What is an Ethnic Group? The View from Social Anthropology
In this paper I shall review some of the ways in which anthropologists have looked at and written about what we now call ethnic groups and ethnicity. I shall argue that the terms in which anthropologists have written about such issues can only to a very limited extent be regarded as a separate, let alone ‘expert’, form of discourse. I shall then examine the implications of this for any kind of dialogue between anthropologists and medical professi…

Male Bias' in Anthropology
Sacred Cows and Water Buffalo in India
In 1958-59 and in 1977-78, we undertook holistic ethnographic studies of a village in northern India. Profound technoenvironmental change occurred in the 18-year period between the two studies. With regard to cattle, the principal change was a shift from bullock power to machinery. This provided the basis for a test of the two principal positions that have been taken in the sacred-cow controversy: (1) technoenvironmental determinism, which denies…
The North Indian Peasant Goes to Market
Women and Their Affines
In north India, the term ghungat nikalna refers to the practice whereby a woman veils her face from all male affines senior to her own husband. A description of ghungat as practised in Ghanyari, a Himalayan village, is given here. Generally, anthropologists have described ghungat within the context of discussions of household organisation. However, as women extend ghungat to all classificatory and 'courtesy' affines, i.e. to most of the senior me…
Migration From an Indian Village; An Anthropological Approach
In this article it is argued that the 'micro' approach of the anthropologist to the study of rural social structures may contribute to the study of local patterns of migration. Unfortunately, few social anthropologists working in the Indian sub-continent (unlike Africanist anthropologists) have shown much interest in the position of the urban migrant in the rural social structure. Even so, the information available reveals a number of patterns of…
