Equity, power and resources in primary health care reform
It concludes that exploring power and resource shifts sheds light on power dynamics within a reform. Since power shapes how resources are deployed, attention to power and resource complements technical elements of health system reform, by helping to understand where and how to intervene so that reforms achieve their desired goals
Christ on a Donkey – Palm Sunday, Triumphal Entries, and Blasphemous Pageants
'Christ on a Donkey' reveals Palm Sunday processions and related royal entries as both processional theatre and highly charged interpretations of the biblical narrative. Harris's narrative ranges from ancient Jerusalem to modern-day Bolivia, from veneration to iconoclasm, and from Christ to Ivan the Terrible. A curious theme emerges: those representations of Christ's entry into Jerusalem that were labelled blasphemous or idolatrous by those in po…

Do the Right Thing
International nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) are frequently criticized for failing to adequately represent or engage with grassroots stakeholders. Yet most explanations of this shortcoming have focused on factors external to the organizations, e.g., economic pressures that privilege donor interests. What has been largely lacking is an examination of the role of internal INGO characteristics. We address this by examining INGOs’ legitimacy s…

Carnival and Other Christian Festivals
With a riotous mix of saints and devils, street theater and dancing, and music and fireworks, Christian festivals are some of the most lively and colorful spectacles that occur in Spain and its former European and American possessions. That these folk celebrations, with roots reaching back to medieval times, remain vibrant in the high-tech culture of the twenty-first century strongly suggests that they also provide an indispensable vehicle for ex…
Saint Sebastian and the Blue-Eyed Blacks Corpus Christi in Cusco, Peru
The early summer festival of Corpus Christi has been for many centuries the occasion for vibrant street theatre throughout the Roman Catholic world. The pageantry thrives in Cusco, Peru, where the week of Corpus Christi festivities runs concurrently with the massive civic parades that precede the reconstructed Inca solstice festival of Inti Raymi. This miscegenation of festive traditions befits the celebration's multiple ethnic referents, invokin…

Sahagún and the Transition to Modernity
There is much that is good in this book. The author’s stated intent is “to estrange the reader from Sahagún” (p. 7), replacing the familiar image of Bernardino Sahagún (ca. 1499–1590) as a kind of early modern ethnographer of indigenous central Mexico with a more historicized image of a late medieval Spanish friar obsessively groping his way towards a very limited understanding of a strange new world.In the first part of the book, Walden Browne t…

The Return of Moctezuma
Specifically, Wachtel has in mind the widespread folk dramatizations of the Spanish conquest of indigenous America. But the Spanish, too, brought with them to the Americas their own trauma of invasion and armed resistance. For nearly 750 years, Moors had occupied parts of Spain. The year 1492 was not only the time when Columbus landed in the Americas; it was also the year in which the Spanish forces conquered the last Moorish stronghold of Granad…

Unpublished Documents Relating to Town Life in Coventry
The subject of this paper is to be found in two volumes of correspondence from royal and private persons belonging to the city of Coventry, and in one other MS., the diary of Robert Beake, mayor of Coventry in 1655. Where the original of this latter MS. is I do not know; possibly it has perished; but a copy exists in the writing of the Rev. F. J. Eld, whose father was a former mayor of Coventry, and this copy still is in the son's possession
