 documented examples of patrilineal practices in Native American Southeastern North American groups that had been previously seen as matrilineal. He found 18th century materials that had been previously ignored.His hypothesis was that matrilineal institutions and patrilineal practices could co-exist. In <mask>' 1957 article "The Nation of Bread" his research approach combined the historical method and the Boasian anthropology. From this approach he stated in a letter to Charles H. Fairbanks, that the confederacies of the Creeks were "confederacies of different cultural units." Which in effect meant that the trial unit was not the nation but the town, and that each town had a different culture. Publications

 from Richard Wright’s ‘frog perspectives’ of
looking upward from below. When we do this, the importance
of color erupts, and the world of Edward Burnett Tylor, Franz Boas,
and A.R. Radcliffe-Brown becomes articulated with the world
of W.E.B. Du Bois, Richard Wright (author), and Frantz Fanon. The
‘frog perspectives’ reveal surprising insights about
anthropology, and these insights are the skeletons in the
anthropological closet.—<mask><mask>, Jr

"I was led into Anthropology by the appeal of the scientific antiracism of the Basin tradition". —<mask><mask>, Jr

"In 1945, I began graduate study at Columbia University, first in political science and then in anthropology. I shifted to anthropology because I assumed that this discipline was the vanguard in the attack against racist thought. I tried to reconcile the concentration on North American Indians that then prevailed in anthropology with my strong interests in history and in the study of Black people by selecting Black-Indian relations in Southeastern North America as the problem for my dissertation. _<mask><mask>

(In regards to Boas) <mask> wrote:

"In the first place, he soft-pedalled what the white man had done. He did not explicitly refer to the slave trade, slavery, segregation, imperialism, discrimination, exploitation, lynching. Instead, he resorted to euphemism: innocuous gloss of these events.Moreover, Boas did not advocate protest and agitation. He did not advocate immediatism. He did not advocate that Negroes should immediately agitate and protest for their rights. He did not condemn what whites had and were doing to Negroes". -<mask><mask>

In his role at the SABC, <mask> was one of South Africa's most popular and respected radio anchors. The SABC described <mask> as a "seasoned journalist and an outstanding broadcaster" and AM Live as "arguably the most influential programme in South Africa". However, in March 2007 <mask> resigned after blowing the whistle on political censorship within the SABC. His resignation was widely thought to indicate his dissatisfaction with internal politics at the SABC. <mask> has a BA in History, African Politics and Southern Sotho, and a BA Honours in Development Studies. He has also worked for the Weekly Mail, Saturday Star and Sunday Independent.He has also presented on television. Whistle-blowing on SABC blacklist
In 2006, <mask> caused a storm of controversy through an on-air whistle-blowing incident in which he revealed political censorship at the national broadcaster. In the live broadcast, <mask> contradicted SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago's denial that the SABC had an editorial blacklist of commentators critical of the South African government or president. He later said that this followed intensive internal discussions over 3 months with concerned SABC staffers, and that others had also taken a stand. An internal SABC commission of inquiry was appointed, headed by Zwelakhe Sisulu and Gilbert Marcus, to investigate the allegations, and in October 2006 issued a damning report against the SABC. The report entirely vindicated <mask>'s statement, finding that there was an arbitrary blacklist of commentators who SABC staff were instructed not to consult. This blacklist

It found that the blacklisting contradicted the SABC's mandate and recommended that new guidelines on commentators be developed through wide consultation in and outside the SABC. Despite the commissioners' strong recommendations that their report be released to the public, the SABC CEO Dali Mpofu chose not to publish it, initially releasing only excerpts, and then unsuccessfully attempting a court interdict against the  Mail & Guardian when they published the full report online. Mpofu's actions were widely criticised at the time. Following the report, the SABC threatened <mask> with disciplinary action for "bringing the organisation into disrepute" but took no action on the commission's findings against Zikalala or the SABC. <mask> reportedly refused to accept an on-air warning for contradicting Kganyago, insisting on a disciplinary hearing instead. Resignation
On 30 January 2007, <mask> announced his resignation from the SABC after 9 years, and held his last show on 2 March.Although initially <mask> did not comment on his reasons, the media reported that his resignation was linked to his dissatisfaction with the SABC's failure to respond to the commission's report. <mask>'s resignation announcement came at the same time as his co-host Nikiwe Bikitsha's departure from the SABC to take up a post with CNBC Africa.

