Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Aliens on Our Shores is a deep dive into the mutual perceptions of a group of Melanesian peoples -- egalitarian societies unknown to Europeans for thousands of years -- and successive waves of European explorers, traders, plantation owners, missionaries, and eventual conquerors. This anthropological history makes use of existing information on political, social, and cultural organization of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, villages, supplemented by the authors' comparative social research skills and original ethnographic fieldwork. Professor Rubel and Professor Rosman have gone through the archeological record, to understand who the New Irelanders were before contact with Europeans. They have searched travelers' reports for information on how the first 250 years of contact were interpreted, understood, or misunderstood, and strategies accordingly deployed -- by both parties to the encounters. They strive to find New Irelanders' voice and agency in travelers' detailed accounts. And they explore the ways that Europeans used long-standing myths and racist stereotypes (Noble Savage, Wild Man, Cannibal, Utopia) as they sought to build capital in world markets. This detailed history shows how capitalism and colonialism eventually demolished the political and economic autonomy of New Ireland peoples who seemed for more than two centuries to be in control of their contact situation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This is a detailed ethnographic study of food beliefs and practices in a rural community of Hassan District, Karnataka State (formerly Mysore), India. The author is an anthropological linguist who resided in the locality for almost two years in 1966-67. He provides the reader with an unusually detailed view of the intersections of language, food, and social relationships. Food is viewed as an important structuring aspect of the Hindu world view, a way that people symbolically represent and reproduce their own identities, gender relationships, and the differences among local castes and sub-castes. The role of foods and food exchange in weddings, ancestor ceremonies, and other family ceremonies is explored. The area visited no longer exists, having been submerged by a dam project'.…
