In the early sixties, South Africa's colonial policies in Namibia
served as a testing ground for many key features of its repressive
'Grand Apartheid' infrastructure, including strategies for
countering anti-apartheid resistance. Exposing the role that
anthropologists played, this book analyses how the knowledge used
to justify and implement apartheid was created. Understanding these
practices and the ways in which South Africa's experiences in
Namibia influenced later policy at home is also critically
evaluated, as is the matter of adjudicating the many South African
anthropologists who supported the regime.

Adventure is currently enjoying enormous interest in public
culture. The image of Tarzan provides a rewarding lens through
which to explore this phenomenon. In their day, Edgar Rice
Burrough's novels enjoyed great popularity because Tarzan
represented the consummate colonial-era adventurer: a white man
whose noble civility enabled him to communicate with and control
savage peoples and animals. The contemporary Tarzan of movies and
cartoons is in many ways just as popular, but carries different
connotations. Tarzan is now the consummate "eco-tourist:" a
cosmopolitan striving to live in harmony with nature, using
appropriate technology, and helpful to the natives who cannot seem
to solve their own problems. Tarzan is still an icon of adventure,
because like all adventurers, his actions have universal qualities:
doing something previously untried, revealing the previously
undiscovered, and experiencing the unadulterated. Prominent
anthropologists have come together in this volume to reflect on
various aspects of this phenomenon and to discuss contemporary
forms of adventure.
"An important strength of this collection is the ethnographic
grounding of the chapters, which directly engage rich ethnographic
understandings with Simmel's work. This book is a useful addition
to the anthropological literature on travel and tourism, and it is
a pleasurable adventure to read." . American Anthropologist

In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved
the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable.
Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, motor vehicles, air travel, and
television transformed households and workplaces. But has that era
of unprecedented growth come to an end? Weaving together a vivid
narrative, historical anecdotes, and economic analysis, The Rise
and Fall of American Growth challenges the view that economic
growth will continue unabated, and demonstrates that the
life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 cannot be
repeated. Gordon contends that the nation's productivity growth
will be further held back by the headwinds of rising inequality,
stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of
college students and the federal government, and that we must find
new solutions. A critical voice in the most pressing debates of our
time, The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to
a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to
come.

In recent decades the American economy has experienced the worst
peace-time inflation in its history and the highest unemployment
rate since the Great Depression. These circumstances have prompted
renewed interest in the concept of business cycles, which Joseph
Schumpeter suggested are like the beat of the heart, of the essence
of the organism that displays them. In The American Business Cycle,
some of the most prominent macroeconomics in the United States
focuses on the questions, To what extent are business cycles
propelled by external shocks? How have post-1946 cycles differed
from earlier cycles? And, what are the major factors that
contribute to business cycles? They extend their investigation in
some areas as far back as 1875 to afford a deeper understanding of
both economic history and the most recent economic fluctuations.
Seven papers address specific aspects of economic activity:
consumption, investment, inventory change, fiscal policy, monetary
behavior, open economy, and the labor market. Five papers focus on
aggregate economic activity. In a number of cases, the papers
present findings that challenge widely accepted models and
assumptions. In addition to its substantive findings, The American
Business Cycle includes an appendix containing both the first
published history of the NBER business-cycle dating chronology and
many previously unpublished historical data series.
Anthropology, having progressed from being a colonial exercise to a
post-colonial tool for intellectual rebirth, and with its central
concern with culture and its fieldwork-based approach, must be
central to the dialogue about Africa's future. This volume proceeds
from a conference of the Association for Anthropology in Southern
Africa to assess the state, status and future of anthropology in
Southern Africa. It is inspired by the concept of the African
Renaissance coined by Thabo Mbeki, and his implied intellectual
call to arms to face problems within the African continent by using
African ideals, institutions and intelligentsia; and in its diverse
responses it is an effort to strengthen the movement. The essays
are grouped into sections on: rethinking anthropology; the
reinvention of culture and tradition; perspectives on gender and
youth; the place of anthropology in development; and land, space
and landscapes. Particular weight is given to medical anthropology,
and anthropology with applications for development.
2019 Choice Outstanding Academic Title The Enigma of Max Gluckman
examines one of the most influential British anthropologists of the
twentieth century. South African-born Max Gluckman was the founder
of what became known as the Manchester School of social
anthropology, a key figure in the anthropology of anticolonialism
and conflict theory in southern Africa, and one of the most
prolific structuralist and Marxist anthropologists of his
generation. From his position at Oxford University as graduate
student and lecturer to his career at Manchester, Gluckman was
known to be generous and engaged with his closest colleagues but
brutish and hostile in his denunciations of their work if it did
not contribute to the social justice and activist vision he held
for the discipline. Conventional histories of anthropology have
treated Gluckman as an outlier from mainstream British social
anthropology based on his career at the University of Manchester
and his gruff manner. He was certainly not the colonial gentleman
typical of his British colleagues in the field. Gluckman was deeply
engaged with field research in southern Africa on the Zulus, in
Barotseland with the Lozi, and also in connection with his
directorship of the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute from 1941 to 1947,
which obscured his growing critique of anthropology's methods and
ties to Western colonialism and racial oppression in the
subcontinent. Robert J. Gordon's biography skillfully reexamines
the colorful life of Max Gluckman and restores his career in the
British anthropological tradition.
