Discourses of Development: The View from Anthropology
The attention paid to development since the early 1980s seems ironic in that during the same period, anthropology in Britain and the United States became increasingly self-absorbed with postmodernism and reflexivity. The &s;development&s; investigated by social anthropologists generally involves directed social and economic change in a contemporary context, especially in the &s;Third World&s;, and indeed, that is the context within which all the …

Cultural Essentialism and Cultural Anxiety
`Culturespeak' (Hannerz) is everywhere, but what is `loose on the streets', says Wikan, is typically an `old model' of culture, which `anthropologists have done their share to spread'. Whereas she wants to denounce this model (and reproach anthropologists for endorsing it), we should try to understand how and why, not just culture, but essentialist versions of culture have such popular grip; and why anxiety about `our' culture now seems ubiquitou…
Plural cities in comparative perspective
Adopting a comparative perspective, the article focuses on ethnically heterogeneous cities as sites shaped by political economy, and asks whether varieties of the plural city can be mapped against varieties of polity. Four ideotypical configurations of city, society and polity (preindustrial-patrimonial, colonial, modern-industrial-capitalist, neoliberal-postmodern-global) are discussed in terms of their modalities of ethnicity. In preindustrial-…
Pluralism and the Politics of Difference: State, Culture, and Ethnicity in Comparative Perspective
How do political processes, working through the authoritative institutions of society (the state), shape and reproduce difference? How do societies cope with ethnic and cultural diversity? Ernest Gellner observed that culturally and ethnically plural societies ‘worked well in the past’ but not under modern conditions. Comparison of anthropological and other data on ethnic and cultural pluralism in various historical configurations of state and so…

Language The genius of this work is the integration of the linguistic analysis with the cultural and political analysis. Latin American Anthr…
Ideologies and Institutions in Urban France: The Representation of Immigrants
Celtic Ethnic Kinship and the Problem of Being English [and Comments and Replies]
Breton, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, and Irish and Scottish Gaelic are all "Celtic" languages. The definition of certain languages as "Celtic" is widely taken to imply a distinct category of people, the Celts, who have ties of language, culture, and flesh and blood, and who share a common external subjection which has largely destroyed their culture and their language and the people themselves. This paper attempts a structural, ethnographic account of t…

In this book, based on intensive fieldwork in a major French provincial city (Lyon), Grillo shows how an anthropological perspective enhances our understanding of institutional processes and ideological forces in industrial society, presenting a detailed account of relations between the indigenous French population and immigrant workers and their families of non-French origin. The framework of the book is provided by two linked themes. First, the…
