Kultura. Etnografia
ilość książek w kategorii: 60584
Książki o kulturze, to niezwykle bogaty dział publikacji, które pozwolą poznać bogactwo kulturowe innych krajów, a także inną różnorodną tematykę dotyczącą odkrywania wytworów człowieka. Wiąże się to bezpośrednio z etnologią, która zajmuje się takimi badaniami.
Etnologia, to jedna z dyscyplin, obok etnografii, antropologii kulturowej i społecznej, wchodzących w zakres antropologii – nauki o człowieku i jego kulturze. Terminy te często traktowane są jako synonimy tej samej dziedziny badań. Etnologia jest terminem używanym przez przedstawicieli europejskiej i kontynentalnej nauki o człowieku i odpowiada niemieckiemu terminowi Völkerkunde (badania ludów pierwotnych). Etnologia klasyfikuje ludy na podstawie cech środowiskowych i kulturowych oraz opisuje poszczególne kultury.

Shapiro reveals how the lack of these family assets along with continuing racial discrimination in crucial areas like...

In this pioneering work of cultural history, historian Anthony Harkins argues that the hillbilly-in his various guises of "briar hopper," "brush ape," "ridge runner," and "white trash"-has been viewed by mainstream Americans simultaneously as a violent degenerate who threatens the modern order and as a keeper of traditional values of family, home, and physical production, and thus symbolic of a nostalgic past free of the problems of contemporary life. "Hillbilly" signifies both rugged individualism and stubborn backwardness, strong family and kin networks but also inbreeding and bloody feuds....

The Golden Age of Black Nationalism, 1850-1925
ISBN: 9780195206395 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The "golden age" of black nationalism began in response to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and extended to the time of Marcus Garvey's imprisonment in 1925. During these seventy-five years, an upsurge of back-to-Africa schemes stimulated a burst of literary output and nurtured the growth of a tradition that flourished until the end of the century. This tradition then underwent a powerful revitalization with the rise of Marcus Garvey and the ideological Pan-Africanism of W.E.B. Du Bois.

For this reason, Grimes argues, dominant theories, like the data they consider, remain stubbornly conservative. This book issues a challenge to these theories and to popular conceptions of ritual.
