Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 229 pages with charts (some folding), tables and bibliography. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. From the library of Professor George M Foster. First edition. Larissa Adler de Lomnitz specialized in research and study about the way marginalized classes in Latin America live and help themselves. Like Oscar Lewis, she has rejected the relationship between migration, urbanization and disorganization proposed by Chicago ecologists based on the theories of Richard Adams. 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. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Condition: Edge wear, corners bumped.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 373 pages with bibliographies. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Preface by Guillermo de la Pena. First edition limited to 2000 copies. In the articles included, Adler Lomnitz shows the networks with which some Latin American social groups move, seeking to overcome the formalities of the structured society and manage to subsist informally in their different spheres. The author applies the anthropological tools to the analysis of a "modern" group and reveals the outline of compadrazgo. In the study of a group of poor migrants in Mexico City, he refocuses his attention on the solidarity resulting from mutual aid. Condition: Corners bumped, light edge wear else a very good copy.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The concept of political culture is young-born from the need to explain the dramatic sociological and political changes that occurred in Europe both during and after the Second World War. The practice of examining the culture of political parties in depth through an ethnographic field study of a country's social structure is, so far, a neglected one. Larissa Adler Lomnitz and Ana Melnick rectify the lack of attention to this area with respect to Chile in Chile's Political Culture and Parties: An Anthropological Explanation. This volume examines Chile's political culture by considering its origin and the persistence of its "grammar," which the authors define as the ability of each member of society to function within social categories and rules. This "grammar," they believe, is what gives character to national culture. Lomnitz and Melnick argue that political parties in Chile are a conglomeration of horizontal networks of friends. Class is perfectly established within Chile's social tissue and is defined by a mixture of variables, including an individual's position in the economy, social network, religious beliefs, and life-style choices. The existence of social class creates subcultural layers in society, and these subcultures create a horizontally organized, class-structured, hierarchical society. In a political system such as this, characterized by its ability to contain strong political subcultures, it is crucial to guarantee the coexistence of these subcultures through the acceptance of a common legal framework or constitution. Respect for this constitution legitimizes the system and, therefore, legitimizes presidential authority. This constitutional respect is especially present in Chilean culture and is perhaps one of Chile's best-known political characteristics. From the tradition of the fronda aristocratica that determined the Chilean president, to the current coexistence of the Radical and Christian Democrat parties in Chile, this thoughtful synthesis of the elements that determine Chile's political culture is a valuable tool for all students of history, political science, and Latin America.…
