Women, Technology, and International Development Ideologies: Analyzing Feminist Voices
Narrating Cultural Resurgence: Genre and Self-Representation for Pan-Mayan Writers
The public intellectuals involved in Guatemala&s;s Pan-Mayan movement critique the ethics and politics of foreign anthropology and openly reject interview-based research and the ethnographic genre for their own writings. The Guatemala of Montejo&s;s testimony is the tourist paradise of colorful weavings and isolated peasant villages awaiting Western development, but rather a world of "contact zones," social spaces where disparate cultures meet, c…

The Practice of Human Rights: Tracking Law between the Global and the Local
Human rights are now the dominant approach to social justice globally. But how do human rights work? What do they do? Drawing on anthropological studies of human rights work from around the world, this book examines human rights in practice. It shows how groups and organizations mobilize human rights language in a variety of local settings, often differently from those imagined by human rights law itself. The case studies reveal the contradiction…
Writing gendered memories of repression in Northern Ireland: Begoña Aretxaga at the doors of the prison
This article explores Begoña Aretxaga's research on women, nationalism and political subjectivity in Northern Ireland during `the troubles' by considering her writings as a field worker as they bear on her work as an ethnographer and theoretical innovator. My goal is to illustrate the knowledge production and representational strategies integral to Aretxaga's analysis of violence, state power, and politicized ethnic minorities in European democra…
Indigenous Movements in Latin America, 1992–2004: Controversies, Ironies, New Directions
This review examines literature on indigenous movements in Latin America from 1992 to 2004. It addresses ethnic identity and ethnic activism, in particular the reindianization processes occurring in indigenous communities throughout the region. We explore the impact that states and indigenous mobilizing efforts have had on each other, as well as the role of transnational nongovernmental organizations and para-statal organizations, neoliberalism m…
Repositioning without Capitulation: Discussions with June Nash on Identity, Activism and Politics
June Nash's work spans 50 years of anthropology and reflects important transformations in geopolitics, economic globalization, anthropological theory, and the people and societies we study. Nash's creativity reveals itself as inherently oppositional, even when she has written within major research paradigms. I argue that if we use the concept of 'repositioning' to examine the life work of an anthropologist, the notion of stable schools, paradigms…

New Directions in Systems Theory: Chaos and Complexity
Systems theory has greatly advanced during the past two decades. Chaos and complexity theory and their accompanying research methods provide a new way to understand systems theory and advance more sophisticated mathematical methods for studying complex human systems. Often termed “nonlinear dynamics” because they seek to understand systems that change in ways that are not amenable to the linear cause and effect models familiar to social scientist…
Outdated Practitioner Views about Family Culpability and Severe Mental Disorders
Current theories and research about the etiology and treatment of psychotic disorders increasingly point to the importance of biological factors. Accompanying this shift in the etiological literature has been an accumulation of evidence indicating the need to move away from treatment modalities that make families of people with psychotic disorders feel culpable in the causation or perpetuation of their relatives' disorders. The current study repo…

Women of the Andes: Patriarchy and Social Change in Two Peruvian Towns
Pilar is a capable, energetic merchant in the small, Peruvian highland settlement of Chiuchin. Genovena, an unmarried day laborer in the same town, faces an impoverished old age without children to support her. Carmen is the wife of a prosperous farmer in the agricultural community of Mayobamba, eleven thousand feet above Chiuchin in the Andean sierra. Mariana, a madre soltera—single mother—without a husband or communal land of her own, also resi…
Democracy Without Peace: The Cultural Politics of Terror in Peru
The twelve years of military rule in Peru between 1968 and 1980 witnessed few abuses of human rights, in marked contrast to the activities of military governments in Southern Cone countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Yet paradoxically, the return to democracy in Peru, with the election of Fernando Belaúnde in 1980 and Alan García in 1985, has brought sharp escalations in political violence and terror. Guerrilla activity by the Sendero Lum…
