Haitian Immigrants in Black America: A Sociological and Sociolinguistic Portrait. Flore Zéphir
Clowning as Critical Practice: Performance Humor in the South Pacific
The work of the clown is avowedly political - passionately opinionated about the human condition and, via parody and burlesque, breaks the frames of proper behaviour to instruct, criticise and transform. Whether the clowning performance is a critique of others' actions, appearances and beliefs, or initiated to effect a cultural transformation, the clown is a political force that commands recognition. By focusing on the practice of clowning in the…
Wasted Lives: Tuberculosis and Other Health Risks of Being Haitian in a U.S. Detention Camp
In 1982, the author interviewed 38 Haitian tuberculosis patients and had informal discussions with nonpatients and medical personnel at Krome, a detention camp for illegal entrants run by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Following a general statement about laughter and humor, this essay describes situations in which they occur on Nissan and then focuses on those situations that appear to involve Schadenfreude. Particularly signif…

Lies My Informants Told Me
Lying occurs in all human societies, yet few anthropologists have explored this phenomenon ethnographically. Based in part on my own field experiences, I suggest some of the problems connected with making such a study. There follows an after-the-fact exploration of lying among the Melanesians of Nissan Atoll (Papua New Guinea). As is undoubtedly the case universally, islanders disapprove in principle of lying, but also recognize circumstances und…