 departure and the lack of action against Zikalala was condemned by media commentators and political parties from COSATU to the Democratic Alliance as a worrying development for media freedom in South Africa.On <mask>'s first After 8 Debate call-in show after his upcoming departure became public, a discussion of the SA film industry began with a caller referring to the "horror movie" of <mask>'s departure. Others said that SABC management should be ashamed of themselves and wondered if <mask>'s successor would have the courage to host a call-in programme investigating the reasons for <mask>'s departure, with <mask> responding that this was "not likely". The Freedom of Expression Institute (FXI) marched to the SABC headquarters on 6 February to demand greater transparency and accountability, saying that <mask>'s resignation and others pointed to victimisation at the SABC, and laid a formal complaint with the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA). The Media Monitoring Project included <mask>'s reinstatement in its wishlist for Thabo Mbeki's state of the nation address on 9 February. Interviewed by <mask> on 22 February following the annual budget speech, Finance Minister Trevor Manuel praised <mask>'s "sterling work" and contribution to changing the face of the SA media. COSATU took out a full-page advert in the Mail & Guardian on 2 March, coinciding with <mask>'s last day on air, paying tribute to him as "an excellent and patriotic journalist". <mask>'s final After 8 Debate was titled "Have we learnt anything from the After 8 Debate?"<mask> was replaced by fellow SAFM presenters, Jeremy Maggs and Tsepiso Makwetla.

texts: Marion Hugh "<mask><mask>. (; born April 19, 1965) is an American former music executive, criminal and the co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records, who was a central figure in gangsta rap's catapult to massive commercialization. This feat is attributed to the record label's first two album releases: Dr. Dre's The Chronic in 1992 and Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle in 1993. Before beginning his music career, <mask> played college football at University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). He then played defensive end for the Los Angeles Rams in 1987 during a player strike as a replacement player. During 1995, Tupac Shakur began a prison sentence of up to four and a half years. <mask> struck a deal with Shakur that October, paying his bail and freeing him from prison pending an appeal of his conviction, while signing him to Death Row Records. In 1996, the label released Shakur's greatest commercial success, All Eyez on Me.That September, after departing a Mike Tyson boxing match in Las Vegas, a group that included <mask> and Shakur assaulted Orlando Anderson, a Southside Compton Crips gang member. Three hours later, someone shot into the car that <mask> was driving and fatally wounded Shakur. Anderson has since become the prime suspect. In the aftermath of Shakur's death, both Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg left Death Row Records. Rapidly, the label declined, and it was soon eclipsed. Meanwhile, allegations mounted that <mask>, beyond employing gang members, had often employed intimidation and violence in his business dealings. From the late 1990s into the

 by <mask>'s client Mario Johnson. <mask> and his bodyguards confronted Van Winkle several times.There was a rumour during that time, that claimed <mask> entered Van Winkle's hotel room and allegedly dangled him by his ankles off the balcony. However, Van Winkle has said that never actually happened, only that <mask> threatened to throw him off the balcony; the claim was resolved in court. <mask> next formed an artist management company and signed prominent West Coast hip hop artists DJ Quik and The D.O.C. Through the latter, he met several members of the seminal gangsta rap group N.W.A. Death Row Records
Dr. Dre and The D.O.C. wanted to leave both N.W.A and their label, Ruthless Records, run by Eazy-E, another member of N.W.A. According to N.W.A's manager Jerry Heller, <mask> and his henchmen threatened Heller and Eazy-E with lead pipes and baseball bats to make them release Dre, The D.O.C., and Michel'le from their contracts.Ultimately, Dre and D.O.C. co-founded Death Row Records in 1991 with <mask>, who vowed to make it "the Motown of the ’90s". Initially, <mask> fulfilled his ambitions: he secured a distribution deal with Interscope, and Dre's 1992 solo debut album, The Chronic, went on to triple platinum status in the United States by the end of 1993. It also made a career for Dre's protégé, Snoop Dogg, whose own debut album Doggystyle obtained a quadruple platinum certification in the United States in 1994.<ref>Rollin' Wich Dre: The Unauthorized Account: An Insider's Tale of the Rise, Fall, and Rebirf of West Coast Hip Hop

