The conditions and fates of indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities today are intimately linked to the evolution of modern nation-states and the global political economy. Over the past 500 years, small, relatively autonomous indigenous and ethnic groups have increasingly been brought under state control through processes of conquests, genocide, colonialism, development, and globalization. These forces have produced profound changes and profound stresses, resulting, at worst, in the elimination of entire societies, but more commonly in complex interactions that vary from dependency and assimilation to resistance and cultural revitalization. The course uses detailed case studies from around the world to illustrate key themes and cross-cultural patterns in the construction and destruction of indigenous peoples and ethnic groups in state systems. 1.00 units, Lecture

Anthropologists are a contentious lot, often challenging the veracity and relevance of each other's interpretations. In this seminar, students will examine recent manifestations of this vexatiousness. The seminar will consider such questions as: Can culture be regarded as collective and shared What is the relationship between cultural ideas and practical action How does one study culture in the postmodern world of "the celluloid, global ethnoscape" Can the practice of anthropology be fully objective, or does it demand a politics-an understanding that ideas, ours and theirs, are historically situated, politicized realities Is domination the same everywhere 1.00 units, Seminar
