The Nuer Conquest: The Structure and Development of an Expansionist System
During the period from about 1818 to 1890 the Nuer increased their territorial domain fourfold. Their displacement of the Dinka (and Anuak) represents one of the most prominent instances of tribal imperialism contained in the ethnographic record. The primary objective of this study is to resolve the mystery of this sudden expansion and to provide answers to the four central questions posed by the conquest: 1) the proximate and underlying causes o…

The Role and Determinants of Bride-Price: The Case of a Palestinian Village [and Comments and Reply]
Economic analysis is used to examine the institution of bride-price. Supply and demand curves are developed in the context of the marriage market, and some hypotheses about the determinants of bride-price are derived. Using data collected by Granqvist in the Palestinian village of Artas, these hypotheses are tested by means of multiple regression analysis. The main explanatory variables are the productivity of the bride (measured by variables suc…
The Africans: An Ethnological Account
This book treats all of African social interaction as economic in this larger sense (including the various types of marriage, descent, kinship, and political organizations that characterize the continent), and develops a theory of the separation of culture and society that helps bring order to interpretation in ways never done before
Livestock and Equality in East Africa: The Economic Basis for Social Structure
This book is an introduction to East Africa as well as a treatise on stateless societies and the origins of states, especially with regard to hierarchy and equality as they emerge from the dynamics of an economic system. It is based on extensive fieldwork with the Pokot and Turu and describes and examines social and cultural traits characteristics of the area: languages, arts, and world view; patterns of production and exchange; marriage, descent…

Population, Production, and Culture in the Plains Societies of Northern Cameroon and Chad: The Anthropologist in Development Projects [and Comments]
In the context of an FAO seminar on agricultural planning and population, the author shows what the anthropologist can contribute to the analysis of this kind of problem. The case put forward is based on five years of field research in Chad and Cameroon from 1958 to 1976, among the Masa, Musey, Tuburi, and Kera. Their demography, production system, and social organization are examined. In a regional framework large enough to warrant a fresh plann…
Standardization and Measurement in Cultural Anthropology: A Neglected Area [and Comments and Reply]
One of the major problems facing anthropology as it continues to develop as a scientific discipline is the development of standardized research approaches. This article reviews the issues involved in the creation of standardized research procedures in the discipline. The relationship between cross-cultural comparison and the collection of field data is explored. The process of standardization, incliding the operationalization of concepts, the cre…
Prehistoric Transpacific Contact and the Theory of Culture Change
Employing genetic theory as an analog, the paper argues that when the concept of culture is separated from the concept of society, anthropology can be shown to have depended for culture-change theory on a genetic model, which predicts pre-Columbian contact between the Old and New World, a prediction which is supported by a growing list of cultural parallels. [prehistoric transpacific contact, culture, society, culture change, scientific explanati…

Marshall Sahlins: Stone Age Economist
A Naive Model of a Stone Age Economy [and Comments and Reply]
Image of Limited Good, or Expectation of Reciprocity? [and Comments and Reply]
Foster's limited-good model has been both widely accepted and roundly criticized. Upon superficial examination, certain behavior patterns among the Mopan Maya of southern Belize seem to reflect the presence of a limited-good cognition. With closer scrutiny, however, much contrary evidence emerges, and the behavior patterns in question appear, instead, to stem from what is tentatively termed the expectation of circumstantially balanced reciprocity…

Economic Development and Economic Change: The Case of East African Cattle [and Comments and Replies]
Exploring anew the old question of why East African pastoral peoples tend to be conservative, this paper suggests that a de-Westernized cross-cultural application of economic theory, both statics and dynamics, coupled with transaction theory, (social exchange), reveals a distinction between economic development, the exponential growth of a specific economy, and economic change, a shift from one specific kind of economy to another. Economic develo…