Meanwhile, Death Row had begun a public feud with 2 Live Crew's Luther Campbell, and when <mask> traveled to Miami for a hip-hop convention in 1993, he was apparently seen openly carrying a stolen gun. The following year, he opened a private, by-appointment-only nightclub in Las Vegas called Club 662, so named because the numbers spelled out MOB on telephone keypads, MOB standing for Member of Bloods. In 1995, he ran afoul of civil rights activist C. Delores Tucker’s campaign against gangsta rap, whose criticism of Death Row's glamorization of the "gangsta" lifestyle may have helped scuttle a lucrative deal with Time Warner. Tupac Shakur, MC Hammer, Dr. Dre, and the Death Row Label
<mask>'s feud with East Coast entrepreneur Sean Combs ("Puff Daddy") progressed when <mask> insulted the Bad Boy label founder on air at the Source Awards in August 1995.Openly critical of Combs's tendency of ad-libbing on his artists' songs and dancing in their videos, <mask> announced to the audience, "Anyone out there who wanna be a recording artist and wanna stay a star, and don't have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, dancing, come to Death Row." The same year, <mask> offered to post bail () for Tupac Shakur if the rapper agreed to sign with Death Row. Shakur agreed, setting the stage for his 1996 double album All Eyez on Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. M.C. Hammer's relationship with <mask> <mask> dates back to 1988. With the success of Hammer's 1994

 album The Funky Headhunter (featuring Tha Dogg Pound), Hammer signed with Death Row Records by 1995, along with Snoop Dogg and his close friend, Tupac. The label did not release the album of Hammer's music (titled Too Tight) while he had a career with them, although he did release versions of some tracks on his next album.However, Hammer did record tracks with Shakur and others, most notably the song "Too Late Playa" (along with Big Daddy Kane and Danny Boy). After the death of Shakur in 1996, Hammer left the record company. He later explained his concern about this circumstance in an interview on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) since he was in Las Vegas with Tupac the night of his death. Hammer released 2Pac's "Unconditional Love", on his Family Affair album, in 1998. The friendships between Hammer (played by Romany Malco), Tupac (played by Lamont Bentley) and <mask> (played by Anthony Norris) were depicted in the television film, Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story (airing on VH1 in 2001). The label shrank when Dr. Dre, frustrated with the company's increasingly thuggish reputation and <mask>'s violent inclinations, decided to leave and form his own label, Aftermath Entertainment. Murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls: Theories accusing <mask>

Though never charged by any prosecutor for any involvement, <mask> <mask> has been the subject of theories in popular culture about the murder of two well-known rap artists.Tupac Shakur was shot four times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 7, 1996, and died six days later on

texts: September 13. When Shakur's East Coast rival, The Notorious B.I.G. (AKA Biggie Smalls), was murdered in a similar drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California on March 9, 1997, speculation arose that <mask> was involved and that Biggie's death was a revenge killing. Former Death Row artists, including Snoop Dogg, also later accused <mask> of being involved in Tupac's murder. A theory accusing <mask> <mask> in the deaths of both Biggie and Tupac was that of ex-detective Russell Poole, who conjectured that <mask> had Tupac killed before he could part ways with <mask>'s label and then conspired to kill Biggie to divert attention from himself in the Tupac case. The Biggie murder theory implicated <mask> <mask>, a rogue cop, and a mortgage broker named Amir Muhammad (who was never a police suspect) along with the chief of police and the LAPD in a conspiracy to murder and cover up the murder of Biggie. The Biggie theory formed the basis of a  lawsuit by his family, the Wallaces, against the city of Los Angeles.A key source for Poole's theory was Kevin Hackie. Hackie had implicated <mask> <mask> and David Mack. Hackie, a former Death Row associate, said that he had knowledge of involvement between <mask> <mask> and David Mack and other LAPD officers. His information was used by the Wallace family in their suit against the city of L.A. for Biggie's death. But Hackie later told Los Angeles Times reporter Chuck Philips that the Wallace attorneys had altered his declarations. The suit brought by the Wallace family against the city of L.A. based on the

 Russell Poole theory was dismissed in 2010. A 2005 Los Angeles Times article claimed that another source for the theory of Biggie's murder implicating Amir Muhammad, David Mack, <mask> <mask> and the LAPD was a schizophrenic man known as "Psycho Mike" who later confessed to hearsay and memory lapses and falsely identifying Muhammad.John Cook of Brill's Content noted that Philips' article "demolished" the Poole-Sullvan theory of Biggie's murder. Around the same time, Philips wrote an L.A. Times two-part series titled "Who Killed Tupac Shakur?" into the murder of Shakur and events surrounding it based on police affidavits, court documents and interviews. The L.A. Times story indicated that "the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang called the Southside Crips to avenge the beating of one of its members by Shakur a few hours earlier. Orlando Anderson, the Crip whom Shakur had attacked, fired the fatal shots. Las Vegas police discounted Anderson as a suspect after questioning him once briefly. He was later killed in what police said was an unrelated gang shooting."The article implicated East Coast music figures, including Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace, Shakur's nemesis at the time, alleging that he paid for the gun. Before their own deaths, Smalls, his family and Anderson denied any role in Shakur's murder. Biggie's family produced documents purporting to show that the rapper was in New York and New Jersey at the time. The New York Times called the documents inconclusive stating:

