How Do We Know? Applyimg Theories and Methods for Anthropology

By: Cyril Belshaw

Cyril Belshaw likes to explore outside the box. He has been called "the anthropologist of anthropology". He has been told "You are not really an anthropologist." Whether or not such statements are accurate, he does like to find new paths so that often his contributions appear away from the main roads of publication. Thus in the hopes of stimulating discussion, perhaps mew applications, and debate amongst graduate students and colleagues alike he has brought some of them together here. He is now approaching his nineties so that some of his ideas date back as far as the 'forties while some follow is retirement. The ethnographic base for his theoretical constructs and explanations is derived from the Pacific Islands, Canadian society, Switzerland, and widespread travels, influenced by the belief that a major objective of anthropology is to use explanation to improve the world.

Under the Ivi Tree

Society and economic growth in rural Fiji

By: Cyril S. Belshaw

This study concerns the differentials of economic growth among the Fijian people. It brings together relevant factors drawn from social, cultural, economic and political analysis. As a case study in economic growth, it portrays the interplay between individuals and the social and economic conditions which surround them, and demonstrates the limitations of the institutions within which they function. Controversial points of interpretation are discussed and supported with documentation gathered from field-work. Originally published in 1964.

The Great Village

The Economic and Social Welfare of Hanuabada, an Urban Community in Papua

By: Cyril S. Belshaw

This book is the first systematic study of the urban Papuan and analyses, among other things, the family, household budgets, the proliferation of ceremonial and the re-birth of sorcery. The study can be compared, from the point of view of methods and research problems, with the increasing number of accounts of the urbanization of traditional societies, particularly in Africa. Hanuabada is not, however, 'de-tribalized' and it has maintained its boundaries intact against overwhelming immigration. First published in 1957.

Just Do It !

By: Cyril Belshaw

Let the global spring begin. Cyril Belshaw challenges us to get on with the job. Don' just imagine. Get on with it. Use the growing power of the populace. MANIFESTO FOR THE NEW AGE argues that global society is the result of all our individual decisions. If we choose to behave differently the world can be the kind of place we all desire. But what to choose? The Manifesto checks out the possibilities. In doing so the author binds the subject chapters together with a holistic method so that each relates to the others. He moves as seamlessly as he can from family and education all the way up to global government via political systems and economic organization. He points out that each one of us is an inventor in our daily lives but we need networks and organization to turn invention into social innovation. He calls on international non-governmental organizations to take the lead in creating a rainbow revolution with a global spring - of all of us. Prepare the Rainbow Revolution.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

An Anthropology of Public Policy

By: Cyril S. Belshaw

The Sorcerer's Apprentice: An Anthropology of Public Policy sees the community in a global and national view, raises a statement saying that society itself is policy making, and asks what societies can achieve if they did things differently. The book is divided into five parts. Part I discusses the challenge of policy and explains how anthropology is a social science. Part II covers the analysis and policy of the village universe, the urban contribution, and elements of the nation state, international connections, and the ""supra-nation"". Part III includes the innovation and genesis of ideas, resources and their management, change, conflict, and resistance. Part IV discusses the process of technical assistance, politics and conflict, the relationship between the politician and the social scientist, the mastery of judgment, and the organization of social sciences, and Part V talks about the values, choice, and the problems of the social sciences. Sociologists, anthropologists, and politicians, especially those who would like to know the importance of the social studies, its relation to society and politics, and the global community would find the text a good read.

Remuera: Memories of a New Zealand boy between the wars

By: Cyril Belshaw

Here is the story of a youth growing up in New Zealand. He was born not long after the First World War and left his country in the second. His grandfathers were an immigrant collier and second generation countryman respectively, who with the determined help of their wives ensured that their families were upwardly mobile. Cyril was brought up in an academic family and tells with frankness of the way he grew up, his ups and downs until he fell in love - and was posted overseas...The title Remuera is the name of a suburb in Auckland where he lived and may be roughly translated from the Maori as "a singed kilt". The book may be read as a social document of the time."--P. 1.
