ABOUT THIS BOOK: Drawing upon the author's extensive field research among pastoral peoples in the Middle East, India, and the Mediterranean, and on more than 30 years of comparative study of pastoralists around the world, Pastoralists is an authoritative synthesis of the varieties of pastoral life. At an ethnographic level, the concise volume provides detailed analyses of divergent types of pastoral societies, including segmentary tribes, tribal chiefdoms, and peasant pastoralists. At the same time, it addresses a set of substantive theoretical issues: ecological and cultural variation, equality and inequality, hierarchy and the basis of power, and state power and resistance. The book validates "pastoralists" as a conceptual category even as it reveals the diversity of societies, subsistence strategies, and power arrangements subsumed by that term.(Publisher).

Arising In Academia And Reshaping Humanities And Social Sciences Disciplines, Postcolonial Theory Argues That Our Ideas About Foreigners, ? The Other,? Particularly Our Negative Ideas About Them, Are Determined Not By A True Will To Understand, But Rather By Our Desire To Conquer, Dominate, And Exploit Them. According To Postcolonial Theory, The Cause Of Poverty, Tyranny, And Misery In The World, And Of Failed Societies Around The World, Is Euro-American Imperialism And Colonialism. Previously Published As A Special Issue Of Israel Affairs, This Work Examines And Challenges Postcolonial Theory. In Scholarly, Research-Based Papers, The Specialist Authors Examine Various Facets Of Postcolonial Theory And Application. First, The Theoretical Assumption And Formulations Of Postcolonial Theory Are Scrutinized And Found Dubious. Second, The Deleterious Impact On Academic Disciplines Of Postcolonial Theory Is Demonstrated. Third, The Distorted Postcolonial View Of History, Its Obsession With Current Events To The Exclusion Of The Historical Basis Of Events, Is Exposed And Corrected. Fourth, An Examination Of Middle Eastern Culture Challenges The Assumption That These Societies Have Been Shaped Entirely, And Victimized, By Western Intrusion. Finally, Exploring The Arab-Israel Conflict, The One-Sided Case Of PostColonial Arabism Is Explored And Found To Be Faulty. = D/j: None. = No Odors, No Writing, No Names, No Rippling, Not Stuck Together, No Book Plate, Not X~Library, No Remainder Or Other Marks.

In an era of increasing interaction between the United States and the countries of the Middle East, it has become ever more important for Americans to understand the social forces that shape Middle Eastern cultures. Based on years of his own field research and the ethnographic reports of other scholars, anthropologist Philip Carl Salzman presents an incisive analysis of Middle Eastern culture that goes a long way toward explaining the gulf between Western and Middle Eastern cultural perspectives. Salzman focuses on two basic principles of tribal organisation that have become central principles of Middle Eastern life - balanced opposition (each group of whatever size and scope is opposed by a group of equal size and scope) and affiliation solidarity (always support those closer against those more distant). On the positive side, these pervasive structural principles support a decentralised social and political system based upon individual independence, autonomy, liberty, equality, and responsibility.But on the negative side, Salzman notes a pattern of contingent partisan loyalties, which results in an inbred orientation favouring particularism: an attitude of my tribe against the other tribe, my ethnic group against the different ethnic group, my religious community against another religious community. For each affiliation, there is always an enemy. Salzman argues that the particularism of Middle Eastern culture precludes universalism, rule of law, and constitutionalism, which all involve the measuring of actions against general criteria, irrespective of the affiliation of the particular actors. The result of this relentless partisan framework of thought has been the apparently unending conflict, both internal and external, that characterises the modern Middle East. islam tribes tribal culture.
