DISSERTATION TOPIC:

Technological Change and Mossi Acculturation

A study of the causal role of subsistence technology in shaping the other cultural institutions of Mossi set season cultivators in the indigenous Kingdom of Yatenga, Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta), West Africa. The interrelated aspects of the Mossi’s economic system and social organization, their authority structure and ideology, provide points of departure for analysis of the problems of cultural adjustment Mossi labor migrants encountered when they were recruited to work in the newly irrigated rice fields of the Office du Niger in neighboring Mali.

CURRENT FIELD RESEARCH:

Initial survey research on patterns of same sex erotic behavior in the Middle East, especially in Morocco, Tunisa and Turkey; parallel research in Cuba.

PAST ETHNOGRAPHIC FIELD RESEARCH :

With the support of a National Science Foundation Senior Research Grant from 1968 to 1972 a comparative, ethnohistorical study was made of cultural processes in the struggle for ethnic self-definition of a selected number of Indian communities in the Southeastern United States among which the absence of government treaties, a high degree of acculturation, and allegations of "mixed" ancestry have impeded full recognition of community members' rights as Native Americans. The first four years of this research were carried out as a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow of the Institute of Southern History at The Johns Hopkins University. Several articles and papers listed below are the result to date of this continuing research.

With the support of a Ford Foundation Fellowship, an eighteen-month study was undertaken from 1954 to 1956 in France and among the Mossi of Upper Volta and Mali, West Africa. Particular attention was directed to the cultural effects of imposed technological innovation and economic change upon the traditional way of life of the people of the Mossi Kingdom of Yatenga. One book and several of the articles and papers listed below are the result to date of this research.
