Notes

1. As Althusser (1971) notes, “The ‘bad subjects’ …on occasion provoke the interventions of one of the detachments of the (repressive) State apparatus. But a vast majority of the (good) subjects work all right ‘all by themselves,’ i.e., by ideology.”

2. Postwar crime in Central America is often described as worse than war (Moodie 2009, 2010).

3. Americo Paredes' stunning reformulation of the works of William Madsen and other anthropologists in South Texas in many ways anticipates Visweswaran's critique of the multiple problematics of the term culture in anthropology. In his “On Ethnographic Work Among Minority Groups,” Paredes exposes how certain literal renderings of marginalized subjects become complicit with how these populations are marginalized (Paredes 1993).