The pages purport to be three computer printouts from

texts: Daddy's House, indicating that Wallace was in the studio recording a song called Nasty Boy on the afternoon Shakur was shot. They indicate that Wallace wrote half the session, was In and out/sat around and laid down a ref, shorthand for a reference vocal, the equivalent of a first take. But nothing indicates when the documents were created. And Louis Alfred, the recording engineer listed on the sheets, said in an interview that he remembered recording the song with Wallace in a late-night session, not during the day.He could not recall the date of the session but said it was likely not the night Shakur was shot. We would have heard about it, Mr. Alfred said. Mark Duvoisin, an editor at the L.A. Times, wrote in an opinion piece in Rolling Stone that Philips' account had withstood attacks to its credibility. However, the L.A. Times printed a full retraction of the two-part series and released Philips shortly thereafter during a wave of layoffs. In Tupac Shakur: Before I Wake, a documentary by Tupac Shakur's bodyguard, he and Cathy Scott, author of The Killing of Tupac Shakur and The Murder of Biggie Smalls, said that <mask> would not have placed himself in the path of bullets he knew were coming. On her website Archived Letters Scott responds to a reader of her book stating that she felt there was never evidence to link <mask> to Tupac's murder. Scott also told CNN, "That theory doesn’t even add up.'Open fire on my car, but try not to hit me?'" A 2006 law-enforcement task force probe into Biggie Smalls' murder, which included then-LAPD

texts: Detective Greg Kading, included the murder of Shakur. In his 2011 self-published book, Murder Rap, Kading wrote that Duane "Keefe D" Davis, a member of the "Crips" street gang, gave a confession years later claiming he rode in the car used in the Las Vegas shooting of Shakur. The Crips claimed they had been offered a million dollars by associates of Bad Boy records to kill Shakur. Kading, who named Sean Combs as having been involved in the conspiracy, also wrote that a bounty was offered for <mask> <mask>'s murder. While in Las Vegas, Kading's book claims, Davis and fellow Crips members crossed paths with a BMW carrying <mask> and Shakur. The fatal shots were fired by Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, who sat on the side of the car closest to the BMW.Kading alleged that <mask> hired Wardel "Pouchie" Fouse to kill Sean Combs' most valuable star, Biggie Smalls, a murder done following a party at the Peterson Automotive Museum. Pouchie later survived a murder attempt but died in a drive-by shooting a year after the first attack. Charges were never brought against Fouse or <mask> and the task force disbanded for reasons of "internal affairs." After Shakur's death and the release of Tha Doggfather, Snoop Dogg openly criticized <mask> for the murder of Shakur and left the label in 1998. He signed with Master P's No Limit Records and then forming his own record label, Doggystyle Records. In 2002, Snoop released the song "Pimp Slapp’d", in which he repudiated <mask> and Death Row. In 2006, Snoop again attacked <mask> verbally.<mask> responded, stating

<mask>  (Marathi:द्वारकानाथ शांताराम कोटणीस ; 10 October 1910 in India – 9 December 1942 in China), also known by his Chinese name Ke Dihua (), was one of the five Indian physicians dispatched to China to provide medical assistance during the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1938. Known for his dedication and perseverance, he has been regarded as an example for Sino-Indian friendship and collaboration. Along with the Canadian Dr. Norman Bethune, he continues to be revered every year by the Chinese people during the Qingming Festival, a day used by the Chinese to commemorate the martyrs. Origins
<mask> was born to a middle class Marathi Deshastha Rigvedi Brahmin family in Solapur, Maharashtra, he had two brothers and five sisters. He studied medicine at the Seth G.S. Medical College of the University of Bombay. Indian medical mission

In 1938, after the Japanese invasion of China, the communist General Zhu De requested Jawaharlal Nehru to send some physicians to China.Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, the President of the Indian National Congress, made an appeal to the people through a press statement on 30 June 1938. He arranged to send a team of volunteer doctors and an ambulance by collecting a fund of Rs 22,000 on the All-Indian China Day and China Fund days on 7–9 July. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose also wrote an article in Modern Review on Japan's role in the Far East and denounced the assault on China. The key aspect of this mission was that it was a helping hand from a nation

