The Anthropology of ChildhoodCherubs, Chattel, Changelings

David F. Lancy

Second edition

N. J. Enfield is a Professor at the University of Sydney and Radboud University Nijmegen, and is a Senior Staff Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics

Paul Kockelman is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Yale University.

Jack Sidnell is Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto.

The field of linguistic anthropology looks at human uniqueness and diversity through the lens of language, our species’ special combination of art and instinct. Human language both shapes, and is shaped by, our minds, societies, and cultural worlds.

This state-of-the-field survey covers a wide range of topics, approaches, and theories, such as the nature and function of language systems, the relationship between language and social interaction, and the place of language in the social life of communities. Promoting a broad vision of the subject, spanning a range of disciplines from linguistics to biology, from psychology to sociology and philosophy, this authoritative hand-book is an essential reference guide for students and researchers work-ing on language and culture across the social sciences.

“This extraordinarily stimulating book is a thoughtfully composed collection of fresh perspectives on five major themes in the anthropology of language.”

Anthony C. Woodbury, Department of Linguistics, University of Texas at Austin

“This collection not only spans an impressive range of linguistic and transdisciplinary topics, but also reflects the main centers of research and discovery in modern linguistic anthropology.”

Professor David F. Lancy, Utah State University

Author of The Anthropology of Childhood

The Anthropology of Childhood provides a comprehensive analysis

of childhood from a cross-cultural perspective. The findings of over

100 years of anthropological scholarship are carefully catalogued

and reviewed. From this review a portrait of childhood emerges

that is quite distinct from our common understanding in the West.

The work also offers numerous original insights into the nature of

childhood. The book will deeply engage readers whether advanced

scholars or first-year university students.

“ … it [is] possibly the only book that new parents will ever need”

Michael Erard, The New York Times

Professor Alessandro Duranti, University of California

Author of The Anthropology of Intentions

To what extent is our understanding of what people say based

on guessing what they are thinking as opposed to evaluating

the effects of their words? Over the last thirty years analytic

philosophers and linguistic anthropologists have answered

this question in radically different ways. Combining my own

field research with an original interpretation of the concepts

of intentionality and intersubjectivity, I propose an intentional

continuum that recognizes a more nuanced and context-sensitive

view of humans’ ability to “read other minds.”

“This work defines a beautiful adagio of a research career in anthropology”

George E. Marcus, University of California

The Anthropology of ChildhoodCherubs, Chattel, ChangelingsSecond editionDavid F. LancyUtah State University

Enriched with anecdotes from ethnography and the daily media, this revised edition examines family structure, reproduction, profiles of children’s caretakers, their treatment at different ages, their play, work, schooling, and transition to adulthood. The result is a nuanced and credible picture of childhood in different cultures, past and present.

‘… the most comprehensive, and perhaps only, review of the human child in terms of evolutionary biology and sociocultural anthropology. Based on the best of theory and field ethnography, it is essential for any study of human development and human nature.’Barry Bogin, Loughborough University

ChopsticksA Cultural and Culinary HistoryQ. Edward WangRowan University, New Jersey

Chopsticks have become a quintessential part of the Japanese, Chinese and Korean culinary experience across the globe, with more than one fifth of the world’s population using them daily to eat. In this vibrant, highly original account of the history of chopsticks, Q. Edward Wang charts their evolution from a simple eating implement in ancient times to their status as a much more complex, cultural symbol today. Opening in the Neolithic Age, at the first recorded use of chopsticks, the book surveys their practice through Chinese history, before exploring their transmission in the fifth century to other parts of Asia, including Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Mongolia. Calling upon a striking selection of artwork, the author illustrates how chopstick use has influenced Asian cuisine, and how, in turn the cuisine continues to influence chopstick use, both in Asia and across the globe.

Advance praise: ‘Questions you would have never thought to ask are expertly answered in this timely volume. The pages and chapters bring to light unique facets of Chinese life that are usually reserved for interrogation by focusing on the Chinese written language as a special East Asian ‘cultural sphere’.

By addressing chopsticks Wang neatly augments that sphere by adding culinary history to the cultural mix.’Benjamin A. Elman, Princeton University

Anthropologies of ClassPower, Practice, and InequalityEdited by James G. CarrierMax-Planck Institute for Social Anthropology

and Don KalbCentral European University, Budapest

Rising social, political and economic inequality has seen the restoration of the concept of ‘class’ to a prominent place in contemporary anthropological debates. This book explores the concept of class and its importance for understanding the key sources of that inequality and of people’s attempts to deal with it.

