The Present Challenging the Past
Issues of race and memory in America are closely connected. Racial categories and racialized thinking are primarily integrated into the American culture through collective memory, and any conversation concerning race issues inevitably becomes a conversation at least partly about history. The major crises of the past few years have a pronounced connection to collective perceptions of American history. The article explores the connection between hi…
Evolution and Forms of Socio-Political Organization: Historical and Anthropological Approaches (Introductory Remarks)
It is no coincidence that history and socio-cultural anthropology have the same progenitor. We all know from childhood that Herodotus is the ‘father of history’. But he should also rightfully be considered the ‘father of anthropology.’ In his work ‘History’, already in the fifth century BCE, he formulated a number of most essential for anthropology questions and to address them used methods and hypotheses that became classical for anthropological…
Cultural Anthropology in the USA
The outburst of antiracist protests in the USA in 2020 demonstrates how deeply this society's present-day problems are rooted in its past. From this perspective, a study of the cultural memory of the time of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, the key moment in the contemporary American nation formation, is especially relevant and important. The cultural frontier between the North and the South that had appeared as an outcome of differenc…
Social institutions and basic principles of the organization of societies
Общества представляют собой системы, состоящие из большого числа разнообразных взаимодействующих и изменяющихся социальных институтов. В результате их взаимодействия и трансформации происходит изменение структуры обществ в целом. Это и есть социальная эволюция - процесс структурного изменения. Эволюция не имеет определенного направления: любое значимое, т.е. трансформирующее общественную структуру в любом направлении, изменение является эволюцион…
Nation-Building in Post-Colonial States: Historical Past and Present-Day Realities
This paper critically engages dominant understandings of African state (in)capacity, particularly notions of state 'failure', 'fragility' and 'weakness'. Drawing from Ali Al'amin The latter and global process of policy transfer, diffusion and convergence are the primary causes of African state instability. Thus, the governance challenges facing African states are principally due to the regulatory or jurisdictional competition that characterises t…

In Search of the True Faith: The Appearance of Orthodox Old Believers in Uganda and Spiritual Anti-globalism in Contemporary Africa
The present article, based on field evidence collected in 2017, deals with a very recent phenomenon — the Orthodox Old Believers in Uganda. This faith originated in Russia, however in Uganda all its adherents belong to African ethnic groups. We describe the short by now history and current state of the Old-Believer communities in Uganda and then concentrate on their members’ motivation for converting to Old Believers vs. knowledge of this religio…

State Building, States, and State Transformation in Africa: Introduction
Postcolonial societies are a unique event in world history.Their emergence in the mid-twentieth century did not result from centuries-old internal social processes, but was directly determined by the formation and short-lived (by historical standards) existence and disintegration of the European colonial empires.The colonial borders reflected primarily the balance of forces between the metropolitan powers in this or that region, but not the prece…
Pre-slave trade and pre-colonial Africa in the historical consciousness of African-Americans and African migrants in the USA
African-Americans, who are descendants of slaves forcibly brought from Africa to America hundreds of years ago, and contemporary voluntary African migrants to the USA do not form a single ‘black community’. This statement contradicts the claims of many Black Nationalist movements from the nineteenth century onwards, which argued that all black people are ‘brothers and sisters’ because they share common spirituality and have a common cause that de…

Post-socialism Meets Postcolonialism
While Western Europe has a long history of facing and studying the issues of immigration, this phenomenon is still recent for the ex-socialist states and has not been studied sufficiently yet. At the same time, the 'closed' nature of the socialist societies and the difficulties of the 'transitional period' of the 1990s predetermine the problems in communication between the migrants and the population majority, the specific features of the forming…

The ‘fruit of enlightenment: Education, politics and Muslim-Christian relations in contemporary Tanzania(1)
Raising the standard of education in the country is a priority task for the Tanzanian government. However, it seems that completion of this task may cause political problems insofar as, since the colonial period, Christians have generally been more educated than Muslims and obtained better access to high administrative positions. If Muslims become as educated as Christians, will it not lead to a severe struggle for power between the two communiti…
Between the Ogiso and Oba Dynasties: An Interpretation of Interregnum in the Benin Kingdom
The evidence for the period separating the times of the two Benin dynasties, that of the ogiso and that of the oba , is extremely scanty and does not look very trustworthy. There are not even any direct indications as to the time when the events under consideration took place. However, an analysis of the Second dynasty's history allows to arrive at the conclusion that the events preceding its advent to power could date from the late twelth and ea…
Advent of the Second ( Oba ) Dynasty: Another Assessment of a Benin History Key Point
There is no other theme in precolonial Benin Kingdom studies around which so many lances have been broken as that of consolidation of the present-day Second ( Oba ) dynasty and the person of its founder Oranmiyan (Oranyan in Yoruba). The main reason for this is the existence of considerable disagreements between numerous Bini and Yoruba versions of the oral historical tradition. Besides this, the story of Oranmiyan is one of the Bini and Yoruba o…
Early State” in Cross-Cultural Perspective: A Statistical Reanalysis of Henri J. M. Claessen’s Database
The authors reanalyze Claessen’s data set on the “Early States.” Though Claessen’s Early State typology is largely justified, we suggest some corrections and amendments to his typologization and his model of Early State evolution. We show that the development of personal ownership of land correlates rather weakly with the political development of the Early State, and that political development might be accompanied by the strengthening of communal…
The Moscow School of Quantitative Cross-Cultural Research
In this paper the authors review the tradition of quantitative cross-cultural research in Russia, starting with a review of the qualitative cross-cultural research tradition, both in the world in general and in Russia in particular. Afterwards, the authors discuss in more detail the origins of the Moscow School of quantitative cross-cultural research, as well as the main concrete results obtained by those belonging to it
