Polyandry: Exotic Custom Vs. Analytic Concept
In: Journal of comparative family studies, Band 11, Heft 3, S. 377-383
ISSN: 1929-9850
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 are product of dissimilar underlying strategies and cultural values.
Social Categories and Social Interaction in Urban India1
In: American anthropologist: AA, Band 74, Heft 3, S. 567-586
ISSN: 1548-1433
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 variability and manipulability, the crucial importance of situation and audience, and the tenuous relationship between terminology and behavior were revealed.

Race, Caste, and Other Invidious Distinctions in Social Stratification
In: Race: the journal of the Institute of Race Relations, Heft 4, S. 385-414
ISSN: 0033-7277
The relationship between soc stratification & birth-ascribed soc identity is explored cross-culturally in response to the more specific question: is soc ranking by race distinctive or not? 5 societies are used as examples of birth-ascribed soc separation & inequality: Rwanda, India, Swat, Japan & the US. Each of several models & concepts which have been applied to systems of collective soc ranking are examined in some detail with reference to these societies: "stratification," "ethnic stratification," "caste," "race," "colonialism," "class," "pluralism," "hierarchy as symbolic interaction," & "sexual stratification." In each case, the structural & interactional similarities associated with birth-ascription as a basis for collective inequality are emphasized, & are contrasted with acquired status & individually based inequality. This leads to a discussion of the consequences of inherited inequality, wherein the nature of instit'ized inequality & oppression is examined, again in cross-cultural perspective, including those consequences which lead to change & emancipation. The conclusion is that "race," as the term is used in the US, Europe, & South Africa, is not qualitatively diff in its implications for human soc life, from caste in India & Swat, the "invisible" racial distinction in Japan, or the ethnic stratification of Rwanda, or the sexual stratification found in most societies. Where distinctions of this kind are employed, they affect people & the events which people generate in similar ways despite the diff historical & cultural conditions in which they occur. Exploitation & oppression seem to be universal concomitants of such systems, & rectification of these concomitants seems to be a universal & urgent aim of those who suffer them. Structural change--elimination of the system of birth-ascribed stratification itself & of its behavioral manifestations--is the only viable solution. AA.
