Popular Culture Icons: Sinatra, Frank (1917–1998)
Frank Sinatra (Francis Albert Sinatra) rose to prominence in the late 1930s as a band singer with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. His solo career exploded in the war years and into the 1950s. After a slump in his career, Sinatra made a comeback in film, in person, and on recordings. His popularity continued through two retirements until his death

In Search of Religion
Anthropology began with a concern for exploring religion. Over time it abandoned its interest in origins, including the origins of religion. The influence of Boas's cultural history approach and Malinowski's functionalism directed anthropologists into particularistic studies of religion as part of given cultural systems. There was a movement away from the search for universal themes and the psychic unity of humans. Most anthropologists contented …

Hausa Concepts of Masculinity and the ‘Yan Daudu
There has long been an argument between advocates of nature and nurture regarding the function each has in shaping human behavior. Recently, sociobiologists such as Chagnon (1988) and Fox (1997) have had particular influence in shaping the argument regarding the inherent, or biological, nature of masculinity. The significance of the cultural construction of masculinity and femininity and of gender roles in general has been relatively neglected in…

The Tangibility of the Intangible: Beyond Empiricism
Edith Turner, in carrying on the works she and her husband Victor Turner pioneered, has focused attention on the unseen and unheard realities of cultural life. Her work draws attention back to the significance of the manner in which cultural actors shape their own realities and organize their lives, reminding those whose only reality is empirical science that there is a reality beyond the senses that often guides that which is sensible and the ma…

Adam Ashforth has presented a fascinating study of the role of witchcraft in postapartheid South Africa. His work is an interesting combination of reflexive ethnography and analytic ethnology. The blend works exceedingly well, far better than in most "personalized" field accounts, providing a model for future blends of humanistic and scientific field studies. It is also a cracking good story, worth reading for its own sake. Madumo, the pseudonym …
The International African Institute: The Rockefeller Foundation and the Development of British Social Anthropology in Africa
The question of the influence of foundations and other powerful interests on the development of research was of great moment in the debates of the 1960s. Although the issue resurfaces in epistemological discussions concerning the positioning of the researcher, little specific attention has been given to the manner in which the great foundations controlled and guided social science research. This is true of the role of the Rockefeller Foundation (…

The Methodological Significance of the Lying Informant
This paper offers a review of methodological problems as dealt with by anthropologists (mostly since the 1960s), points up the lack of data about the lying informant and suggests reasons for its neglect, specifically the humanistic self-image of the anthropological field worker. The methodological significance of the lying informant is then discussed in terms of a typology of lying, with examples from different culture areas. It is maintained tha…
Becoming Hausa: Ethnic identity change and its implications for the study of ethnic pluralism and stratification
Statement of problemAn interesting problem emerging from recent studies in complex societies is that of the relationship between ethnic identity and the interaction between various ethnic groups in a pluralistic society. In much of the sociological and anthropological literature, writers have treated ethnic groups as isolates and 'givens'. Such categorization dismisses the potential investigation of factors responsible for permanence and change i…

Anthropologists Versus Missionaries: The Influence of Presuppositions [and Comments and Reply]
Although a missionary once served as president of the Royal Anthropological Institute, anthropological enculturation commonly includes categorizing missionaries as enemies. The conditioning seems to be more covert than overt, since anthropology texbooks seldom deal specifically with missionary activity and few ethnographies contain condemnations of missionaries. Two presuppositions which may influence the antimissionary attitude are (1) that the …

Epistemological Implications of Fieldwork and Their Consequences
Fieldwork is anthropology's primary data-gathering device, providing a boundary marker from related disciplines. Since data obtained through fieldwork form the bases of anthropological theory, it is crucial that their truth value be analyzed. The paper discusses reasons for both the relative lack of epistemological concern in anthropology until recent times and its current vogue. The empirical foundations of fieldwork are examined and a grid is p…
Family, Fertility, and Economics [and Comments and Reply]
Family, fertility, and economics are inextricably intertwined. Yet despite intensive investigation, the interdependencies among these phenomena remain elusive. Expectations based on cross-cultural research and the theory of industrial society are contradicted by studies from throughout the industrial and industrializing world. Foundamental conceptual errors underlie these difficulties. This paper indicates how the interdependencies among family, …

Early Expatriate Society in Northern Nigeria: Contributions to a Refinement of a Theory of Pluralism
Primary among the criticisms that third-world scholars and radical social scientists have directed against applied social sciences in general and social anthropology in particular has been their alleged failures to the colonial context in which much of its field work has been carried out (Cf. Asad, 1975; Lewis, 1973, for examples.) Although these critics usually exaggerate their arguments and typically do not prove that early scholars were either…

There are a number of proverbs used by Hausa spouses to exert control over situations of conjugal conflict. "The b…

Indirect Rule and the Reinterpretation of Tradition: Abdullahi of Yauri
Radical social scientists and third-world scholars have accused traditional social scientists, especially social anthropologists, of failing to study the colonial milieu in which a majority of its field studies have been conducted (cf. Asad, 1975; Lewis, 1973 for examples). There are notable exceptions to that neglect, examples which partisan radicals fail to cite. Among those exceptions are Morris's (1968) study of Asians in East Africa, Ajayi's…

Finally, she has presented an evaluation of the course by students and her response to their evaluation. I would appreciate rea…
