‎xiv313 pages with tables and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" issued in red cloth with black lettering to spine and embossed Columbia University seal on front cover. Foreword by Clark Wissler. 1st edition.<br /><br />This is an account of the disintegration and partial reintegration of an Indian tribe under the domination of the white man. Margaret Mead lived for several months on a reservation on the Western Plains gained the confidence of the Indians and presents her findings in this authentic first-hand record. Many years of patient research have been given to recording and understanding what aboriginal cultures were before and during the early period of contact of the Indian and the white man with scarcely a though as to what has happened since. Mead is the first student of culture history to bring up to date certain aspects of this account - notably the woman question. She has given the Indian woman particular attention because preliminary observation raises the untrue assumption that the present situation bears less heavily upon the Indian woman than upon the man and also because a study of the Indian woman is a contribution to the study of woman in general. <br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Front cover stained corners bumped.

From the library of George M Foster. 1st edition.<br /><br />The Zapotecs were once one of the most dominant ethnic groups in the region now known as Oaxaca. The early Zapotecs were a sedentary group relying mostly on agricultural means to survive. They worshipped a pantheon of gods the foremost of which was Cosijo the rain god symbolized by the jaguar and the snake symbols common in Mesoamerican cultures. Religious rites sometimes included human sacrifice. Aside from the gods Zapotecs also worshipped their ancestors and emphasized the concept of death. The splendid city of Monte Alban was the Zapotecs' main cultural center the place in which their rich and fascinating civilization flourished for about 2000 years. Today Monte Alban is considered one of the most majestic cultural centers in all of Middle America. Monte Alban is a complex array of pyramids and platforms built on a mountain range overlooking the valleys. It was built in honor of the Zapotec gods and in celebration of the military victories of the Zapotec people. By 700 A.D. Monte Alban had become the capital of the Zapotec land and home to some 250000 people. The Zapotecs struggled against another mighty group the Mixtecs for control over their vast lands. By the 15th century both these groups faced another worthy adversary the Aztecs who were trying to dominate the trade routes of Chiapas and Guatemala. The Zapotecs managed to maintain political autonomy thanks mostly to their greatest king Cosijoeza. When the Spanish arrived however the whole region became subject to the their forces Today the Zapotecs are composed mostly of two groups those in the Southern mountains and those residing in the southern half of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Many elements of Zapotec culture are still ingrained in Oaxacan life influencing customs dress songs and literature. <br /><br />George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics including acculturation long-term fieldwork peasant economies pottery making public health social structure symbolic systems technological change theories of illness and wellness humoral medicine in Latin America and worldview. The quantity quality and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976.

Royal octavo 10 1/4" x 7 1/4" issued in blue with gilt lettering to spine and front cover with blind stamp of Wenner Gren Foundatin. Wenner Gren Foundation publication number 44. 1st edition. Although music can be studied as an objective reality of and by itself its production is the result of human behavior - behavior based on a body of concepts concerning music and shaped by the society and culture in which it exists. Taking the fresh view that music must be described discussed and analyzed as an integrated system of concepts behaviors and sounds this book offers a thorough investigation of the relationship between a particular society and its musical expression and presents an important new technique of music analysis - a kind of fingerprinting of the musical output of any culture. In a two-part approach to this "total" view of musical expression the book deals first with the ethnography of music in Flathead society - the way music is viewed by the peoples as an expected phenomenon in life. The author traces the ideas of music and musicianship within the tribe discusses musical instruments and describes and analyzes historically the various types of Flathead music. Changes in music over the past 160 years resulting both from cultural drift are detailed and attention is focused on the possibilities open for interpretation of musical-ethnographic materials. Perhaps the most interesting of these possibilities is a major reassessment of probable Flathead origins in the light of musicological evidence and interpretation. The second part of the book is a technical musical analysis of 138 Flathead songs in which using a system derived from the Von-Hornbostel-Herzog-Kolinski-Waterman stream the author points the way toward a finer and more accurate delineation of significant and characterizing elements of music in culture.
