Tupperware er en av verdens ledende direktesalgsbedrifter med rundt en million uavhengige selgere. Men produktene hans tok ikke av før en selger fikk i oppgave å utvikle et direktesalgssystem, basert på partys – eller demonstrasjoner som Tupperware selv kaller møtene som foregår hjemme hos folk.

Ida Marie Kramer har i sin hovedoppgave i sosialantropologi gått Tupperware og homeparties nærmere etter i sømmene. I følge med to selgere har hun deltatt i tretten tupperwareselskap i Oslo og omegn. Hun har deltatt på ett selgermøte, og intervjuet selgerne hun var med ut. >> les mer

Lande som Holland, Danmark og Sverige har med tolerance som fortegn ladet indvandrergrupper i stikken. Det kan skabe grobund for ekstremistiske miljøer, siger europæiske eksperter efter mordet på den hollandske filminstruktør Theo van Gogh.

I Sverige forsker antropologen Aje Carlbom i europæisk islam på Lunds Universitet:

»Jeg er enig i, at ekstremistiske islamister har et forrygende marked i ghettoerne overalt i Europa – også i Sverige.« Men Aje Carlbom, der har tilbragt tre år i indvandrerghettoen Rosengård uden for Malmø, tror i højere grad, at integrationsproblemerne skyldes sociale problemer end religion:

»Folk føler sig marginaliserede. Det vigtigste middel til at komme ekstremisme til livs er at give folk et job,« siger han. >> les mer

“Reindeer People” Resort to Eating Their Herds

Ghosta is a shaman who lives with his reindeer in the remote forests of northwestern Mongolia. He believes these sacred forests will die if he and his dwindling tribe of Dukha reindeer people abandon their ancestral homeland. Yet if the Dukha do leave, it’s they themselves who are almost certain to die out.

This, at least, is the conclusion of Hamid Sardar, a Harvard-trained anthropologist with the Geneva, Switzerland-based Axis-Mundi Foundation. Sardar recently spent three years on the trail of Mongolia’s last nomadic reindeer herders. >> continue

China’s minority fears

Five days of pitched battles between thousands of Hui Muslims and Han Chinese villagers in Henan province left at least seven people dead, the latest in a series of large-scale confrontations that have come to light in recent weeks.
