"The Scottish archaeologist and anthropologist Daniel Wilson (1816–92) spent the latter part of his life in Canada. Published in 1862, this is a seminal work in the study of early man in which Wilson utilises studies of native tribes 'still seen there in a condition which seems to reproduce some of the most familiar phases ascribed to the infancy of the unhistoric world'. He believed that civilisations initially developed in mild climates and judged the Mayans to have been the most advanced civilisation in the New World. Twentieth-century anthropologist Bruce Trigger argued that Wilson 'interpreted evidence about human behaviour in a way that is far more in accord with modern thinking than are the racist views of Darwin and Lubbock', and it is in this light that this two-volume work can be judged. Volume 2 covers topics ranging from ceramic arts to the influence of interbreeding and migration upon civilisations."

"The religious-ethnic violence in Maluku has unearthed a complex network of rivalries, inequalities and rhetoric. Opinions as to the causes of the conflict, and possible avenues for reconciliation are extremely diverse, and reflect many of the tensions and challenges faced by Indonesia as a whole, as it moves towards decentralization. One of the elements of Maluku society that has proved to be controversial in this context is tradition or adat. This paper explores some current perspectives on the role of adat in Maluku, and its potential for social transformation. Does a situation as extreme as that in Maluku itself encourages radical transformation and creative solutions for rebuilding civil society, or does it simply further entrench existing prejudice and power relations? How will regional autonomy influence this? What relation do these questions have to other reconciliation initiatives? The paper does not attempt to draw far-reaching conclusions about the future role of adat in Maluku society, but simply indicates some of the questions to be asked and answered in the years ahead. It provides examples of past activities, current perspectives, and future possibilities. It is hoped that these questions will contribute to an already lively debate at the local level."

"Fase utama dari migrasi Hadrami (pertengahan abad ke-18 hingga ke-20) telah mendapat perhatian ilmuwan-ilmuwan dari berbagai latar belakang disiplin. Berdasarkan atas hasil karya ilmiah inidan mengacu pada teori-teori kontemporer di bidang Antropologi mengenai diaspora masyarakat dan hubungan-hubungan antarbangsa serta penelitian terbaru di Indonesia dalam tiga tahun terakhir, artikel ini memfokuskan pada hubungan-hubungan dikalangan Hadramis dan pandangan-pandangan Hadhramaut. Dengan berkonsentrasi pada topik ini, perbandingan akan dibuat antara fase utama dari pembentukan diaspora dan Indonesia pasca kolonial sekarang ini."
