A Symmetrical Ethnography
With theoretical foundations in medical and Amazonian anthropology, Kelly shows how Amerindian cosmology shapes concepts of the state at the community level. His symmetrical anthropology treats white and Amerindian perceptions of each other within a single theoretical framework, thus expanding our understanding of the groups and their mutual influences. This book will be valuable to scholars and students of Amazonian peoples, medical anthropology, development, and Latin American studies.

Chicano Studies
The Genesis of a Discipline
Part intellectual history, part social criticism, and part personal meditation, Chicano Studies attempts to make sense of the collision (and occasional wreckage) of politics, culture, scholarship, ideology, and philosophy that created a new academic discipline. Along the way, it identifies a remarkable cast of scholars and administrators who added considerable zest to the drama.

We Are Our Language
In presenting the case of Kaska, an endangered language in an Athapascan community in the Yukon, Barbra Meek asserts that language revitalization requires more than just linguistic rehabilitation; it demands a social transformation. The process must mend rips and tears in the social fabric of the language community that result from an enduring colonial history.
