One of Guillermo Bonfil Batalla's early works on the Maya and the social anthropology of the region in which he became so famous, his social anthropology works are often sited in works on social revolution in Mexico and the Maya region. Robert Manners (1913-1996) graduated from Columbia College during the Great Depression and then worked for Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration. In 1950, he earned a PhD from Columbia, after which he taught at the University of Rochester. In 1952, he began teaching at Brandeis University and established the Anthropology Department in 1963. Manners did field work in Arizona with the Walapai and Havasupi Indians, in Africa with the Kipsigis of Kenya, in Puerto Rico and on the Caribbean islands.

London, Univ. of California Press, 1994. XIV, 320 pp. Very good copy. Clean, no name, underlinings, markings or any other traces from former owner. Hardcover, with dustjacket. Judaica. With this heady exploration of time and space, rumors and silence, colors, tastes, and ideas, Robert Bonfil recreates the richness of Jewish life in Renaissance Italy. He also forces us to rethink conventional interpretations of the period, which feature terms like 'assimilation' and 'acculturation'. Questioning the Italians' presumed capacity for tolerance and civility, he points out that Jews were frequently uprooted and persecuted, and where stable communities did grow up, it was because the hostility of the Christian population had somehow been overcome. After the ghetto was imposed in Venice, Rome, and other Italian cities, Jewish settlement became more concentrated. Bonfil claims that the ghetto experience did more to intensify Jewish self-perception in early modern Europe than the supposed acculturation of the Renaissance. He shows how, paradoxically, ghetto living opened and transformed Jewish culture, hastening secularization and modernization. Bonfil's detailed picture reveals in the Italian Jews a sensitivity and self-awareness that took into account every aspect of the larger society. His inside view of a culture flourishing under stress enables us to understand how identity is perceived through constant interplay - on whatever terms - with the Other.
