摘要:

AbstractPostcolonial Latin America is generally read as incapable of spawning genuine developmental or national projects ‐ in part, owing to controlling élites’ obsessions with social order. By way of contrast, in discussing Peru's mid‐19th century age of guano this article reveals a genealogy of mounting élite concerns with diversifying, inclusive development. It was shifting social and national anxieties of liberal thinkers that produced this paradoxical imagined development

摘要:

AbstractAnthropological and ethnohistorical accounts of the Northwest Coast and Southeast Alaska have underemphasized the early and thorough industrialization of the area. This paper describes the transformation of Native families and community forms by small scale salmon‐canning firms in the late 19th and early 20th century, beginning with the building of the first salmon cannery in Klawock, Alaska, in 1878. Attention to the unmaking of past forms of obligation and expectation leads to an understanding of the volatility of specifically local histories in Native villages. Totem poles and tricycle races are both locations of ambiguous cultural production that are tied to these histories in overlapping and complex ways, and as such, they serve as metaphors for the larger processes at work in these town

摘要:

AbstractThis essay explores 'social banditry’ as a form of political practice in relation to distinct regimes of power; regional, national, and imperialist. The eastern region of the Dominican Republic experienced a rapid rise of land values and conversion of peasant smallholdings into sugar cane lields at the start of the twentieth century. Roving bands of ‘outlaws’ called‘gavilleros’appeared almost immediately, and came under increasing, and different, scrutiny during the years 1916–1924, when United States Marines occupied the Republic. This essay considers the political and social dimensions of gavillero conduct as it was transformed‐and transformed itself‐during the first quarter of the tw

摘要:

AbstractIn the middle of this century, Canadian state representatives transformed their conceptualization of the relationship between Inuit, education, and modernity. In the 1930s, Inuit were seen as destined to remain collectively insulated from the modem world, and education was considered either insignificant or dangerous. By 1955, Inuit were seen as destined to become fully modern citizens of Canada, and education was considered a moral and practical necessity. This discursive reversal was a response to the process of state formation in Northern Canada, and not an outcome of the changing functional requirements of global capitalism.

摘要:

AbstractThe history of the peasants of Languedoc has been marked by continual struggles to defend a livelihood against the combined forces of capitalist development and state integration. Constant references to this history of contentiousness in popular representations of the past have been critical in the emergence of a culture of opposition among the Languedoc peasantry. This paper explores the relationship between historical consciousness, identity construction and expressions of resistance in class and regionalist ideologies of political struggle in rural southern France.
