Dispersing the Ghetto: The Relocation of Jewish Immigrants across America
In the early twentieth century, the population of New York City's Lower East Side swelled with the arrival of vast numbers of eastern European Jewish immigrants. The teeming settlement, whose inhabitants faced poverty and frequent unemployment, provoked the attention of immigration restrictionists. Established American Jews—arrivals from the German states only a generation before—feared that their security might be threatened by the newcomers. Th…

Mbeere Ancestors and the Domestication of Death
This article examines both traditional belief and practice regarding death and the ancestors and the transformation in the 'ancestor complex' resulting from sweeping changes in land tenure among the Mbeere of Kenya. Corpses were customarily exposed in the bush with little attendant ritual. The unceremonious disposal of corpses by highly mobile, weakly corporate descent groups made for a weak relationship between lineages and territories, and thus…
The Passover Seder: Afikoman in Exile
Shakespeare, Montaigne, and the Idea of Savagery
The European response to new geographical and ethnographic information in Renaissance travel literature is explored. Using Shakespeare's The Tempest and Montaigne's essays, the paper also examines depictions of the savage as an individual and savagery as a social form in order to compare artistic to more avowedly empirical representations. The views of the dramatist and the essayist are related to the modern anthropological perspective

Land Reform among the Mbeere of Central Kenya
Opening ParagraphThe Mbeere live in the area east of Mount Kenya and south-west of the Tana River. Numbering just under 50,000 they are ethnographically much less well known than their related neighbours the Kikuyu, Embu, Meru, and Kamba. In this paper we first outline the social organization, then the system of land rights, continuing to describe the government's programme of land reform, concluding by assessing the probable consequences of chan…
Generation Classes among the Mbeere of Central Kenya
IntroductionAge has represented in various ways a significant principle of social organization for the Mbeere of Kenya, one of the peoples of the North-eastern Bantu cluster, just as it has among numerous other peoples of East Africa. Traditionally a formal age organization comprised two groups: age-sets universally recruited from circumcised youth, and generation classes with constituent generation-sets. Informants' explanations of the age organ…

Ambiguity and Exchange: The Double Dimension of Mbeere Riddles
of African riddle content, style, structure, and form, the challenge to investigate further meanings and functions of riddles and riddling in African societies remains. This paper examines these problems through an analysis of riddles and riddling among the Mbeere of Kenya. Our discussion analytically separates the riddle proper from its frame. While previous studies have made such a distinction, the present analysis seeks to clarify the formal r…

Land Law and the Transformation of Customary Tenure: The Mbeere Case
The Mbeere of Central Kenya have recently been the focus of a programme of land adjudication and registration. Since the early 1960s when the Mbeere anticipated that they too would undergo the land reform process that had been applied elsewhere in Kenya, much of their attention has been riveted to the question of land tenure change. The new mode of holding land promises security of tenure through a registered title, significantly reduced land lit…

Sexual Symbolism, Origins, and the Ogre in Mbeere, Kenya
SEXUAL SYMBOLS IN FOLKLORE provide a way to discover how people think about sexuality and sex roles. If we further compare the representations of men and women in verbal art with what people say is proper to do, and with what they actually do, we can appreciate the complexity of symbols. Symbols assume numerous, even contradictory meanings, sometimes discrepant with action. Through symbols, always embedded in a system of meaning, people manipulat…
