In this issue the editors present a series of articles which, in a number of ways, point up the problems that confront the field investigator. Against the backdrop of Jamaica, Puerto Rico, West Africa, Talladega, Alabama, "Springdale," New York, and a factory in New York, our authors consider methods of conducting field studies and the various ways the people studied manifest their intractability.

Dignified Life

This study deals with Universal Values and Muslim Democracy. This essay draws upon speeches that he gave at the New York Democ- racy Forum in December 2005 and the Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy in Istanbul in April 2006. The emergence of Muslim democracies is something significant and worthy of our attention. Yet with the clear exceptions of Indonesia and Turkey, the Muslim world today is a place where autocracies and dictatorships of various shades and degrees continue their parasitic hold on the people, gnawing away at their newfound freedoms. It concludes that the human desire to be free and to lead a dignified life is universal. So is the abhorrence of despotism and oppression. These are passions that motivate not only Muslims but people from all civilizations.