Advance praise: ‘This volume re-establishes class as a fundamental concept in anthropology and shows how inadequate identity-based analyses are. In excellent case studies and theoretical essays, it brilliantly demonstrates that understanding global and local property relations is central to the study of culture, politics and society.’Don Robotham, City University of New York Graduate Center

Genocide and Mass ViolenceMemory, Symptom, and RecoveryEdited by Devon E. HintonHarvard University, Massachusetts

and Alexander L. HintonRutgers University, New Jersey

What are the effects of mass trauma and genocide, and how does recovery occur? How do responses and recovery processes vary across cultural groups and historical periods? This book examines the effects of genocide and mass violence by scrutinizing the interconnections of personal and social memory, symptoms, and recovery processes.

Advance praise: ‘Fascinating, compelling and challenging, Genocide and Mass Violence is terrific for reading and teaching. Trauma is one of the great topics of our age, yet we still do not understand trauma deeply, and its effects are contested and debated. This collection gives us evidence and arguments to help us form our own perspective on mass violence and its long-term consequences. One of the most interesting collections of anthropological essays I have read in years.’Tanya Marie Luhrmann, Stanford University

Origins of PossessionOwning and Sharing in DevelopmentPhilippe RochatEmory University, Atlanta

The way in which we acquire and become attached to our possessions reveals both the similarities and differences between humans and other animals as psychological entities. This book discusses the psychology surrounding how humans experience possession, claim ownership, and share from both a developmental and cross-cultural perspective.

‘Throughout his work, Philippe Rochat attempts to identify what is uniquely human. In this book he yet again moves one step closer to a truly intellectually satisfying description. Origins of Possession is essential reading for all those of us who are in the profession of working with the human mind, particularly when it is troubled and is at risk of losing its essential qualities of self-awareness and symbolization. It is a highly significant contribution which builds on Rochat’s unparalleled


depth of understanding of child development to deliver a view of the nature and experience of possession that transcends development and individual differences – and illuminates both – whilst striking very close to what lies at the core of our experience of ourselves and of others as sentient beings.’Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis and Head, Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, University College London

This groundbreaking reconceptualization of attachment theory brings together leading scholars from psychology, anthropology and related fields to reformulate the theory to fit the cultural realities of our world. It will be of particular interest to scholars and graduate students interested in developmental psychology, developmental anthropology, evolutionary biology and cross-cultural psychology.

‘A much-needed collection of evolutionary, anthropological and psychological accounts of early relationship formation from the majority world which differ from

the classical Bowlby–Ainsworth attachment theory. It opens up a new agenda for research regarding early socio-emotional development.’Cigdem Kagitcibasi, Koç University, Istanbul

Anthropology of the BrainConsciousness, Culture, and Free WillRoger BartraUniversity of Mexico

This unique book shows that consciousness is a phenomenon that occurs not only in the mind but also in an external network, a symbolic system. He argues that the symbolic systems created by humans in art, language, in cooking or in dress, are the key to understanding human consciousness.

‘Anthropologist by training, and today a leading public intellectual and social theorist in Latin America, Roger Bartra here dextrously argues that the plasticity of cultural and social networks facilitate a ‘prosthetic’ connection to the brain and consciousness.’Matthew Gutmann, Brown University

Argues that the meaning of Greek myths can only be studied according to their artistic forms of expression. Using myths such as those of Persephone, Bellerophon, Helen and Teiresias, Claude Calame surveys Greek mythology as a category inseparable from the literature in which so much of it is found.

The Rani of JhansiGender, History, and Fable in IndiaHarleen SinghBrandeis University, Massachusetts

This book sifts through and theorizes the many British and Indian renditions of the Rani of Jhansi, a heroic figure, whose seeming mutability offers a nuanced evaluation of the fluid literary, cinematic, and cultural representations in colonial

and postcolonial discourses of sexuality, race, gender, caste, and religion.

‘It is one of the first works in the arena of South Asian studies to provide a feminist account of a rebellion against empire; a theme totally unique and much needed in explicating India’s complex relationship to Britain. Moreover, the author’s intellectual gambit of bypassing numerous routine, historico-political accounts that are regurgitated to bolster colonial and/or postcolonial theses is noteworthy.’Gita Rajan, Fairfield University

The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God in South AfricaA Church of StrangersIlana van WykUniversity of Cape Town

The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG), a church of Brazilian origin, has been enormously successful in establishing branches and attracting followers in post-apartheid South Africa. As an ethnography of people rather than of institutions, this book offers fresh insights into the mass PCC movement that has swept across Africa since the early 1990s.

