The initial chapter by Kevin Birth shows some of the ways that globalization has affected concepts of time. Most subsequent chapters deal with modernity and global changes. Charles Lindholm provides an excellent history of studies of emotion, suggesting that anthropologists need again to think about “crowd psychology” in this era of “ethnic revivalism and cultic zealotry”(p. 44). Linda Garro, building on the ideas of Fredrick Bartlett and A. I Hallowell, as well as her Stirling Prize essay (Garro 2000), considers recent developments in the study of perception, memory and cognition, insisting that there can be no division between process and content in thought. This is a useful antidote to narrow conceptions of cognitive anthropology and “consensus theory.” In a stunning chapter, Patricia Greenfield reviews studies of culture learning, showing how research has moved from imposed tests to analysis of everyday cognition. Using her own varied work from Africa in the 1960s through many kinds of laboratory experiments and through her last 30 years of work with weavers in Chiapas she comments on global changes in child development due to schooling and new media. It is too bad that her most recent book illustrating (with photos and videos) the dialectic of tradition and novelty in weaving did not make it into the bibliography (Greenfield 2004).
