 | Thunder Doesn''t Live Here Anymore: The Culture of Marginality Among the Teeneks of Tantoyuca However, as Anath Ariel de Vidas argues in this masterful ethnography, this self-denigration - added to the absence among the Teeneks of emblematic Indian features such as traditional costumes, agricultural rituals, specific ceremonies, or systems of religious cargos or offices - are not synonymous with collective anomie. Rather, as Ariel de Vidas demonstrates, their seeming ontological acceptance of a marginal social and economic condition is - in its own peculiar way - a language of indigenous resistance. Anath Ariel de Vidas is a lecturer for the Sociology and Anthropology Department at the University of Haifa in Israel. Teresa Lavender Fagan is a freelance translator and has published more than a dozen book-length translations, including Jean Bottero's The Oldest Cuisine in the World: Cooking in Mesopotamia . |
