Social Inequality
Polyandry
Polyandry has long fascinated anthropologists because it is both exotic and disturbing; its presence obscures recognition of all other aspects of a society's marital system. Although previous studies have failed to pinpoint any significant uniformities in the phenomena labelled polyandry, the availability of new data may suggest a pattern of significant similarities and differences, such as in the Pahari and Tibetan cases. Here the differences ar…

Scale and Social Relations [and Comments and Reply]
Scale," a term referring to size and/or complexity, is a societal dimension frequently employed and generally regarded as important but rarely systematically investigated. This paper provides a critical overview of the meanings which have been attached to the concept and the implications they carry. Special attention is paid here to the diverse literature dealing with the contrast between societies characterized by such polar terms as Gemeinschaf…
Ecology, Demography and Domestic Strategies in the Western Himalayas
Ethnographic research and house-by-house census data provide the basis for a study of changing ecology and demography, their interrelationship and their social organizational implications in a Himalayan Hindu farming village and its region over a 15-year period. Among the processes analyzed are: modest population increase among land-owning high castes as contrasted to net population decrease among exploited low castes; relatively low fertility ra…

Himalayan polyandry and the domestic cycle 1
The fraternal polyandry of Jaunsar Bawar in the western Himalayas of India is described by examining the domestic groups it creates. The form and composition of these groups vary within the society so that structures commonly associated with the terms monogamy, polygyny, and group marriage, as well as polyandry and polygynandry, occur simultaneously in any community and, over time, in many families. All are manifestations of a single set of princ…
Brain Damage and the Intellectual Defense of Inequality [and Comments and Reply]
Our purpose is to expose the complicity of the human sciences in perpetuating inequality and to make a start toward ending this complicity. The learned debate about the nature of inequality in class and ethnically stratified societies is a spurious controversy. All major positions, ranging from biological determinism associated with conservative ideologies to environmentalism linked with liberal politics, are actually rationalizations for the sta…
Patterns of Dominance
Social Categories and Social Interaction in Urban India1
Categories into which people classify themselves and others in a North Indian city were collected, together with identifying characteristics and stereotypes. Utilizing a symbolic interactionist perspective, these were analyzed with reference to social behavior: the manner in which interaction was conditioned or influenced by the system of social categories and the meanings attached to them. The complexity of the terminological system, its variabi…

Is Anthropology Alive? Social Responsibility in Social Anthropology
This article challenges the prevailing notion of anthropological objectivity, arguing that anthropologists have a social responsibility to address issues of power, inequality, and social justice. Berreman critiques the tendency of some anthropologists to detach themselves from the political implications of their research, particularly in the context of colonialism and neocolonialism. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and representing …
Race, Caste, and Other Invidious Distinctions in Social Stratification
Caste in India and the United States
Caste in defined in such a way as to be useful cross-culturally. Comparison of race relations in the southern United States and relations between the untouchables and other castes in India demonstrates that the two systems are closely similar in operation despite differences of content. Low-caste status in India, as in America, is actively resented. Research emphasis upon the realities of structure and process as revealed by cross-cultural studie…
Anemic and Emetic Analyses in Social Anthropology
A delivered before the Southwestern Anthropological Association meetings, spring 1965, a gentleman came to me and suggested helpfully that I might use a framework for the comparative study of caste which would be based on emic, etic and allo concepts.This experience, on brief reflection, inspired me to the title and topic of this essay, which I presented orally before the Kroeber Anthropological Society's ninth annual meeting at Berkeley, on May …

Homo Hierarchicus
Louis Dumont's modern classic, here presented in an enlarged, revised, and corrected second edition, simultaneously supplies that reader with the most cogent statement on the Indian caste system and its organizing principles and a provocative advance in the comparison of societies on the basis of their underlying ideologies. Dumont moves gracefully from the ethnographic data to the level of the hierarchical ideology encrusted in ancient religious…
Peoples and Cultures of the Himalayas
Recent events have focused interest on history, politics and strategic situation of Himalayas, but peoples who live in this spectacular region have been largely overlooked. There is no source to which one can go to find out who these people are or how they relate to one another and to populations bordering their homelands. This essay attempts to provide such a source in brief outline. The Himalayas form an arc more than 1,500 miles long, 150 to 2…

The roles of various castes (jatis) in Hindu religious activities have been of interest to many students of rural Indian society. As a result, we are quite familiar with the patterns of ceremonial activity of Brahmin priests and of other participants in Brahmanical ritual such as temple keepers of various castes, barbers, carpenters, musicians, etc. (Dube, 1955; Opler and Singh, 1948; Planalp, 1956; Srinivas, 1952). Many of these patterns of reli…

Fear Itself
Effects of a Technological Change in an Aleutian Village
In Nikolski a community of 56 Aleuts on Umnak Island, the large wooden dory, introduced by Americans, has superseded the bidarky, traditional one-man skin boat. Social and economic changes accompanying this shift are described. A self-sufficient economy based on sea hunting, traditional skills, and cooperative effort is replaced by individual dependence on cash income from outside, often unreliable sources. The breakdown in family mores and disin…

Caste and Community Development
The social scientist who studies a program of planned change as vast as India's Community Development Program is likely to be overwhelmed by its complexity. As a result, he may take refuge in minute local details or in gross generalizations, either of which may be of little interest to those responsible for carrying out the program. At the risk of the latter fault, I will attempt to generalize on the basis of local details in such a way as to poi…
