An Anthropological Approach to Family Studies
The field of family studies is one that has become identified with sociologists rather than anthropologists, and even among sociologists it is sometimes viewed as the highly specialized field of practical problems in applied soci ology rather than the more general and theoretical treatment of cultural dynamics. One might ask, therefore, just what can anthropology contribute to this field, since anthropologists have, in fact, neglected the field …

Life in a Mexican Village
This article revisits Robert Redfield's classic ethnographic study of Tepoztlán, Mexico, conducted in the 1920s. Oscar Lewis, known for his "culture of poverty" thesis, restudied Tepoztlán in the 1940s and published a highly critical account that challenged Redfield's portrayal of the village as a harmonious, integrated community. This piece offers a review of Lewis's restudy, examining his findings on factionalism, social stratification, and ind…

Comparisons in Cultural Anthropology
This article explores the nature of comparison in cultural anthropology, examining its uses, limitations, and potential. Lewis argues that controlled comparison, focusing on specific aspects of culture rather than entire cultures, is essential for developing valid generalizations and advancing anthropological theory. He discusses various types of comparison, including cross-cultural, intra-cultural, and historical comparisons, and emphasizes the …

Some of My Best Friends Are Peasants
I am grateful to the editor of Human Organization for inviting my comments on this excellent article by George Foster, who has brought together many examples of the poor quality of interpersonal relations in peasant communities and has offered some stimulating hypotheses for our consideration. Foster might have made his case even stronger by citations on peasantry from the works of such great novelists as Balzac, Zola, Gogol, Reymont, Turgenev, a…
An Anthropological Approach to Family Studies
The anthropological approach to family studies is defined in terms of intensive case studies of families as functioning wholes, utilizing all the conceptual categories and methods generally employed in studies of the total culture. Family case studies of this type are particularly useful for problems in the field of culture and personality. They provide a level of description intermediate between the conceptual extremes of the individual at one p…

Some Sculptured Artifacts from Eastern Montana
Three peculiar carved stone objects from eastern Montana merit mention, because carved biomorphic forms are otherwise almost entirely absent from this area (Fig. 27).One was found on the surface about twenty miles south of Glendive, Montana. It is a vaguely trapezoidal piece of rather hard pumice 4.7 inches high, 5.1 inches wide, and 3.5 inches thick, which had been smoothed throughout, apparently with a rubbing stone, though on the back and side…
Some Early Types of Points from the Lower Yellowstone Country

As some of the types represented are those which have been found to have considerable antiquity elsewhere and the complex is similar to that recorded in Pictograph Cave I, a cultural horizon buried under two other prehistoric and one historic horizon at Pictograph Cave near Billin…

Family Dynamics in a Mexican Village
This article presents preliminary findings from a restudy of the Mexican village of Tepoztlán, focusing on family dynamics.

He explores the impact of economic and social changes on family life, including the increasing importance of wage labor and migration. The article highlights the persistence of traditional family values alongside…
