The Intertwining of Culture and Music

Love and the Times

By: Marjorie M. Snipes

This volume explores various kinds of love and the way music reflects them. It is about romantic love, ethnic pride and love, love and the media, and various other loves we have, especially love for popular culture. Throughout, special focus is given to the role jazz plays, as well as other forms of African and African American music, including hip hop, and, especially, the blues.

The Anthropology of Religion, Magic, and Witchcraft

By: Rebecca L. Stein,Philip L. Stein,Benjamin R. Kracht,Marjorie M. Snipes

This concise and accessible textbook introduces students to the anthropological study of religion. It examines religious expression from a cross-cultural perspective and exposes students to the complexities of religion in small-scale and complex societies. The chapters incorporate key theoretical concepts and a wide range of ethnographic material. The fifth edition of The Anthropology of Religion, Magic, and Witchcraft offers: • a revised introduction covering the foundations of the anthropology of religion, anthropological methods, and a push toward decolonizing the anthropology of religion, • expanded coverage of symbols, healing, wizardry, and the intersections of religion with other social institutions, • new case study material with examples drawn from around the globe, especially from Indigenous communities, • marginalia in each chapter introducing provocative small-case examples related to the chapter—many of these can be used as prompts for further research, small in-class case studies, or examples for hands-on learning, • a new chapter on religion and healing, especially useful for Anthropology programs without representation of four fields, as it provides a wider and more interdisciplinary application of the discipline, • a consistent review of foundations from chapter to chapter, linking material and enabling students to connect what they are learning throughout the course, and • further resources via a comprehensive companion website, including interactive activities, critical case studies, updated study questions, bibliographical suggestions (including video), and color images. This is an essential guide for students encountering the anthropology of religion for the first time and also for those with an ongoing interest in this fascinating field.

Montana Winter Days

By: Marjorie M. Snipes

In this day-by-day account of a long winter visit to Montana, Snipes uncovers signs of innocence and contradiction in human nature: our need for place, our need for company, and our delight in discovery. At times funny, cynical, and even philosophical, each story brings the character and culture of contemporary northwestern Montana to life by populating the landscape with the people, their lives and stories, the beauty of winter life, and the connection to the land and history in this stronghold of Americana. This book is part travel memoir, part meditation journal, and all filled with humor, melancholy, and joy.
