Life among the Yanomami. The Story of Change among the Xilixana on the Mucajai River in Brazil
best ethnographers are often sensible, yet sensitive with a well-developed appreciation of absurd. These are particularly valuable traits for a field worker engaged in long-term research in an isolated area, far from everyday amenities of Western life, among who are very much the other. When focus of study is of Brazil's Amazonia, originally characterized by Napoleon Chagnon as the people, common sense, humour and a high level of empathy become, …

Socialization Among the Old Order Mennonites
The Old Order Mennonites continue with their separate and peculiar life ways amidst the modern Canadian society. Some very gradual change, primarily because of the inevitable association with the external social structure, is documented. However, effective socialization in ethnic maintenance is found because of: the strong adherence to the Swiss-German dialect, the religious-tradition base of their values, the self assurance they perpetuate among…
Introductory Sociology
Role Socialization Through the Life Cycle of the Yanomama
The development approach to the study of the family has been significantly and appropriately used in western societies. This research applies this approach to a preliterate group, the Yanomama of north Brazil, the specific stages in the life cycle are total dependency, and early childhood for both sexes, after which the stages are distinctly separated by gender. In the female the five remaining stages are later childhood, puberty and marriage, ch…

The Shirishana of the Yanomami
The Shirishana, a primitive Yanomami group in north Brazil, first made contact with Western civilization in 1958. The author resided eight years among them and has researched social change in the group over a twenty‐three‐year period. At contact, the population was 118 with a sex ratio of 149. Despite foreign diseases and the practice of abortion and infanticide, the group in 1980 numbered 280 with a sex ratio of 93. This research shows a small p…

Its purpose is to compare the factors related to Shirishana polyandry with those indicated by the general literature on the subject. The literature frequently associates polyandry with a simple horticultural economy, with a heavy importance upon family life identity, and with a population with a low sex…
