The paradigms of people power
Article Abstract:
The relative paucity of anthropologists involved in the anticapitalist movement, a movement that has linked millions of people across the world and which has no historical precedent, is examined. It is argued that the anticapitalist movement is for everybody who cares about regular people and their quality of life and, for that reason, it is suggested that anthropologists have every reason to get involved.

Whiter shade of beyond the pale
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the application by anthropologists of racial categories and racial politics in South America. It is argued that the traditional racial categories used in North America do not translate very well to South America, and especially poorly in Brazil where asking somebody their race can elicit up to 135 different colour terms.
