Volume 37 of REA features eleven original articles organized in
four different sections, each focusing on a specific, popular and
significant theme in economic anthropology: production, exchange,
vending, and tourism. The first section investigates the brewing
(and selling) of homemade beer among Maragoli women in western
Kenya, continuity and change in small-scale family farming in a
rural part of Costa Rica, and theoretical models of the transitions
to farming that marked the Neolithic Revolution. The second
section, on exchange, opens with another archaeological
examination-of relationships between long-distance exchange and the
centralization of political power in Pre-Columbian America. This
section also explores adaptations of the Ten Thousand Villages fair
trade organization following the recent global recession, exchanges
and "productive leisure" at North Market in Columbus, Ohio, and
social values in flux over problems relating to exchange amidst
conditions of scarcity in the Solomon Islands. The third section
investigates the plight and adaptations of vendors in a southern
Chinese city and on a Mexican beach, drawing attention to the
effects of both national government policies and international
trade agreements on their lives. The volume closes with a section
that considers important and timely issues in tourism-the role of
debt in commission-based relationships between showroom owners and
tour guides in Agra, India, and risk, resilience, health, and
government policy in Jamaica's sex tourism industry.
