Seeds of Activism and Memories of the '50s, '60s, '70s by One Elder
In this article, Aswad describes how she became involved in the Middle East and her ongoing commitment to organizations and programs working for Arab Americans and Palestine. She focuses on the Dearborn area and the ultimately successful struggle to prevent the destruction of the largely Arab American community in the Southend through a program of “urban renewal” which was actually one of “urban removal.”

Bride-Price Reconsidered [and Comments]
A revised consideration of bride-price and dowry is presented. Marriage payments are viewed as status symbols and mechanisms of fluidity relating to stratification systems. An inability to carry out exchange "in kind" (i.e., bride for bride) appears in cases of marriage between groups of different status and is shaped by cultural principles of stratification. The phenomena of hypergamy, hypogamy, and isogamy, along with different exchange currenc…

Property Control and Social Strategies in Settlers in a Middle Eastern Plain: Settlers on a Middle Eastern Plain
In this work, anthropologist Barbara C. Aswad presents an analysis of social organization and land control of a Middle Eastern tribal society that has become sedentarized, with particular focus on kinship and marriage and other strategies of mobility. Aswad did her research in villages of the Al Shiukh tribe in southern Turkey along the Syrian border in 1964 and 1965

attempt to generalize for the Middle East, but will present data on the key and peripheral roles of women in a sedentarized landowning lineage community located in a plain on the TurkishSyrian border.? The position of women from landowning lineages quite naturally differs from that of sharecropping women and more resembles the position of urban women from aristocratic families. In particular we will examine the de jure and de facto control of lan…
