This study focuses on the uneasy relationship between permanent 'organised sector' and temporary 'unorganised sector' workers in India. Does India indeed have a dual economy and society in which these two groups of workers, only one side enjoying the protection of the Factory Acts and Trades Unions, regard themselves and act as distinct classes with opposed interests? Drawing upon his own extensive fieldwork amongst Indian workers, employers and unionists, and on his familiarity with the anthropological and sociological literature, Dr Holmström strives to come to a better understanding of the thoughts and actions of the workers and the wider economic and political aspects of their situation. He uses a wide range of material, from the opinions and life stories of workers to accounts of recent union movements in the 'unorganized sector', and contributes critically to the- debate on 'dualism' and its underlying assumptions.

Bernard Vienne, chercheur éminent de l'Office de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique Outre Mer, travaille depuis de longues années au Vanuatu (ex Nouvelles-Hébrides) et plus particulièrement aux îles Banks dans le nord de l'archipel. Il reprend les travaux classiques du Révérend Codrington (The Melanesians, Studies in their anthropology and folklore) et de W.H. Rivers, fondateur de l'école d'anthropologie sociale britannique (History of the Melanesian Society). Bernard Vienne a su aller patiemment plus loin, à partir des recherches déjà connues, et sans mépris pour ses prédécesseurs. Le résultat est une synthèse très neuve, où tout est repris en compte, où les matériaux sont originaux pour la plus grande part et qui répond définitivement à certaines hypothèses théoriques. Nous apprenons aussi comment s'imbriquent aux alliances matrimoniales les stratégies foncières en vue de l'accès aux meilleures terres à ignames, comment les systèmes de parenté s'organisent globalement pour l'ensemble des groupes et comment les familles glissent lentement d'une île à l'autre, les zones les moins peuplées de Vanua Lava se remplissant d'habi-tants nouveaux en fonction d'une politique concertée et consciente. Comment en fait, un peuple s'est géré tout seul, en dehors des structures coloniales qui l'ignoraient et dont il savait se protéger ; comment il a su aussi admirablement régler ses problèmes tout en restant fondamentalement lui-même. La pro-tection de la Melanesian Mission, anglicane et « high church », n'a pas été étrangère à cette réussite.

This book starts from the premise that methodology - the procedures for obtaining an 'objective' knowledge of the past - has always dominated archaeology to the detriment of broader social theory. It argues that social theory is archaeological theory, and that past failure to recognise this has resulted in disembodied archaeological theory and weak disciplinary practice. Ideology, Power and Prehistory therefore seeks to reinstate the primacy of social theory and the social nature of the past worlds that archaeologists seek to understand. The contributors to this book argue that past peoples, the creators of the archaeological records, should be understood as actively manipulating their own material world to represent and misrepresent their own and others' interests. Thus the concepts of ideology and power, long discussed in social and political science yet largely ignored by archaeologists, must henceforward play a central role in our understanding of the past as a social creation. Archaeologists must now consider how the material remains they study were used to create images by past societies, which do not simply mirror or reflect but actively orientate the nature of these societies.

The central actors in this book are some reclusive forest-dwelling ascetic meditation masters who have been acclaimed as 'saints' in contemporary Thailand. These saints originally pursued their salvation quest among the isolated villages of the country's periphery, but once recognized as holy men endowed with charisma, they became the radiating centres of a country-wide cult of amulets. The amulets, blessed by the saints, are avidly sought by royalty, ruling generals, intelligentsia and common folk alike for their alleged powers to influence the success of worldly transactions, whether political, economic, martial or romantic.
