  • Studies of Food and Festivities in Three American Communities
    FOOD IN THE SOCIAL ORDER Studies of Food and Festivities in Three American Communities MARY DOUGLAS, Editor Russell Sage Foundation New York The Russell Sage Foundation The Russell Sage Foundation, one of the oldest of America’s general purpose founda¬ tions, was established in 1907 by Mrs. Margaret Olivia Sage for “the improvement of social and living conditions in the United States.” The Foundation seeks to fulfill this mandate by fostering the development and dissemination of knowledge about the po¬ litical, social, and economic problems of America. It conducts research in the social sciences and public policy, and publishes books and pamplets that derive from this research. The Foundation provides support for individual scholars and collaborates with other granting agencies and academic institutions in studies of social problems. It maintains a professional staff of social scientists who engage in their own research as well as ad¬ vise on Foundation programs and projects. The Foundation also conducts a Visiting Scholar Program, under which established scholars working in areas of current inter¬ est to the Foundation join the staff for a year to consult and to continue their own research and writing. Finally, a Postdoctoral Fellowship Program enables promising young scholars to devote full time to their research while in residence for a year at the Foundation. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the general policies and oversight of the Foun¬ dation, while the immediate administrative direction of the program and staff is vested in the President, assisted by the officers and staff. The President bears final re¬ sponsibility for the decision to publish a manuscript as a Russell Sage Foundation book.

It is hoped that this paradigmatic change will bring about a significant improvement in the quality of higher education and make the learners both competent and confident to face the challenges of a modern competitive world. The philosophy of this new curriculum framework is pragmatism, to realise that it is not enough for institutions of higher learning to produce good humans and responsible citizens of the country but also to produce employed graduates and postgraduates.

It represents both a collection of classic readers and an exciting challenge to the norms that have shaped this discipline over the past century. Each edited volume is devoted to a traditional subdiscipline of the field such as the anthropology of religion, linguistic anthropology, or medical anthropology; and provides a foundation in the canonical readings of the selected area. Aware that such subdisciplinary definitions are still widely recognized and useful – but increasingly problematic – these volumes are crafted to include a rare and invaluable perspective on social and cultural anthropology at the onset of the twenty-first century. Each text provides a selection of classic readings together with contemporary works that underscore the artificiality of subdisciplinary definitions and point students, researchers, and general readers in the new directions in which anthropology is moving.
