Among the Iteso, he observed, "some of the most important economic and residential ties between families are established through their women." This he attributed to the processes of soci…

The growth of the bureaucratic and authoritarian aspects of client chiefship is traced, along with chang…

The Structuring of Ethnicity
Joan Vincent's article, "The Structuring of Ethnicity," explores how ethnicity is not a primordial or static entity but rather a socially constructed and dynamic process. She argues that ethnicity is shaped by political and economic forces, particularly in situations of competition for resources or power. Vincent emphasizes the instrumental use of ethnicity, where individuals and groups manipulate ethnic identities to achieve specific goals. The …

Anthropology and Politics
In considering how anthropologists have chosen to look at and write about politics, Joan Vincent contends that the anthropological study of politics is itself a historical process. Intended not only as a representation but also as a reinterpretation, her study arises from questioning accepted views and unexamined assumptions. This wide-ranging, cross-disciplinary work is a critical review of the anthropological study of politics in the English-sp…

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…

Opening ParagraphPacemaking groups are characterized first by their success with the authorities; second, by their achievements in economic life; and, third, by their efficient mobilization and organization of supporters (Morris, 1968: 34). The existence of such groups tends to inhibit the emergence of occupational or class interests since less successful individuals attribute the success of the pacemaking group to their corporate ethnic solidari…
