Resettling Displaced Communities
Global trends suggest that the number of people involuntarily displaced will increase exponentially in the coming decades. The authors argue that when the agency, time-tested adaptations, innovative capacities, dignity, and human rights of displaced people are respected as full participants in the rebuilding of their communities, livelihoods and standards of living, resettlement outcomes are more positive. The goal of resettlement must be the sus…
Multilateral Governmental Organizations
This chapter discusses the challenges of practicing anthropology in multilateral governmental organizations. It discusses in detail the culture of one such multilateral, the World Bank, and provides us with an account of the author's activities there as an anthropologist. The author discusses two consultancies on resettlement operations in projects, one in India and the other in Latin America. These and other consultancies convinced him that one …
Praxis and power
This article examines Prilleltensky's concept of psychopolitical validity in terms of its locus within the continuum of individual‐relational‐collective well‐being. It argues that the strength of Prilleltensky's position is its emphasis on the need for structural changes in power relationships rather than the imposition of ameliorative interventions. Political action, however, is necessary to advance human well‐being by reducing power inequities.…

Fieldschools as Applied Training Sessions
Of anthropology's many shibboleths, perhaps the most compelling is holism and its operational corollary of long-term field study in the language of informants. When combined with an evolutionary or developmental perspective, an holistic set of data can encompass the biological, cultural and historical processes that provide constraints and incentives on human behavior. This intellectual stance permits anthropologists to achieve comprehensive and …

Apropos of the Typological Model of Social Change
This article examines the evolution of the traditionalism-modernism model in Latin America and critically reviews several recent tests in the region that appear to suggest that the typology should be revised as a theoretical system explaining social change. With this statement as a general basis, five hypotheses are formulated, taking urbanization as the independent variable for attitude toward change, structural complexity, and social mobility. …
Anthropology and Development Planning
A development project "is alive, it changes its form and develops, or it declines" (Opler, Morris E. Social Aspects of Technical Assistance. p. 70. Amsterdam: UNESCO, 1954). Conditions in the natural history of a development project are different in its conception phase as compared to its construction phase, or two years after it is in operation, or a generation later—project objectives evolve, personnel come and go, interorganizational relations…
Banana County in the wake of United Fruit
The linkage approach to development studies is used to trace three community-level responses to the withdrawal of United Fruit Company from the old banana zone of Colombia: the reassertion of traditional cattle ranching, the innovation of rice agriculture, and the formation of peasant cooperatives
Standardization and Measurement in Cultural Anthropology
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…

Studying Voluntary Associations as Adaptive Mechanisms
In this paper an attempt is made to review selected anthropological studies of voluntary associations, in particular, and common-interest associations, in general. The aim is to show how these groups have been studied as adaptive mechanisms in situations of social, cultural, and technological change, especially in those types of change involving rapid urban growth and large-scale migrations of rural populations to towns and cities. The review is …
Canal Irrigation and Local Social Organization [and Comments and Reply]
Theory linking labor inputs of irrigation agriculture to social organization is briefly reviewed. Labor input is distinguished into five tasks: construction, maintenance, allocation, conflict resolution, and organization of ritual. A sample of world communities is canvassed in search of structural variation. A rationale for studying these phenomena in a local, rather than a society-wide, context is presented. Types of ties of the locality with th…
