Chiefdoms and Tribes of the Land of Hashid and Bakil. Moscow: Oriental Institute, 1999
230p. (in Russian with an extensive [30pp.] English summary). The monographes considers the evolution of the socio-political systems of the North-East Yemen in the last 3 millennia in cross-cultural perspective.. It is shown that the modern North-East Yemeni tribes were formed in the 1st millennium CE as a result of the transformation of the NE Yemeni chiefdoms. It is further shown that there are no grounds to consider this transformation as "degeneration", or "regress".
Pilch, John J & Bruce J. Malina,
Editors and Contributors. Handbook of Biblical Social Values. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 1998.
This is an up-dated edition A Handbook of Biblical Social Values and Their Meaning: (1993) Editors have added new entries (limited good; healing) and listed select, social-scientific bibliography for all entries. Each entry in this mini-dictionary describes a value in its Mediterreanean biblical context, then contrasts it with the Western value bearing the same name. The Kluckhohn-Strodtbeck model for comparing values across cultures is presented to help Bible readers perceive value differences and consider how those differences might be understood and negotiated.
The Handbook of Biblical Social Values (rev. ed) has already been translated into Korean and published in Seoul by the Presbyterian Church of Korea, 1998.
Susan Seymour
Women, Family, and Child Care in India: A World in Transition. Cambridge University Press, 1998.
This book presents an in-depth study of 24 Hindu families, of different caste and class groups, who reside in a recently urbanizing part of India. Beginning with a two-year study of family organization and child-rearing practices in the mid-1960s, the author follows the lives of 132 children and their extended families over nearly three decades. The book focuses upon women--the socialization of girls and the significance of women's roles through the life-cycle in a society where the patrifocal extended family is predominant. The effects of caste and class upon women's lives are examined, together with the effects of recent schooling and delayed marriage. Longitudinal research makes it possible to examine the impact of recent urbanization and modernization upon groups of contemporary Indian women, whose voices and changing perspectives are captured in a series of intergenerational interviews that imply further change for Indian systems of family and gender.
Those members who have e-mail addresses have received two preliminary programs from Chick. This is the final program and is being sent to those members with only "snail mail" addresses, as well as to our e-mail members.
Congratulations to our new authors.
Please note that our President-Elect, Gary Chick has moved from Illinois to Pennsyvania and has a new address.
