Minorities in American Anthropology: A Personal View
12. Minorities in American AnthropologyA Personal View David J. Banks America's historical minorities have been largely excluded from mainstream anthropology since the 1960s, and I will present my own experiences from the University of Chicago and elsewhere to help understand why. Let me begin by defining historical minority here in a narrow way, as including only those people of African American, Native American, Latino, and Pacific Islander gro…

Resurgent Islam and Malay rural culture: Malay novelists and the invention of culture
Prominent Malay novelists present Islam as a folk model that structures modern Malay peasant views of the Malaysian political system. Pious Muslim characters in these novels are symbols of the political potential of Islam; the novels themselves reflect a rejection, by many Malays, of democratic models of society that restrict religion to the personal sphere. Islamic resurgence is not solely an expression of social conflict. [Malay culture, Islam,…

Islam and inheritance in Malaya: Culture conflict or Islamic revolution
This essay examines the impact of the Islamic legal tradition on Malay ideas about the inheritance of property. It concludes that Muslim legal concepts have been fully incorporated into a Malay framework for the analysis of society and how it does and should work. Previous writers have seen Islam as part of a conflicting legal cultural dualism which opposes a harsh, male chauvinist and foreign Islamic law to a general fund of humane, Malay folk w…
Malay kinship terms and Morgan's Malayan terminology: The complexity of simplicity
In 1871, Lewis Henry Morgan described Malayan system of relationship as: the oldest form of consanguinity and affinity now existing upon earth (1871, p. 453) and simplest terminology among the several families of mankind (ibid., p. 453). This essay will examine Malayan elements of Malay kinship terms, studied during writer's stay in northwestern Malay state of Kedah during 1967-68, in order to reassess Morgan's attribution of extreme simplicity t…
Religion: Malay Poisons and Charm Cures. John D. Gimlette
Changing Kinship in North Malaya1
Data from Sik, a hill region of Kedah, a state in the northwestern corner of the Malay Peninsula, suggest that the increase in rural impoverishment due to demographic pressure on limited land resources has presented Malays with important challenges to "traditional" ideologies of social relationships. This paper suggests that rural Malay society is moving, under the influence of such pressures, toward a modern kinship ideology, but not without amb…