The mission was reinforced with Nehru's visit to China in 1939. <mask> <mask>, born in a middle class Maharashtrian family from Solapur on 10 October 1910, had then graduated from the Seth G S Medical College, Bombay and was preparing for post-graduation. He asked permission of his family to volunteer for service abroad.<mask>'s younger sister Manorama recalls that her brother wanted to travel around the world and practice medicine at different places. She said "most members of the family knew little about China at that time. We only knew that people used to come and sell Chinese silk,"  While his father Shantaram encouraged young <mask> to venture out, his mother was very sad because he was going that far and worse, in a war zone. A medical team of five doctors (Drs. M. Atal from Allahabad (who was also the leader of the mission), M. Cholkar from Nagpore, D<mask> from Sholapur, B.K. Basu and Debesh Mukherjee from Calcutta) was dispatched as the Indian Medical Mission Team in September 1938. All, except Dr. <mask>, returned to India safely.The team first arrived in China at the port of Hankou, Wuhan. They were then sent to Yan'an, the revolutionary base at the time in 1939, where they were warmly welcomed by Mao Zedong, Zhu De and other top leaders of the Communist Party, as they were the first medical team to come from another Asian country. The 28-year-old Doctor came as a part of the five

In 1939, Dr. <mask> joined the Eighth Route Army (led by Mao Zedong) at the Jin-Cha-Ji border near the Wutai Mountain Area, after his efforts all across the northern China region. His job as a battlefront doctor was stressful, where there was always an acute shortage of medicines. In one long-drawn out battle against Japanese troops in 1940, Dr. <mask> performed operations for up to 72 hours, without getting any sleep. He treated more than 800 wounded soldiers during the battle.He was eventually appointed as the Director of the Dr. Bethune International Peace Hospital named after the famous Canadian surgeon Norman Bethune. In 1940, Dr<mask> met Guo Qinglan, a nurse at the Bethune Hospital. They first met at the inauguration of Dr. Norman Bethune's tomb and Guo was immediately attracted to the Indian doctor. <mask> could write and speak Chinese, which amazed her. The couple got married in December 1941. They had a son on 23 August 1942, who was named Yinhua – meaning India (Yin) and China (Hua), at the suggestion of Nie Rongzhen. Dr. <mask> wrote letters to his family regularly."He sounded very happy in the letters. People used to come to thank him for his help. He was telling the good part," says Manorama. Every place he went in China, he described it in detail in his letters home. The whole family found them to be great fun because what he described was so different from the

 life in India. The hardship of the stressful job as a front-line doctor finally started to take its toll on him and severely affected his health. Only three months after the birth of Yinhua, epilepsy struck Dr.<mask>.A series of epileptic seizures killed him on 9 December 1942, leaving behind his widow Guo Qinglan, and the baby son. Dr. <mask> was buried in the Heroes Courtyard in Nanquan Village. At that time, Mao Zedong mourned his death by observing that "The army has lost a helping hand, the nation has lost a friend. Let us always bear in mind his internationalist spirit." It is said that he joined the Communist Party of China on 7 July 1942, just before his death, but could not be verified. During his mission, he was also a lecturer at the Dr. Bethune Hygiene School of the Jinchaji (晉察冀) Military Command, and the first director of the Dr. Bethune International Peace Hospital, Yan'an. Tribute

Upon his death in 1942, Mao Zedong mourned his death by observing that:

Madame Sun Yat-sen said, concerning his role in the revolution, that "His memory belongs not only to your people and ours, but to the noble roll-call of fighters for the freedom and progress of all mankind.The future will honor him even more than the present, because it was for the future that he struggled." The Martyr's Memorial park in Shijiazhuang city of the Northern Chinese province of Hebei is a famous attraction point. The north and south sides of the park are dedicated to the veterans of the Korean and

Memorial in Solapur, Maharashtra

A memorial of <mask> Shantaram <mask> is installed in his birthplace in Solapur on 1 January 2012.The memorial, at his old residence, has been built by Solapur Municipal Corporation with efforts of Sushilkumar Shinde, who was Union Power Minister during the installation ceremony. Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan was present at the function. Family

In November 1941, about a year before his death, <mask> married Guo Qinglan, (, born 15 September 1916 in Fenyang County, Shanxi Province) a nurse at the Bethune International Peace Hospital. <mask> and Guo had a son on 23 August 1942. At the suggestion of Nie Rongzhen they named the boy "Yinhua" combining the Chinese characters for "Yin" () for India and "Hua" () for China. Yinhua died aged 24 in 1967 shortly before he was to graduate from medical college. His death has been attributed to medical negligence.In 1949, Guo remarried to a Chinese man with whom she had a son and a daughter. Guo Qinglan has been an honoured guest
