The Archaeology ofEarly EgyptDavid WengrowUniversity College London

In this fresh, authoritative andcompelling survey of the archaeology ofearly Egypt, David Wengrow offers anew interpretation of the emergence offarming economies and the dynasticstate, c.10,000 to 2,650 BC. Exploringkey themes such as the nature of statepower, kingship and the inception ofwriting, Wengrow illuminates prehistoricsocial development along the Nilethrough comparison with neighbouringregions. Detailed analysis of thearchaeological record reveals theinterplay between large-scale processesof economic and political change, andthe intimate material practices throughwhich social identities weretransformed. Employing rich empiricaldata and engaging critically withanthropological theory and the historyof archaeological thought, Wengrow’swork challenges the current theoreticalisolation of Egyptian prehistory andbreaches the methodological boundariesthat separate prehistory fromEgyptology. It is essential reading forany student or scholar with an interestin ancient Egyptian civilisation or earlystate formation.

• Presents an engaging narrative historyof ancient Egypt

• Broader geographical andchronological scope than anycomparable archaeological survey

The Archaeology ofClass in Urban AmericaStephen MrozowskiUniversity of Massachusetts, Boston

This book explores the material dimensionsof class formation in eighteenth-centuryNewport, Rhode Island, and nineteenth-century Lowell, Massachusetts. Duringtheir economic peaks these citiesrepresented perhaps the purist forms of capitalism in North America. The twocities reveal contrasting portraits of classidentity, one based upon the analysis ofmaterial culture and spatial practices,and one based upon the examination ofenvironmental conditions and health.This ground-breaking study argues thatnotions of class incorporating variablessuch as ethnicity and gender were shapedby the shifting ecologies of capitalismitself.

The Metaphysics of Apes traces thediscovery and interpretation of thehuman-like great apes and the ape-likeearliest ancestors of present-dayhumans. It shows how, from the days ofLinnaeus to recent research, the sacredand taboo-ridden animal-humanboundary was time and againchallenged and adjusted. The uniquedignity of humans, a central idea andvalue in the West, was, and to someextent still is, centrally on the minds oftaxonomists, ethnologists,primatologists, and archaeologists. Ithas guided their research to aconsiderable extent. The basicpresupposition was that humans are notentirely part of nature but, assymbolizing minds and as moralpersons, transcend nature. This bookthus is the first to offer ananthropological analysis of theburgeoning anthropological disciplinesin terms of their own cultural taboosand philosophical preconceptions.

Kinship, Law and theUnexpectedRelatives are Always a SurpriseMarilyn StrathernUniversity of Cambridge

How can we hold in the same view bothcultural or historical constructs andgeneralities about social existence?Kinship, Law and the Unexpected takesup an issue at the heart of studies ofsociety – the way we use relationshipsto uncover relationships. Relationality isa phenomenon at once contingent (oncertain ways of knowing) andubiquitous (to social life). The role ofrelations in western (Euro-American)knowledge practices, from the scientificrevolution onwards, raises a questionabout the extent to which Euro-American kinship is the kinship of aknowledge-based society. The argumenttakes the reader through current issuesin biotechnology, new family formationsand legal interventions, and intellectualproperty debates, to matters ofpersonhood and ownership afforded bymaterial from Melanesia and elsewhere.If we are often surprised by what ourrelatives do, we may also be surprisedby what relations tells us about theworld we live in.

‘In this timely book, Fairhead andLeach … effectively demolishpersistent stereotypes associated withscience, governance, development, andglobalization … Science, Society, andPower presents a rich and detailednarrative accompanied by insightfulanalysis. It should provoke a much-needed re-evaluation of the ‘RiskSociety’ hypothesis, whichcharacterizes community engagementwith science as a peculiarity of latemodernity.’Steve Rayner, Director, ESRC Science in SocietyProgramme and Professor of Science in Society,University of Oxford

‘A remarkable and fascinating book.Fairhead and Leach combine theethnographic study of two ‘developing’countries with a thorough grasp ofwider theoretical debates over scienceand society. They bring a much-neededanthropological perspective to issuesof scientific governance and the socialrelations of science and policy. Ourunderstanding of the international andlocal dynamics of environmentalpractice is accordingly transformed.This book has significant implicationsfor both social scientific understandingand the development of future formsof governance. At a time when theinteraction of social life and scientificpractice is more important than ever,Science, Society and Power addressescrucial issues and deserves a very widereadership.’ Alan Irwin, Professor of Sociology, BrunelUniversity

New Perspectives onAnthropological andSocial Demography

New Perspectives onAnthropological andSocial DemographySeries Editors: David I. KertzerDennis P. HoganBrown University

Jack CaldwellAndrew CherlinTom FrickeFrances GoldscheiderBrown University, Rhode Island

Demography engages with issues of greatsocial importance. Demographic researchbears on central issues of social theoryand fuels some of the central policydebates of our time. Nevertheless,theoretical development has been slow.Old and sometimes inappropriate modelsare being applied to new problems. Thelimitations of standard demographicsurvey methods and statistical techniqueshave been increasingly recognised. Todaya growing number of demographers areinterested in making use of theoreticaland methodological approaches fromother disciplines, perhaps in particularfrom anthropology, and most especiallywhen tackling population questions inAfrica, Asia and Latin America. For theirpart, however, anthropologists havegenerally failed to take account of theadvances made in modern demography.Until recently, few anthropologists haveparticipated in the central debates onquestions of either theory or policy inpopulation research. But at last a newwave of interdisciplinary research isemerging, which combines the interestsand approaches of demographers,anthropologists and other social scientists.
