Imagining the Mulatta
Imagining the Mulatta: Blackness in U.S. and Brazilian Media demonstrates how mixed-race women of African and European descent are harnessed in popular media as a tool to uphold white supremacy and discipline people of African descent to uphold state policies of antiblackness. Uncovering the racialized and gendered paradigms of U.S. and Brazilian media, the book uses case studies of texts from a broad range of popular culture media—film, telenove…

Factors in rural male absenteeism in Rhodesia 1
Labour migration, or rather, labour absenteeism—the temporary absence in wage labour of some sections of a given population from their usual place of residence—seems particularly to be characteristic of, though not peculiar to, what have been called 'plural societies'. The estimates for male absentees gave negative results for two areas: Kariba and Mutema area in Chipinga. This chapter explores the relationships among some variables whose connect…
The Kalela Dance / La danse du kalela
La danse du kalela est exécutée, aux heures de loisir, par des citadins africains d'une ville minière d'Afrique australe, dans les années cinquante. Elle se réfère au monde supérieur des Blancs (par la tenue des danseurs) et, en même temps, aux relations inter-ethniques africaines (par les thèmes des chants et par le recrutement ethnique des groupes de danse). Cette double référence sert de fil conducteur à l'analyse des relations sociales (parmi…

Factors in the Length of Stay of Homeless Families in Temporary Accommodation
Data relating to 526 homeless families in temporary accommodation were collected in a study directed mainly to the examination of support networks of a sample of these families. The data, however, have allowed the authors to examine the effects of certain characteristics of these families on the average length of stay in temporary accommodation before they were housed permanently. Log-linear analysis was used to establish the independent effect o…
Configurational Similarity in Three Class Contexts in British Society
Using data from the Nuffield 1972 Occupational Mobility Survey at the 36 category level of the Hope-Goldthorpe scale, we investigate the basic structure in the dissimilarity matrices for categories of respondent with respect to their profiles of (i) fathers, (ii) fathers-in-law and (iii) spare-time associates. The major finding is that the basic structure is essentially the same in all three cases. An interpretation of this common structure is of…

Family, Fertility, and Economics [and Comments and Reply]
Family, fertility, and economics are inextricably intertwined. Yet despite intensive investigation, the interdependencies among these phenomena remain elusive. Expectations based on cross-cultural research and the theory of industrial society are contradicted by studies from throughout the industrial and industrializing world. Foundamental conceptual errors underlie these difficulties. This paper indicates how the interdependencies among family, …

Cultural explanations of fertility differences
The reproductive behaviour of human beings, in contrast to that of other animals, is distinguished by almost universal awareness of the connection between sexual activity on the one hand and the birth of children on the other. There are, it is true, some classic examples where this connection apparently is not appreciated, as for example, the Trobrianders as described by Malinowski (1937), and the Arunta of the Central Australian desert as descri…

The Calculation of Predicted Correlations from Path Coefficients
Tracing the paths in a causal diagram in order to calculate predicted correlations between variables can be a tiresome and confusing procedure. Duncan (1966:6) appears to acknowledge this for he comments wryly : 'It is safer to depend upon the algebra than on the verbal algorithm, at least until, one has mastered the art of reading path diagrams'. If the causal structure among a set of variables is known, however, and the values of the path coeff…
Occupational Prestige and the Social System
The Differences in an English and an American Rating of the Prestige of Occupations
N 1954 MONTAGUE AND PUSTILNIK reported the result of a social grading in Spokane, an American city, of the same occupations as those used by Hall and Jones.2 Their main interest was to test a number of features of the English study such as its correspondence with a standard classification of occupations, the consistency of the rankings in the middle range of occupations and the differences in rating by social level. Montague and Pustilnik in the …

Occupational Prestige and Social Status among Urban Africans in Northern Rhodesia
Opening ParagraphA significant aspect of the newly developed towns of Central and Southern Africa is the degree to which social relationships in certain situations are being organized in terms of social strata. It is not always easy, however, to secure data on the nature of the system of stratification-there are, in fact, very few substantial studies available. One method of approach, which promises to be fruitful, is through the study of the ran…
An Estimate of Fertility in Some Yao Hamlets in Liwonde District of Southern Nyasaland
Opening ParagraphKuczynski has drawn attention to the deplorable incompleteness of censuses of colonial populations. In order to make estimates of population trends among non-literate peoples, therefore, we have to rely on the analysis of samples drawn at random from the population as a whole. The difficulties to be surmounted even for so limited an objective are considerable
