Content: The Taiwan Hokkien collection consists of 64 documents, all in English. None of the 64 documents maybe considered a comprehensive general survey of Taiwanese Hokkien culture or society. Given the variability of cultural forms among Hokkien, in such institutional realms for example, as kinship and religion, it is doubtful that such a survey could even be written. Yet it is precisely this variability, and the highly sophisticated use of social theory employed in many of these documents, that make this collection extremely rich for cross-cultural or comparative studies (researchers should check for time and place coverage to determine the specific collection focus for the document he or she is using, since the generalizations made by authors often apply only to specific fieldwork locales rather than to the entire collection unit). Specific areas of inquiry for which the cross-cultural researcher will find this collection rewarding include the relationship between varieties of religious belief and community structure, the relationship of ecology and settlement patterns to lineage organization, and patterns of family/household organization

Content: The Bemba are the largest ethnic group in the Northern Province of Zambia. This file includes nine works. Five of these are by Audrey Richards, a British social anthropologist and major authority on the Bemba. Richards carried out her field work in a two-and-a-half-year period between 1930 and 1934. Her major ethnography is primarily a functional analysis of Bemba subsistence activities and diet as related to the kinship system, political organization, ceremonial life, and values. Her other works included here are an analytical study of the Bamucapi, or witch-finders movement; the origin and functions of ritual sib relationships among the Bemba and the closely allied Bisa; a good general description of the Bemba political system; and a description and interpretation of the chisungu [cisungu], or girl's initiation ceremony. A colonial administrator, William Brelsford, provides a study of the succession of Bemba chiefs. The missionary H. Barnes provides an early account and commentary on the Bemba belief in the soul and its relation to the naming system. Two later studies examine the impact of Christianity on Bemba society and culture

Content: This collection about the Zuni, a pueblo Indian group located in the southwestern United States, consists of 33 documents. The collection is oriented toward traditional Zuni ethnography represented by the classic works of Stevenson, Cushing, Kroeber, Parsons, Bunzel, and Woodbury. The social and political organization of the Zuni are covered in Ladd, Eggan, Eggan and Pandey, and Pandey. Kinship is discussed in Kroeber, Schneider, and Ladd; and agriculture is covered by Cushing, Bohrer, and Damp. Acculturation and culture change are topics of focus in McFeat, Leighton, Mills, and Eggan and Pandey. Other ethnographic subjects covered in this collection are kachinas, family and household, and ceramics. Wyaco wrote an autobiographical account of growing up in the Zuni society, and Pandey critiques various anthropologists' work with the Zuni over the years. The Zuni, who call themselves "A shiwi," are primarily concentrated in the single village or pueblo of Zuni situated on a reservation in west-central New Mexico

Content: The Saramaka are one of six Maroon (or Bush Negro) groups in Suriname. The Saramaka live in the northern extension of the Amazonian forest along the upper Suriname River and its tributaries, the Gaánlío and the Pikílío, and -- since the 1960s -- along the lower Suriname River in villages constructed by the national government after the flooding of approximately half of tribal territory for a hydroelectric project. This file contains six documents, including five books by the anthropologists Sally and Richard Price. The earliest work is a travelogue-like account of Saramaccan beliefs and practices by the anthropologists Melville and Frances Herskovits, who did their field work in 1928 and 1929. Two of the books by Richard Price are histories based on oral and written accounts and cover the period from the establishment of the plantations in Suriname, in the late 1600s, to the Peace of 1762 (Price, R. 1983) and the following period from 1762 to 1820 (Price, R. 1990). Also included is Richard Price's published dissertation on Saramaccan social structure and organization, Sally Price's work on Saramaccan art and gender relations, and a work the Prices co-authored about Saramaccan folk-telling

Content: Gusii or Abagusii is the people's name for themselves. The Gusii are divided into seven clan clusters: Kitutu (Getutu), North Mugirango, South Mugirango, Majoge, Wanjare (Nchari), Bassi, and Nyaribari. Gusiiland is located in western Kenya, 50 kilometers east of Lake Victoria. This collection of 32 English language documents deals with the Gusii people of Kisii District in southwestern Kenya. The major time span covered is approximately one hundred years ranging from about 1900 to 2001, with a focus on the years of 1950-1976. Only one study in this collection (Hakansson, 1994) deals with the pre-colonial period (i.e., pre-1907); specifically with the relationship between agricultural production and grain and cattle exchange. Two studies provide some degree of general ethnographic coverage; these are LeVine 1966 and 1994. In addition the LeVines (Robert and Sarah) provide a wealth of information on infant and child care and development. Other ethnographic topics covered in this collection are: bride-wealth as a significant feature of Gusii marriage arrangements in Mayer, 1950 and Hakansson, 1988 and 1990; kinship in Mayer, 1949 and 1965; witchcraft and sorcery in LeVine, 1963 and Ogembo, 2001; gender in Hakansson and LeVine, 1997, and Hakansson, 1994; and sex offenses and social control in LeVine, 1959 and 1980. Eight documents are from the text, Child Care and culture: Lessons from Africa

Content: The NT18 Tewa Pueblos documents, all in English, cover a time span from approximately 1540 to the late twentieth century. Although this collection does deal to some extent with most of the Tewa pueblos of New Mexico – San Juan, Santa Clara, San Ildefonso, Tesuque, Pojoaque, and Nambe - major emphasis in this document is on the two pueblos of San Juan and San Ildefonso. A "classic" study of traditional Tewa ethnography, at least up to 1927, is found in Parsons, focusing on social organization, ritual, and ceremonies, but lacking much information on material culture. Brief culture summaries on some of the other pueblos will be found as follows: San Ildefonso; Santa Clara; Nambe; Pojoaque; Tesuque; and San Juan. Other major topics include population statistics on San Juan in Aberle; recent (twentieth century) culture change in San Ildefonso in Whitman; Tewa world view and the role of dual moiety organization in a functioning society in Ortiz; and details of the Raingod Drama, and the making of medicine men in San Juan in Laski

Content: The Luo collection covers cultural, historical, economic and demographic information circa 1895 to 2000. There are a number of general ethnographies on Luo culture and society as observed by professional anthropologists in late the 1920s to the mid-1930s. Specific themes covered in these works include tribes, kinship and social organization, marriage and sex restrictions, religion, life cycles and burials. These ethnographic accounts are further supplemented by the works of historian Jean Hay, discussing changes in material culture and gender relations that took place before the Second World War as a direct result of British colonial rule and the complex forces it set in motion. The collection also includes anthropological works that specifically focus on the post Second World War decade with particular emphasis on dynamics of lineage and family ties, customary law and Luo attitudes toward homicide and suicide. Other documents in the collection focus on the actual experiences of Luo men and women with urbanization and nationally designed development programs in the post-independence period (1963-2000). Specific themes covered include Luo responses to urbanization, modern education and population growth, changes in public health and nutrition, land policy, and the local effects of labor migration and global market forces; and misguided development programs. The remaining documents by Blount provide a linguistic analysis of Luo genealogical accounting, personal naming systems, and comprehensive bibliographic information of existing works on Luo culture and society, circa 1920-2000

Content: The Kuna file consists of twenty-seven documents, ranging in time coverage from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries. Although based on field work in 1927, the six Nordenskiöld documents in this file provide excellent ethnographic coverage on the traditional San Blas Kuna. The remaining documents in the file cover religion, medicine and curing practices, language and speech, Kuna music, socio-cultural change, tales and myths, acculturation, the 1925 revolt, the Kuna political system, the commercialization of women's clothing (the MOLA), albinism and genetics
