Rethinking migration, ancient to future

Immigration as a framework in which to analyse the vast movements and interactions of people in the contemporary world tends to highlight recent movers and the legal apparatuses and ideologies of citizenship pertaining to them. Nation states, however, contain other, non-immigrant groups whose circumstances of arrival in many cases preceded nation states or a fully embordered globe, and who also need foregrounding if ethnocultural political sentiments and the deeper meanings of postmodern ‘intermingling’ are to be understood. Surveying a wide-ranging body of anthropological and historical studies of human migration and interaction over the past 150,000 years, a new synthetic framework is proposed. Contemporary nations all encompass diverse origins and arrivals that may be interpreted in terms of seven historically emergent and still ongoing processes: expansion, refuge-seeking, colonization, enforced transportation, trade diaspora, labour diaspora and emigration. Together they define the complex terrains upon which contemporary immigrants arrive.

The Organization of Households in Adabraka: Toward a Wider Comparative Perspective

This article surveys the intellectual, fieldwork, and professional career of the anthropologist George Clement Bond. Beginning in 1963, he conducted fieldwork in Zambia over four decades and produced a substantial body of writings on history, ritual, colonialism, and contemporary rural life. He also worked in Uganda in the 1980s on the HIV/AIDS crisis. From 1968, he taught at Columbia University, where he was Director of the Institute of African Studies. Bond’s measured outlook on the interrelated conceptual orientations and practical realities that confront the people anthropologists work among and learn from, and also shape their own circumstances, gave meaning and purpose to his work, which was recognized in honors and awards, speaking invitations, fellowships, and elected professional offices.
