"Gardner offers a vicarious anthropological experience as he describes his research trips to study the Paliyans of the tropical forests of India, the Dene in the Northwest Territories of Canada, and the sophisticated arts of India and Japan. Reveals both the scientific and the family dimensions of the ethnographer's experience"--Provided by publisher

AbstractThe Ulster‐Scots ethnolinguistic 'revival' in Northern Ireland has been appropriated, promoted, and internalized by many across the varieties of unionism and loyalism. Much of the academic literature on Ulster‐Scots has focused on political and cultural dimensions of the 'revival'. This article analyses the written promotion of the Ulster‐Scots movement by those who purport to conceptualize it primarily in terms of a literary‐linguistic revival. Through a close textual analysis of the Ulster‐Scots Language Society's journal, Ullans, I investigate where this part of the Ulster‐Scots 'revival' fits in the nexus of unionism and loyalism. Although Ullans does contain markers of the 'Protestant community', in general its Ulster‐Scots narrative fails to conform to any specific form of unionist ideology. Rather, this victimhood narrative may be more mimetic towards Irish linguo‐cultural promotion, defence, and legitimization than a development of various strands of endogenous unionist ideology.

Contrary to expectations (e.g. Bender 1978; Draper 1975; Kent 1989; 1990; Rafferty 1985), Paliyan foragers in south India remain relatively nonviolent when becoming sedentary. First, I review fifteen factors which are thought by others to pertain to disputes among foragers. Second, Paliyan beliefs and practices are examined regarding respect for the individual, avoidance of disrespect, and ways of handling of disrespect when it occurs. Third, I compare conflicts and means for managing them in a forest‐oriented band and a Paliyan village settled for about 150 years. Settled Paliyans have a slightly lower per capita frequency of episodes of conflict; while their conflicts are more severe, they are rarely serious. Finally, Paliyan data are reviewed with reference to the fifteen causal factors, six of which help explain continued nonviolence. Successful Paliyan peace‐keeping may be due in part to both the multiplicity of their safeguards and the prevention of positive feedback. In the long run, however, altered treatment of children foreshadows change.
