Frame That Rug: Narratives of Zapotec Textiles as Art and Ethnic Commodity in the Global Marketplace
This article explores representations of Mexican Zapotec textiles as texts and as sites of contested values and meanings. Discussion of this indigenous cottage industry begins in the Oaxacan village of Teotitlán del Valle, the site of production, and follows the textile as it moves across social and cultural borders as a commodity in postindustrial consumer culture. The anthropologist's mediating role in brokering Zapotec textiles is considered w…

Image of Limited Good, or Expectation of Reciprocity? [and Comments and Reply]
Foster's limited-good model has been both widely accepted and roundly criticized. Upon superficial examination, certain behavior patterns among the Mopan Maya of southern Belize seem to reflect the presence of a limited-good cognition. With closer scrutiny, however, much contrary evidence emerges, and the behavior patterns in question appear, instead, to stem from what is tentatively termed the expectation of circumstantially balanced reciprocity…
Giving and Receiving: Participation in Chiefly Redistribution Activities in Samoa
It is generally known that large-scale redistributions regularly occur today in many parts of Polynesia; indeed, students of Polynesia have been impressed with the scale and quantity of goods that are mobilized and accumulated for important social occasions. However, few intensive studies of Polynesian redistributions exist in the literature except for Firth's (I936, 1959, I965) important works on the New Zealand Maori and the Tikopia, and Sahlin…
The Cognatic Descent Groups of Contemporary Samoa
The structure of cognatic descent groups constitutes an area of empirical and theoretical interest to social anthropologists. Cognatic descent groups are a prominent feature of presentday Samoan society, and for this reason Samoa is of especial importance to students of the Pacific as well as to students of comparative social structure. The purpose of this article is twofold: (i) to indicate recurrent issues in the comparative study of cognatic d…
