Variation in Swidden practices in four central Brazilian Indian societies
The Conditions Favoring Age-Set Organization
This paper examines several theories from the anthropological literature purporting to account for the existence of age-set systems, and tests one of these cross-culturally. Cross-cultural evidence does not support this theory, but rather supports an original theory herein presented that age-sets will develop in frequently warring societies where size and composition of the local group fluctuates greatly seasonally. Further evidence is presented …
Ecology and Acculturation Among Native Peoples of Central Brazil
Simple exposure to Western goods may not be a sufficient explanation of why isolated village communities increase their participation in external market economies. The degree of market participation by four native villages in central Brazil is related to the difficulty of making a living from slash-and-burn subsistence agriculture as measured by the ratio of labor input to food output.
