Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Acculturation: The Study of Culture Contact The primary purpose of this book is to attempt to define and orient the study of culture contact by describing some of the work that has been done in analyzing the results of contact between peoples, and to suggest further research into the problems that arise from in vestigations of this kind. If it is concerned only with primitive peoples, this is not because it is held that the forces at work among primitive folk are different from those operative in contacts between literate peoples; but merely that the writer, as an anthropologist, has felt it to be the part of wisdom to discuss those data which fall in the field of his competence. Hence thdugh we will here be primarily concerned with problems of anthropological research, it is none the less hoped that what is said will be of use to workers in other social sciences, especially to historians, sociologists and psychologists. I am grateful to the Social Scienee Research Council for having made possible a period of reflection and reading on the problems discussed here that I needed to point the concepts that had been forming in my mind during the past years while working on Negro research - essentially an acculturation problem; and to my colleagues on the Council's sub-committee on Acculturation, Dr. Ralph Linton and Dr. Robert Redfield, for the many stimulating discussions that helped further to clarify these problems; similarly, it is a pleasure to express my gratitude to Dr. Donald Young, who participated in many of these discussions. I am also indebted to Dr. George Herzog for bibliographic suggestions in the fields of music and linguistics.

Download or read book Studies in Culture Contact written by James G. Cusick and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have long been fascinated about times in human history when different cultures and societies first came into contact with each other, how they reacted to that contact, and why it sometimes occurred peacefully and at other times was violent or catastrophic. Studies in Culture Contact: Interaction, Culture Change, and Archaeology, edited by James G. Cusick,seeks to define the role of culture contact in human history, to identify issues in the study of culture contact in archaeology, and to provide a critical overview of the major theoretical approaches to the study of culture and contact. In this collection of essays, anthropologists and archaeologists working in Europe and the Americas consider three forms of culture contact—colonization, cultural entanglement, and symmetrical exchange. Part I provides a critical overview of theoretical approaches to the study of culture contact, offering assessments of older concepts in anthropology, such as acculturation, as well as more recently formed concepts, including world systems and center-periphery models of contact. Part II contains eleven case studies of specific contact situations and their relationships to the archaeological record, with times and places as varied as pre- and post-Hispanic Mexico, Iron Age France, Jamaican sugar plantations, European provinces in the Roman Empire, and the missions of Spanish Florida. Studies in Culture Contact provides an extensive review of the history of culture contact in anthropological studies and develops a broad framework for studying culture contact’s role, moving beyond a simple formulation of contact and change to a more complex understanding of the amalgam of change and continuity in contact situations.
Download or read book Acculturation written by John W. Berry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acculturation is the process of group and individual changes in culture and behaviour that result from intercultural contact. These changes have been taking place forever, and continue at an increasing pace as more and more peoples of different cultures move, meet and interact. Variations in the meanings of the concept, and some systematic conceptualisations of it are presented. This is followed by a survey of empirical work with indigenous, immigrant and ethnocultural peoples around the globe that employed both ethnographic (qualitative) and psychological (quantitative) methods. This wide-ranging research has been undertaken in a quest for possible general principles (or universals) of acculturation. This Element concludes with a short evaluation of the field of acculturation; its past, present and future.

This book was released on 2006-08-03 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the topic of acculturation has evolved from a relatively minor research area to one of the most researched subjects in the field of cross-cultural psychology. This edited handbook compiles and systemizes the current state of the art by exploring the broad international scope of acculturation. A collection of the world's leading experts in the field review the various contexts for acculturation, the central theories, the groups and individuals undergoing acculturation (immigrants, refugees, indigenous people, expatriates, students and tourists) and discuss how current knowledge can be applied to make both the process and its outcome more manageable and profitable. Building on the theoretical and methodological framework of cross-cultural psychology, the authors focus specifically on the issues that arise when people from one culture move to another culture and the reciprocal adjustments, tensions and benefits involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As intercultural encounters between people in the modern world become more common, important questions have been raised about the nature of culture-specific differences and similarities. Focusing on the relationship between culture and human development, this timely book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of key developmental processes. It combines psychological and sociological approaches with cross-cultural research to examine phenomena such as the transfer of culture between generations and the universality of attachment theory. Drawing on detailed research from a range of cultural groups, leading international researchers consider the impact of social change and modernization on the development of the individual and at the societal level. Theoretical and methodological issues are presented in terms of how to apply the results of cross-cultural research as well as recent empirical research done in specialized areas of the field. Finally, short-term intercultural exchanges are examined and used to suggest some of the potential practical uses of cross-cultural research for the future. This book will be essential reading for anyone studying or researching in cultural psychology, cross-cultural psychology, acculturation or behavioral development. It will also prove an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in sociology and the social sciences in general.
