The long and ongoing research experience has been tremendously enriching for the investigators and our now adult children, who first arrived in the viIlage as toddlers and infant. From what our vilIage friends convey, satisfactions with this enduring relationship have been a two-way process. But beyond personal affect, what is the intellectual value of long-term study of a single community? Over thirty years ago the opportunity to document European village Life, in this case a village in Serbia, presented itself as a challenging academic endeavor. From the perspective of Anglo-American scholarship at that lime, the only significant works on Balkan peasant society were Sanders' pioneering Balkan Village, and the writings of Moseley on the structure of the zadruga. Their researches were based on pre-war investigations and were important statements for earlier points in time. Apart from our analyses of wide-ranging sociocultural, economic and demographic changes over time, the ongoing nature of our work as it continues to evolve over several decades in the village of OraBac in Sumadija affords simultaneous appreciations for dynamics of transformation discerned on a human scale.Publication Open Access America and Laos: Two Views of Political Strategy and Technical Assistance(1958) Halpern, JoelPublication Open Access Conrad Maynadier Arensberg (1910-1997)(1997-10) Halpern, JoelConrad Maynadier Atensberg died on February 10, 1997. Connie, as he was known to his legions of students, colleagues and friends, was 86. Connie's work was key to the development of anthropology as a natural science in a hierarchy with the other natural sciences, each with its own specific unit of observation-that of anthropology being human interaction.Publication Open Access The Zadruga: An Anglo-American View(1966) Halpern, JoelThis paper concentrates on the South Slav extended family as viewed by observers writing in English, principally British and American. Specifically included are the writings of nineteenth century travelers and, in the twentieth century, the observations of ethnographers, sociologists and anthropologists. These are compared to analyses made by Slavic scholars. Most of the material is from Yugoslavia, and data from Bulgaria is also included.Publication Open Access YUGOSLAVIA the SOCIETY(1969) Halpern, JoelThis annotated area guide presents a judicious evaluation of those writing which are particularly relevant to the contemporary political, socioeconomic, and intellectual life of Southeastern Europe.

It was a mid-September morning, the snow had just begun to fall from a bleak, gray sky. From the train one saw nothing but a stretch of barren Arctic tundra. I felt more depressed than at any time since I had left home three months ago. In the past few days I had been completely frustrated in my attempts to visit with the Nomad Lapps, and now that I was leaving the country I had to abandon any hope of doing so.Publication Open Access
