do and do not affect other life outcomes. Based on nationally representative survey and interview (longitudinal/panel) data of the highest quality, the National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR—first and thir…
Instruments of Power
Indigenous peoples across Amazonia make and play a rich variety of flutes and other wind instruments in their collective rituals and ceremonies. These instruments are cultural tools for enacting semiotic transformations that are central to indigenous understandings of human and non-human powers to control social reproduction and natural fertility. This essay will explore collective performances of flutes and other aerophones as ways of harnessing…
Etnicidade na Amazônia Antiga
Este ensaio explora como a etnogenese, hibridizacao, identidades persistentes e seus conceitos relacionados estao sendo trabalhados atualmente na antropologia do Amazonas. A aproximacao teorica se apoia na caracterizacao que James Clifford (2004) realiza da etnogenese, entendendo-a como o processo de “refazer autenticamente” novas identidades sociais atraves da redescoberta e transformacao criativa de componentes da “tradicao” como narrativas ora…

The Celestial Umbilical Cord
This article focuses on the multiple uses and meanings of wild palm species as sources of musical wind instruments and edible fruits in sacred ceremonies and rituals of the Wakuénai (or Curripaco) living in the Venezuelan Amazon. In myth, the emergence of a macanilla (púpa) tree from the ashes of the primordial human being (Kuwái) became the source of sacred flutes and trumpets, and the sounds made by these wind instruments opened up the world fo…

"I Foresee My Life"
Comentarios de Jonathan Hill
In general I found this to be a fascinating manuscript with many interesting points. I was especially interested in the development of theoretical concepts, such as "etnificacion" and "etnicizacion", as well as the "reconnecting" of indigenous societies with their histories as a way of counteracting colonial ideologies and official national histories that have disconnected these peoples from their histories for many centuries. In my view, that is…
Expanding Identities
Choice Of Law In Contract Under The Rome Convention
The core provisions of the Rome Convention on the law applicable to contractual obligations are deceptively simple: a contract is governed by the law chosen by the parties (Article 3(1)); to the extent that the parties have not made a choice, a contract is governed by the law of the country with which it is most closely connected (Article 4(1)). However, within these provisions there are a number of problems. First, Article 3 provides that the pa…
“Musicalizando” o Outro
Estudos de narrativas nas terras baixas sul-americanas vêm demonstrando como povos indígenas localizados em regiões da bacia amazônica, distantes entre si, reformulam de maneira criativa sua interpretação das origens da ordem social, de como essa se situa e se transforma tanto por meios endógenos quanto exógenos, em abrangentes processos históricos de mudança. Ao construir abordagens teóricas da história baseadas nos conceitos de poder e modos de…
New Identities
Egalitarian Behavior and Reverse Dominance Hierarchy [and Comments and Reply]
Keepers of the Sacred Chants
The Wakuenai of the upper Rio Negro region in southern Venezuela employ a form of singing called malikai for ceremonies of childbirth, initiation, and healing. This ritual chanting is a rich amalgam of myth and music, and serves as a means of integrating individuals into a vertical hierarchy of power relations between mythic ancestors and human descendants. Jonathan Hill here shows how the musical and semantic transformations of everyday discours…
Contested Pasts and the Practice of Anthropology
With this issue, the editors of the American Anthropologist introduce the first Contemporary Issues Forum, "Contested Pasts and the Practice of Anthropology." We find it incumbent upon the flagship journal of the profession to encourage productive discussion of current issues of relevance to anthropologists and the public. The editors have targeted broadly significant and controversial topics as foci for the forums with a view to encouraging prod…
History, Power, and Identity
For the past five centuries, indigenous and African American communities throughout the Americas have fought to maintain and recreate enduring identities under conditions of radical change and discontinuity. The essays in this ground-breaking volume document this cultural creativity - this ethnogenesis - within and against the broader contexts of domination; the authors simultaneously encompass the entanglements of local communities in the webs o…
History, Ritual, and Myth
This article examines the relationship between history, ritual, and myth in the context of 19th-century millenarian movements in the Northwest Amazon. Focusing on the Vaupés River region, the authors analyze how indigenous groups, such as the Cubeo and Tukano, selectively appropriated and reinterpreted elements of Christian cosmology and ritual to create new forms of religious expression. These millenarian movements, often arising in response to …
Social Equality and Ritual Hierarchy
The social organization of Eastern Tukanoan peoples in the Northwest Amazon region shows a dual tendency toward egalitarian and hierarchical relationships. This paper provides new data on the neighboring Northern Arawakan peoples of the Isana and Guainía rivers. It explores the equality-versus-hierarchy contrast as a pair of distinct, yet interconnected, modes of structuring that create adaptive flexibility in response to extreme seasonal fluctua…

Alienated targets military discourse and the disempowerment of indigenous Amazonian peoples in Venezuela
In June through August of 1984, a dispute over land tenure between the Piaroa, an indigenous Amazonian people, and a wealthy Venezuelan colonist escalated from a local conflict into a national controversy over military security and its alleged absence in the Federal Amazon Territory. In the process, high‐ranking government officials and members of the economic elite accused the supporters of Piaroa land rights of participating in an international…

Some Private International Law Aspects of the Arbitration Act 1996
As a method for resolving commercial disputes which have connections with two or more countries, arbitration has been given a tremendous boost this century by two developments at the international level. The New York Convention of 1958—which was first implemented in England and Wales by the Arbitration Act 1975—introduced a regime which went a long way toward ensuring that arbitration agreements are respected and that arbitral awards are easily e…
