Description:
Mexico: Monclem Ediciones, 2000 « This is one of the most important works about the culture of the ancient Mayas, as it contains information about buildings, the environment, customs, beliefs and history. It was written between 1563 and 1572 by Diego de Landa, a Franciscan friar who arrived in Yucatan shortly after the Conquest, and obtained his information from Indians and conquistadors through direct interviews, like any anthropologist. He was a controversial figure, since in addition to compiling this account, he devoted himself to combating ancient beliefs harshly to impose Christianity, leaving this valuable work for posterity, essential for knowledge of what Yucatan was like before and after the Conquest.».

Description:
Etats-Unis: University of Washington Press, 2003 The Western Canadian Arctic is a cold and seemingly barren wilderness. Yet for a thousand years it has been the homeland of a rich and accomplished people who call themselves Inuvialuit, "the real people." Hunters and fishers, their lives were enhanced by great annual hunts of beluga and bowhead whales. All that changed with the arrival of Americanwhalers in the 1890s. Decimated by disease and cultural dislocation, the Inuvialuit have successfully rebounded in the last fifty years, signing a major land claim agreement in 1984. This beautiful book is the definitive, illustrated history of one of North America's most interesting and least known Native people. Across Time and Tundra features over 120 imates, including many rare archival photos and exquisite works of art. The text includes traditional Inuvialuit stories and elders' remembrances of life long ago.. Hardcover. New/As New.

En 1934, ils étaient tous eskimo, chasseurs de phoques, pêcheurs, employés ; en 1965, ils sont devenus des Danois du Nord : fonctionnaires, assistés, quelques chasseurs encore. Tous bons luthériens, plus de famines, une assistance médicale hors pair, plus de sélection naturelle, une population qui a triplé en une génération. Mais, chez tous, quelque chose demeure : malgré un gibus de ramoneur scandinave on est chasseur de phoques le dimanche. Tel est le disparate assemblage créé par le jeu cruel de lhistoire. Pour leur souffrance et le déséquilibre du monde, grand nombre dhumains déchirés sont des "Eskimo-ramoneurs". Les gens dAmmassalik,… Read More

Le connaître, conformément à son espèce, comme être terrestre doué de raison, voilà donc qui mérite tout particulièrement d'être appelé connaissance du monde, bien que l'homme ne constitue qu'une partie des créatures terrestres. Une doctrine de la connaissance de l'homme, systématiquement traitée (anthropologie), peut l'être du point de vue physiologique ou du point de vue pragmatique. [.] Une telle… Read More

Description:
Australia: The Austrelian Museum, 1979 Frederick McCarthy was employed by the Australian Museum for 44 years and was the curator of the Anthropology department from 1941-1964. As early as 1938, McCarthy was responsive to the threat to aboriginal rock art and engravings. With his colleague, Sydney University's Professor Shellshear, he pushed for state legislation to protect and preserve Aboriginal sites. Despite continuing efforts, it was not until the 1970s that the commencement of legal protection of Aboriginal Heritage was realised. This is one of his most recognizable works, the result of his many years of study and personal insights into this seldom seen artifact of a lost time.. Soft cover. Fine.

Description:
Australia: Angus & Robertson Publishers, 1981 « Even yet the great majority of people do not realize that the culture and social customs of the Australian Aborigines are a unique survival from the distant past. What to us is only too often a treeless, desert waste, where the mirage mocks the weary traveller, is to them a homeland with a story or legend attached to every feature. In the fascinating pages of Brown Men and Red Sand the author takes us back into the remote past, and enables us to share in daily life of An anthropologist's well-written account of time spent among Aboriginal tribes in Central Australia in the 1930s and 40s. A marvellous and sensitive evocation of traditional Aboriginal culture just on the point of being completely diluted by mission lifestyles and incursions into tribal lands by white European settlers.».

Lorsque Inazo Nitobe écrivit Bushido, l'âme du Japon, au début du XXe siècle (vingt années seulement après la loi qui abrogeait l'existence officielle des samouraïs) son projet était de rendre compte d'un code de conduite qui plaidait en faveur d'une nation, d'un peuple, récemment bouleversé par l'intrusion de l'Occident dans son univers. Et pourtant ce texte va bien au-delà de la simple description d'une morale. Pour des raisons qui tiennent à son extrême qualité d'écriture mais aussi et surtout à l'image très noble, très émouvante, qu'il donne de cette chevalerie orientale, Bushido… Read More

Description:
U.S.A.: Univ Of Minnesota Press (Theory and History of Literature Series), 1986 « The author has collected, arranged, and annotated picture postcards of Algerian women produced and sent by the French during the first three decades of the 20th century. From this album emerges a powerful analysis of the distorting, denigrating effects of the French colonial presence on Algerian society. Alloula's reading of the pohotographs locates them in their historical context and examines them through the lens of contemporary critical theory. Women who will later be central to the fight for independence in Algeria are set up in the pohtographer's studio to represent the Frenchman's phantasm of the Oriental female and of life in the harem. The mundane uses of the postcard, short messages in to family and friends, make ethe staged portrayals of Algerian women all the more indsidious. As comic strips of colonial morality, the postcards circulated for thrity years and in 1981 Le Harem colonial was… Read More
