Subsistence Strategies and the Division of Labor by Gender Among Clothes Makers in Nonindustrial Societies
This article tests the proposition that the division of labor by gender among clothes makers in nonindustrial societies is associated with the relative dependence of the artisan’s family on commercial production. A cross-cultural test using the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) probability sample finds that a man is more likely to make clothes if his nuclear family depends on clothes making more than other forms of subsistence production. There a…

What's in a Name? The Consequences of Violating Brazilian Emic Color-Race Categories in Estimates of Social Well-Being
This is the second article reporting the results of an experiment designed to assess the consequences of overriding the Brazilian emic color-race classification system in studies of color-race relations. We have already demonstrated that use of the nonsalient term parda, rather than the salient term morena, to denote "mixed" color-race status causes the overnumeration of brancas (whites) and pretas (blacks). Some Brazilianists remain confident th…
Access to Subsistence Resources and the Sexual Division of Labor Among Potters
Research on the sexual division of labor among adults has exam ined its relationship to sexual dimorphism, labor-economizing strategies in production processes, and cultural complexity. The author argues that none of the studies has successfully explained the sexual allocation of labor in some of the crafts because re searchers have not examined the causal effect of the material and social conditions thatgive rise to household-level variation in …
Who are the Whites: Imposed Census Categories and the Racial Demography of Brazil
This article presents the results of an experiment carried out in Brazil to test the consequences of ignoring or overriding the distinctive features of the cognitive system by which Brazilians express their “race-color” identities.{su1} The experiment consisted of substituting a salient vernacular term (morena) for the seldom-used term (parda) that the Brazilian census offers as self-identification for a person who has both black and white color-…
