Notes Toward a New Future: Applied Anthropology in Century XXI
We are challenged to define a new applied anthropology to meet the terms and conditions of a new century. First, it requires us to recognize the epigenetic transformation in the sociocultural landscape that defines our field. The new landscape is shaped in the image of globalization: the worldwide expansion of neoliberal political structures and the capitalist economies which they facilitate and promote both at home and abroad. Second, we must cu…

The Future of an Imagined Community: Trailer Parks, Tree Huggers, and Trinational Forces Collide in the Southern Arizona Borderlands
Surviving small towns in southern Arizona have diversified to occupy a variety of specialized niches. Each responds to the needs of the nearby urban centers or to sectors of the broader and more remote public of visitors, vacationers, and transients. Benson, Arizona, a former market town and transportation center located on the San Pedro River, is seeking its niche in the
Close-Ups of Postnationalism: Reports from the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands
Postnational globalization invents forms of production and creates urban landscapes to contain them. One locus for this process is the indistinct border zone between the United States and Mexico. The forbidding physical character of the region, and its lack of conventional resources, has been counterbalanced by locational advantages for industry and trade, tourism and recreation. The borderlands exemplify forces contributing to an evolving margin…
Advancing Applied Anthropology Toward Anthropology Without Borders: Working in the Brave New Postnational World
L'A. propose quelques reflexions prospectives et methodologiques pour l'application de l'anthropologie dans un monde transnational, globalise et postnational. A partir de quelques brefs commentaires sur le sommet du millenaire des Nations-Unis a New York, sur la doctrine de Kofi Annan, sur la redefinition de l'espace des nations et des Etats, sur l'autonomisation - ou la transnationalisation - du Chiapas et de Oaxaca au Mexique, sur l'efflorescen…

You CAN Do Something! Forming Policy from Applied Projects, Then and Now
Over the past half century, applied anthropology has evolved as part of the global process through which human society has been transformed. Several levels of sociocultural integration have been transcended. Applied efforts at parallel interventions have shifted from the bounded and orderly little community through the teeming chaos of the developing city to the boundless and amorphous world of the postnational map and the human ethnoscape which …
Globalization: Touchstone Policy Concept or Sucked Orange
Cet article se penche sur le concept de mondialisation qui a emerge lentement comme paradigme au coeur meme de l'anthropologie appliquee, dans sa double polarite entre le global et le local. Mais dans la discipline est apparu un paradoxe, mis en evidence par la scission operee a l'Universite de Stanford entre le departement d'anthropologie culturelle et sociale et le departement de science anthropologique : il se trouve que les deux departements …

Extending epidemiologic transition theory: A new stage
The epidemiologic transition theory focuses on the changing patterns of morbidity and mortality and postulates that mortality by cause will evolve from a predominance of acute and infectious diseases to a predominance of chronic and degenerative diseases. The epidemiologic transition theory comprises three stages: the age of pestilence and famine (lasting until 1875), receding pandemics (from 1875 to 1930), and degenerative and man‐made diseases …
Demographic Responses to Development: Sources of Declining Fertility in the Philippines
Darwinian Selection, Symbolic Variation, and the Evolution of Culture [and Comments and Reply]
Most contemporary models of cultural change are derived from pre-Darwinian, especially Spencerian, sources and are conditioned by such unstated assumptions as typological thinking and a belief in directed, adaptive variation. This paper defends a Darwinian selectionist approach to cultural evolution. Darwinian selectionism requires undirected, heritable variation. Selection acts upon variants that are not preferentially oriented to or generated w…

The Field Station as “Joint Venture”: A New Basis for Practicing Anthropology in a Developing Country
The "joint venture" field station in a strategic Third World location may provide the opportunity to achieve a number of goals sought by applied anthropologists. Among these are the description and analysis of urban and rural modernization processes, planning and monitoring of assistance programs, conducting evaluation studies, training students (both local and expatriate), and providing employment for professionals
New Patterns of Urbanization in Southeast Asia: An Assessment
It is becoming evident that the urban-industrial pattern of economic development through which Korea and Taiwan have achieved substantial gains in distributed income will not apply to Southeast Asia. Instead a new pattern of urbanization is emerging in the core countries of the region: Indonesia the Philippines Malaysia and Thailand. Rapid improvement of infrastructure and expansion of agribusiness have created increasing demands for urban servic…
Spanish Colonial Tucson: A Demographic History
Dobyns] has written a fascinating account of the ethnic development of early Tucson. Using a variety of methods and sources, he reveals how Spaniards, mestizos from New Spain, and Native Americans from many tribes laid the ethnic foundations for the modern city. The book also provides much insight into the general history of Spanish colonial society as it evolved in the Tucson area to 1821. . . . Dobyns, utilizing previously unpublished primary s…

The Parameters of an Ethnic Group: A Method for Studying the Total Tribe1
The range of variation and rate of transformation within tribal societies require inductive methods of description, but these same features impose difficulties in isolating the subject for measurement. The method described here employs aerial photography and computer technology, together with conventional genealogical inquiry, to enclose a rapidly changing tribe, the Papago Indians, within a kinship network, seven generations in depth. Demographi…

Reluctant Emigrants: The Role of Migration in Papago Indian Adaptation
The results of a sample survey of migration conducted in three districts of the Papago Indian Reservation are reported. The study measured the composition and destination of the migrant stream and estimated rates for the various aspects of the process. It was intended to determine whether migration was essentially (1) temporary and circular, intended to conserve reservation community life through importing external economic resources, or (2) perm…
The Costs of Cultural Change: Accidental Injury and Modernization among the Papago Indians
The health status of American Indians today is in transition between preindustrial and modern patterns of morbidity and mortality. As traditional causes of diseases and death tend to recede, however, an unexpected threat to life has gained increasing importance. Accidental deaths account for more than one-fifth of all United States Indian mortality and are responsible for three times more deaths among Indians than among Whites. Unlike better know…

Restricted Interdependence: The Adaptive Pattern of Papago Indian Society
Interpreters of developmental change among tribal societies frequently portray the agents of Western institutions as imposing innovations upon a passive, recipient culture. This study of programs of developmental change among the Papago Indians places emphasis upon the systematic nature of the Indian response which is presented as an adaptive strategy well suited to the rigors of the Sonoran Desert.The Indians are described as employing a centrif…

Process Formation in Applied Anthropology
Professional work in applied anthropology deals largely with the changing living conditions of the peasant peoples of the underdeveloped areas under the impact of Western civilizations. In this work, we seek to relate the formal theoretical tools of our discipline to the problems confronting us. It is our uniform consensus that existing sociocultural change theory is unequal to the task