‘In what is by far the most profound and wide-ranging study of one of the world’s most challenging and disconcerting religious phenomena, Ilana van Wyk has produced a truly engrossing work of ethnography. In

its triumphant march out of Brazil and across the globe, the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God attracts millions of followers, but also puzzlement, indignation and shock for its success with methods which seem at first sight to be utterly out of keeping with contemporary cultures. This book covers the controversial aspects one by one: money, demonic possession and exorcism; unbearable family tensions amidst poverty and AIDS; and the mysteries of the church’s internal dynamics. Some of the case material is deeply distressing, but the analytical fruits will be with us for a long time to come.’David Lehmann, University of Cambridge

It is the first volume to cover the topic from a globally diverse perspective, using case studies from Europe, Africa, Canada and the US to demonstrate how young people express their identities through language.

Advance praise: ‘Three points will make this volume a strong contribution to the sociolinguistics of youth identities in the twenty-first century: its inclusive approach to structure, practice and ideology as closely intertwined dimensions of linguistic study; its coverage of a broad range of languages, communities, and communicative contexts; and the comparative design of the individual chapters, which reveal fascinating, and sometimes unexpected, patterns of similarity and contrast.’Jannis Androutsopoulos, University of Hamburg

instinct. Human language both shapes, and is shaped by, our minds, societies, and cultural worlds. This state-of-the-field survey covers a wide range of topics, approaches and theories, such as the nature and function of language systems, the relationship between language and social interaction, and the place of language in the social life of communities. Promoting a broad vision of the subject, spanning a range of disciplines from linguistics to biology, from psychology to sociology and philosophy, this authoritative handbook is an essential reference guide for students and researchers working on language and culture across the social sciences.

‘Masquerading under the humble rubric of a ‘Handbook’, this stunning collection of original essays juxtaposes many of the central senior figures of linguistic anthropology with an impressive array of younger voices – including the editors themselves – shaking the mix further by sometimes unexpected but always provocative conjunctions of themes and expertise. It presents fresh evidence for why theoretical advances stemming from a preoccupation with language now inform the best of current anthropological thinking more widely. The collection not only spans an impressive range of linguistic and transdisciplinary topics, but also reflects the main centers of research and discovery in modern linguistic anthropology.’John B. Haviland, University of California, San Diego

Causes and Consequences of Human MigrationAn Evolutionary PerspectiveEdited by Michael H. CrawfordUniversity of Kansas

and Benjamin C. CampbellUniversity of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

Bringing together the latest research on the biology of population movement, Causes and Consequences of Human Migration features the evolutionary foundations of human migration. Numerous examples, including the origin of the Basques and the Caribbean slave trade, provide clear illustration of the causes and biological consequences of human migration.

‘No single volume can encompass every aspect of human long-distance migration, but this volume does a good job of providing a set of examples that look at the common questions of causes and consequences from diverse viewpoints. One of the major strengths of this book is the organization of most chapters by geographic region, making many chapters good resources for review. Another nice touch is the book’s preface which includes interesting

Constructing RaceThe Science of Bodies and Cultures in American AnthropologyTracy TeslowUniversity of Cincinnati

This book explores how physical anthropologists struggled to understand variation in bodies and cultures in the twentieth century, how they represented race to professional and lay publics, and how their efforts contributed to an

American formulation of race that has remained rooted in both bodies and cultures, as well as heredity and society.

‘Teslow’s scholarship is first-rate, and this lucidly written and persuasively argued book is a major contribution to the history of anthropology in the United States. After reading Constructing Race, historians will be less tempted to dismiss an earlier generation of physical anthropologists as benighted racists whose ‘bad science’ we think we have superseded and begin instead to investigate the many contradictions, dead-ends, and blind spots of a protean and malleable scientific discourse that, unfortunately, is still with us.’Alice Conklin, Ohio State University

Foreword by Steven Pinker

Why do people hurt and kill others, or themselves? This provocative book argues that people mostly commit violence because they feel that it is the morally right thing to do. Virtuous Violence shows how human nature, culture, and social relationships can generate violence – or nonviolence.

‘With its wealth of eye-opening ethnographic and historical comparisons and its contrarian but well-argued analyses, this book is a fascinating exploration of violence and a major contribution to our understanding of the human condition.’Steven Pinker
