‘‘R ACE: Are We So Different?’’ is a traveling exhibition project of the American Anthropological Association and the Science Museum of Minnesota. Created by the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM), the exhibit ‘‘RACE: Are We So Different?’’ marks a significant intervention into the social and political life of a local American community on matters of race. It makes a powerful statement about the origin of race ideas, and their impact upon American society, past and present. At the same time, the exhibit asks individuals to reflect critically upon some of their most fundamental and cherished beliefs. The notice paid to race issues nationally has been sporadic at best, occurring, for example, as an after-effect of racially prejudicial remarks made by a political or media personage, vanishing almost as soon as it surfaces. The difficulty in sustaining conversations about race in the American public square is a notorious fact. Classrooms, church meetings, and family discussions (a few of the rare places in which a critical awareness is often cultivated) are dispersed venues. Until the race exhibit came to town (opening in St. Paul, Minnesota, in January 2007), there never was a central, public gathering place, geographically at the pivot of a metropolitan region, focused exclusively upon race and race prejudice. If an interest in race has faltered nationally, the exhibit has succeeded in attracting citizens from the hinterland of Minnesota, who rub shoulders with hip urban wayfarers, alongside vibrant flocks of middle and high school students. This pattern of interaction among visitors is likely to be repeated in each city visited by this exhibit in its five-year tour. The AAA has designed the exhibit to serve as a prototype for small-scale, local exchanges nationwide over race by creating a moment for individuals of varied backgrounds to reach out and share ideas and attitudes. In this respect, it is a model for the way in which conversations concerning race can be engendered, conducted, and maintained. In addition to serving as a model of and for dialogical interactions over race, the exhibit fulfills a practical educational need. To their credit, the designers have subtly woven their representations of race issues into the everyday school routines of middle and advanced high school students. We view the exhibit’s design and presentation of information as an extension of what students ordinarily encounter in their textbooks and other curricular materials. They, however, experience the finished product; the ‘‘behind the scenes’’ give and take of scholars, critics, and educators who made it a reality is hidden from their view. As reviewers, we feel obligated to perform a function similar to that of the educator/critic who offers the best and most honest judgment about the merits of a text, course, etc. The depth achieved by the RACE exhibit demands a critical response of comparable sophistication and expertise. We shall ask whether the exhibit satisfies the goal of the AAA Race Project, ‘‘to help individuals of all ages better understand the origins and manifestations of race and racism in everyday life by investigating race and human variation through the framework of science’’ (‘‘The Story of Race’’ exhibit handout). We intend to comment on the choices made by the AAA and SMM on how to present a subject like race. We shall try to determine whether the present disciplinary structure of anthropology was a factor in shaping the selection of exhibit offerings, as well as interpretations of their significance for the race question. We present our observations with a view toward furthering the evolution of the RACE exhibit as it moves into a variety of venues, and in the hope that this will be the beginning and not the end of AAA-sponsored exhibits on race.

The articles in this influential journal placed it in the thick of a turbulent period for anthropology. Reacting to current research interests and launching what were often heated debates, it set the agenda for disciplinary change and new research.Once described the American Anthropological Association as creating 'a strong voice for anthropology in the public arena', the Founder Editor, Jonathan Benthall, introduces here a personal selection of articles and letters with his own candid retrospect, arguing that the discipline's greatest strength and potential lies in testing and refining the ideas of other disciplines.

Expanding American Anthropology, 1945-1980: A Generation Reflects takes an inside look at American anthropology's participation in the enormous expansion of the social sciences after World War II. During this time the discipline of anthropology itself came of age, expanding into diverse subfields, frequently on the initiative of individual practitioners. The Association of Senior Anthropologists of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) called upon a number of its leaders to give accounts of their particular innovations in the discipline. This volume is the result of the AAA venture--a set of primary documents on the of American anthropology at a critical juncture. In preparing the volume, the editors endeavoured to maintain the feeling of oral history within the chapters and to preserve the individual voices of the contributors. There are many books on the of anthropology, but few that include personal essays from such a broad swath of different perspectives. The passing of time will make this volume increasingly valuable in understanding the development of American anthropology from a small discipline to the profession of over ten thousand practitioners.

THE AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION'S medalist for 1953 is distinguished for the breadth of his anthropological interest, for his productivity in research and writing, and for his services to anthropology as a profession. An outstanding Africanist, Dr. Herskovits has conducted important researches on Dahomey, and has been a leader in drawing attention to the Negro in the New World as a subject of study. His contributions to acculturation and primitive economics show a scholarly mastery of these important areas. Both in field work and in theory his contributions are broad and substantial. Dr. Herskovits has served the anthropological profession in many capacities: as chairman of the Department of Anthropology of Northwestern University; as editor of the AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST; as a charter member of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists; as a member of the Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association; as president of the Central States Branch; as chairman of the Committee on International Relations in Anthropology and of the Committee on Africa of the National Research Council; and as a representative to numerous international congresses. He is a stimulating teacher, a staunch colleague, and an outstanding representative of the profession. He has made his department at Northwestern University a center for African and Afro-American studies and one of the important graduate centers for the study of anthropology in this country.

AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION: Candidates for Nominations Committee Slate A

From the Editor Elaine J. Lawless We want to point out that this issue of JAF is actually a combination of issues 457 and 458. This seemed to be the most prudent way to finish out JAF for 2002 with the last issue to be produced and distributed by the American Anthropological Association in Washington, D.C. This ends a long and productive association between the AAA and JAF. We want to thank all the editors, copy editors, and other personnel at AAA who have worked hard with us to produce attractive and accurate issues of the journal for the past several years. The next issue of JAF will be published and distributed by the University of Illinois Press. Perhaps the depth and breadth of essays in this double issue point toward new directions for JAF. We are pleased to publish articles on Native American riddling, Mayan courtship rituals, lumberjack/lumberjill sporting traditions in the Northeast United States, approaches to belief studies, African American folkore in film, Egyptian tales, and legends in New Mexico. Such a profoundly eclectic representation of scholarship in the field of folklore should inspire us all and profess to the world what it is we do as folklorists. Please feel free to correspond with the editorial staff of JAF at the University of Missouri field office. We appreciate your comments, criticism, and interactions as we try to produce the best possible journal for the American Folklore Society-even as we endeavor to employ new techniques and technologies that will better serve the members of the society. Most importantly, we want your articles. The journal can only be as good, as innovative, as creative, as scholarly, as appropriate to all aspects of the discipline as the articles that are submitted to us. We are an energetic staff interested in a wide range of topics and approaches to the varieties of ways in which we interact with folklore and the areas of inquiry that intersect with our discipline. Please keep us in mind for your very best work. Copyright © 2002 American Folklore Society

This editorial reflects on the controversy at the American Anthropological Association and the Canadian Anthropology Society's conference, where a session on the fixity of biological sex was cancelled. Retracing developments from Simone de Beauvoir's foundational ideas to the theories of second‐wave feminism it emphasizes how the gender concept was posed as a dynamic cultural construct. rather than a fixed biological fate, then shows that biological sex is also more complex than earlier characterizations of it as given, fixed, and immutable. Underscoring the complexities of academic debate and inclusivity, the piece highlights anthropologists’ work in revealing gender diversity and spotlights the role of young LGBTQI researchers in reshaping our concepts of sex and gender, which have moved from fixed binaries to a more fluid understanding in contemporary thought. The editorial concludes with a call for an integrated, non‐dichotomous approach to (cultural) gender and (biological) sex, a nuanced understanding that recognizes their interplay.
