Radical and Non-Radical Orthodoxy in the Anthropology of Religion
If the anthropology of religion incorporates the relationship of the social to the cosmological order, then it has proven to be remarkably inattentive to the Christian radical orthodoxy movement.

Sounds of the New Deal: The Federal Music Project in the West. By Peter Gough
From 1933 until the onset of World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal aimed to reverse the economic downturn of the Great Depression through work programs administered by the federal Works Progress Administration (WPA). While these programs failed to end the Depression, they left a colorful history of early progressive experiments in a mixed economy. Of particular note here are the New Deal’s efforts to create work for unemployed artists, w…

Globalization, Negotiation, and the Failure of Transformation in South Africa: Revolution at a Bargain?
Introduction: Questions from a Gestalt Moment
Consider an international checkers tournament. South Africa is represented by an all-white team but their baggage-handlers are black. The handlers never get to play, but they have been following the game and think they know some good moves. They have even been supporting other African teams at the tournament. But the game has gradually been changing over to use new pieces and new rules—chess rules! Some teams are openly playing chess with new boa…

I Just Want to Be a Cosmic Cowboy: Hippies, Cowboy Code, and the Culture of a Counterculture
Cowboys and "Hippies" are not as different as one might think. This article explores the connections between cowboys and hippies portrayed by 1960s and 1970s countercultural musicians, moviemakers, and novelists who stressed themes of the Myth of the West and the Cowboy Code. These portrayals of "Cosmic Cowboys" show that many scholars' generalizations about the "radical" and "leftist" nature of the 1960s "counterculture" break down under close i…
