The author relates his life as an African American growing up in the South during the Jim Crow years "Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi, with poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at those around him; at six he was a "drunkard," hanging about taverns. Surly, brutal, cold, suspicious, a nd self-pitying, he was surrounded on one side by whites who were either in different to him, pitying, or cruel, and on the other by blacks who resente d anyone trying to rise above the common lot. Black Boy is Richard Wright's powerful account of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Cr ow South. It is at once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment-- a poignant and disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering."- -Harpercollins.com Young Adult "The restored text, established by the Library of America."

This paper critically examines previous statements concerning the nature of the Middle/Upper Paleolithic transition in Western Europe. Mellars's overview of the transition in southwestern France forms the point of departure for discussion. Several of Mellars's contentions are modified in light of methodological weaknesses and recently available data. It is suggested that many observed Middle/Upper Paleolithic differences are best understood with reference to a restructuring of social relations across the boundary. This is seen to be consistent with the suggestions of Sally and Lewis Binford based on mortuary practices and lithic variability.

This obsession flourished in the New World, where status, privilege, and rank became cornerstones of the colonial social order. Honor has many faces. To a freed black woman in Brazil it proscribed spousal abuse and permitted her to petition the Church for permission to leave her husband. To a high church official charged with sodomy in Alto Peru, honor signified the privileges and legal exceptions available to those of his background and social position. These nine original essays assess the role and importance man and women of all races and social classes accorded honor throughout colonial Latin America." Edgewear, bumped bottom corner.

Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's white pictorial cloth with lettering in red and black. Foreword by Ernesto Laclau. First edition. The study begins with a tentative outline of a post-structuralist theory of society and history-a provocative rejection of theories of all paradigmatic affiliation that reduce the widespread phenomenon of historical 'syncretism' to coherent process of 'modernization.' It also proposes a conception of society that does away with the notion that material practices are unequivocally distinguishable from the mental moments of cultural activity. Set in this broader theoretical context, the book covers a wide range of economic issues such as social and ecological conditions of Amazonian slash-and-burn agriculture, the resistance of peasants and wage-workers to hinterland capitalist exploitation and the intervention of capital, state and church in the manipulation of pre-Hispanic forms of production. The author also addresses issues of social organization and reveals how the combined playing out of specific schemes of kinship and economic conduct produces different results in tribal and class economies of residence, sex and marriage.
