a t TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1951 Changin - --- PAILY TAR HEEL PAGE SEVEN cl ays Of South n-'New;: Volume' One of the most important pub lishing projects in the field of cultural anthropology erer to be undertaken in the South got its start here today with' the release by the Press of "Plantation County," a 235-page volume by Dr. Morton Rubin. "Plantation County"" is a book in which the author, former re search assistant of the Institute for Research in Social Science of the University, writes in entirely new ways about some of the old and new traits of life in the plan tation area of the Black Belt of the South. His story of a county (for this book disguised under the name "Plantation" county) reports and interpret the day-by-day life of the people as observed through the eyes and ears of a modern cultural anthropologist who found his materials among the people and not in documents and im personal surveys. 'The result is a wholly fresh picture of one type of Southern,cornmunity intimately revealed. The Rubin volume is the first of several projected studies spon sored by the Institute for Re search in Social Science and written under the directorship of Dr. John Gillin. Together the books will constitute the most ambitious attempt ever made to study representative southern communities from the point of view of the anthropologist trying to see from first-hand how and why men behave as they do. Other types of communities to be cover5d include a hill com munity, Ta forest . community, a coastal community, and a Pied mont small town. It is hoped by the sponsoring Institute that the group will present the first non partisan, vivid, on-the-spot report of the changing South as it really is. The author of thefirst volume, a native of Boston is at present in Israel, making an anthropo logical study there. ew Author Welcomed Herex New ArtShow Hostess To Open Bookshop Missionary Here The Rev. and Mrs. R.
