State Healthcare and Yanomami Transformations
A Symmetrical Ethnography
The University of Arizona Press
Until now, anthropological writing on Amazonian peoples has been divided between “traditional” topics (e.g., kinship, cosmology, and ritual) and struggles with the nation-state. In this ethnography, José Antonio Kelly challenges that dichotomy, placing the study of culture and cosmology within the context of the modern nation-state and its institutions. He explores Indian-white relations through the operation of a state-run health system among the indigenous Yanomami of southern Venezuela.
With theoretical foundations in medical and Amazonian anthropology, Kelly shows how Amerindian cosmology shapes concepts of the state at the community level. His symmetrical anthropology treats white and Amerindian perceptions of each other within a single theoretical framework, thus expanding our understanding of the groups and their mutual influences. This book will be valuable to scholars and students of Amazonian peoples, medical anthropology, development, and Latin American studies.

Chicano Studies
The Genesis of a Discipline
The University of Arizona Press
Part intellectual history, part social criticism, and part personal meditation, Chicano Studies attempts to make sense of the collision (and occasional wreckage) of politics, culture, scholarship, ideology, and philosophy that created a new academic discipline. Along the way, it identifies a remarkable cast of scholars and administrators who added considerable zest to the drama.
