The Integration of Americans of Indian Descent
When the members of two societies come into contact, changes in the direction of assimilation may occur on four different levels—biological, psychological, cultural, and structural, or, in more descriptive terms, amalgamation, identification, acculturation, and integration may take place. At present, most Indians favor integration but resist forced acculturation. The integration and cultural assimilation of Na tive Americans have been inhibited b…
Folk Medicine in Trinidad
ALTHOUGH MORE THAN A DOZEN Shango cult centers were visited in Trinidad, most of the data presented here I obtained from informants in a northeastern section (Belmont) and an eastern section (Lavantile) of Port of Spain; three towns along the Eastern Main Road: San Juan, Tacarigua, and Arouca -all within twelve miles of Port of Spain; and a rural section near Couva, a town situated thirty miles south of the capital.' All of my informants were low…

Baptismal, "Mourning," and "Building" Ceremonies of the Shouters in Trinidad
IN TRINIDAD, the Shouters, or Spiritual Baptists as they prefer to be called, are lower-class men and women, mainly of African descent, who belong to demonstrative, fundamentalist cult groups. Their conservative supernaturalism includes the five of the fundamentalist movement which flourished in the Protestant churches of the United States during the decade after World War I: the inerrancy of the Bible, the virgin birth of Jesus, the supernatural…

The Integration of Americans of Indian Descent
The place of Indians in American society may be seen as one aspect of the question of the integration of minority groups into the social system. Only by maintenance of freedom for cultural variation can a heterogeneous so ciety keep conflict at a minimum; individual freedom is a widely shared cultural value. Integration means a unity that permits differences and opposes only dif ferences that lead to discipline conflicts. It implies full equality…
Haiti's Social Structure
ALTHOUGH the social distance between the members of the small, privileged elite and the immense mass of barely subsisting peasants is tremendous, their lives and destinies are closely interwoven in the fabric of Haitian society. Membership in each of these social strata is determined more by birth than by personal achievement and there is a strict taboo on intermarriage. Racially, the two strata have the same general background except that the el…
We Shall Overcome
The Acculturative Process in Trinidadian Shango
Although Trinidad was discovered by Columbus in 1498 and some slaves from Africa were brought to the island a few years later, the population of this territory remained small until the end of the eighteenth century. After 1783, the descendants of the Spanish colonists were supplemented by colonists from France, the French islands of the Caribbean, and Canada. Most Trinidadian Negroes are only secondarily of African descent (Herskovits and Herskov…
Law and Social Change
The views of William Graham Sumner concerning law and social change have usually been dimissed with the assertion that he viewed the law as a wholly passive instrument. This is best tested by an examination of his propositions concerning the induction of arbitrary social changes by means of law. His intent was to specify the conditions under which such changes could be effected. Some of his conditions were circumstantial, that is, the extent to w…

Religious Changes in Southwestern Nigeria
No messianic movements have developed in southwestern Nigeria. With the exception of the separatist Aladura churches, there have been few, if any, religious movements of large scope in Nigeria. Examples of nativistic movements involving the use of traditional symbols expressively include the Ijo Orunmila religion and the Ogboni cult. In two reformative religious movements, the Atinga cult of the early 1950's and the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity, tr…

Race Relations and the Philadelphia Press
Few students of the newspaper would claim that the metropolitan dailies reflect accurately the social attitudes of the people in their circulation areas. The modern newspaper is a gigantic business venture which only the very wealthy can undertake. Consequently, on most matters the press presents the viewpoint of the elite rather than that of the masses. On fundamental economic and political issues it makes little difference which paper the reade…

Folk Tales of Haitian Heroes
Loup Garou and Loa Tales from Northern Haiti
Haitian loups garous are sorcerers who have the power to change themselves into dogs, horses, trees, and other animals or objects. The same term, with the same meaning, is found in France and in French Canadian areas. While some folk tales are told in Haiti simply for amusement, those about loups garous and loas are usually taken very seriously. Haitian peasants are individualistic and are inclined to suspect their neighbors of having malicious i…
