Quanto Vale Uma Favela

Cities, Classes, and the Social Order: A Study of Urban Life and Beyond
Originally published in 1971, "Cities, Classes, and the Social Order" by Anthony Leeds offers a critical analysis of urbanization and its impact on social structures, particularly in developing countries.

Ecology, Evolution, and the Search for Cultural Origins: The Question of Islamic Pig Prohibition [and Comments and Reply]
This paper examines the ecological explanation offered by Marvin Harris for the origin of pig prohibition in Islam, using the case to evaluate the functional-ecological paradigm and its treatment of cultural origins. Five majorpoints are addressed. First, a survey of the biological literature reveals that functional-ecological theory and evolutionary theory are distinct, but related. While functional ecology explains how systems work, evolutionar…

Women in the Migratory Process: A Reductionist Outlook
The point of my title is to indicate my ever-increasing malaise respecting the spurious reification of as a unit for anlaysis-a unit I see as ideologically generated, not scientifically. The category seems to me a rhetorical one, not one which has (or can be proved to have) generic scientific utility. The category, at best, is only useful contextually, i.e., with reference to special social situations or societies, where, in any case, it is bette…

Considerations Regarding Anthropology in High School Curricula
Few courses in anthropology have been taught as such at the high school level in the United States. Nevertheless, both in high schools and in elementary schools, and more particularly in the private schools, information which the anthropologists consider their own special interest has been used. Thus, children may be taught information about the Eskimo, apparently the favorite culture to represent the non-Western world and almost undoubtedly the …

In the treatment of the concept of political legitimacy, Bwy states that people support their political system "not only because 'this is the way it has always been' (traditional legitimacy), and because of gratifications received from the system, but also because they had a hand in making it the way it is. In short, the ability to participate in a system leads directly to the building of positive affect toward it." He goes on to point out that t…
