Caste in Itself, Caste and Class, or Caste in Class
After the British conquered Bengal and eventually the whole of India,they set out to administer the colony. In this context they encountered two phenomena with which they were not familiar: (1) the relation of people to land for production (and not for revenue receiving, household living, etc.), and (2) the caste system of India, viz. the jati strati?cation of society
Clarifying Confusion
Social Reality and Culture
Social reality has been, and is, usually appraised on the basis of a structure-process-structure (s-p-s) syndrome. But that attempt may avoid historicity in the course of formation of the initial structure. Therefore, the syndrome should be process-structure-process (p-s-p), which calls for a different conception and methodology. For that attempt, culture acquired a pivotal bearing because structure represents what has happened in history, and th…

Concepts and Methods for the Secondary Analysis of Variations in Family Structures [and Comments and Replies]
Primary data on the family have been collected over a long period of time and inmany parts of the world through social surveys in which the study of the family may or may not have been an objective. Secondary analysis of these data can produce useful information on cross-cultural and longitudinal variations in family structures. In particular, the combinated data will be plentiful enough to permit detailed categorization, which may not have been …

On Ethnic Unit Classification [and Comments and Reply]
This paper discusses the general concept of the basic culture-bearing unit and proposes a new definition-the cultunit. This proposal is a response to the need for units of cross-cultural surveys to be comparable and to be rigorously defined if these studies are to be validated statistically. Such anthropologists as Schapera, Berndt, Whiting, Evans-Pritchard, Reichard, Radcliffe-Brown, Fortes, Ember, Murdock, Nadel, Leach and Driver have given muc…
