Document Summary
Thursday, january 26, 2017 anthro 3301 lecture 16 notes. Today talking about plantations that typically employ wage labour and in the past slavery. Peasants living and working on large estates called haciendas in na. Also about peasants living in free communities aka communities more distant from presence of domination, not living in midst of relationship of inequality on daily basis. But where they live did not eliminate inequality. Different contexts, different questions from previously in this course. E. g. anthro in the paci c aka malinowski. They looked at small isolated island societies mostly homogeneous. Looked at the way things in society were ordered through things like kinship. Many things undertaken in rst world war. Challenge to idea that europe was elite best and civilized because of what happened at war. Ppl like radcliffe brown said there was reason why these people were doing weird things - cultural relativism. Then we looked at anthro in africa.
