Gitel P. Steed.

Papers. 1907-1980.

The Gitel P. Steed papers comprise approximately 43 linear feet of material. The bulk of the collection dates from 1949-1951 and consists mostly of research data from the Columbia University Research in Contemporary India Field Project. The data were collected from three villages in western and northern India and include extensive life histories of informants, psychological tests, typed notes, field notebooks, photographs, genealogies, histories, transcripts of interviews, and art work by both researchers and villagers. Other materials in the collection include data from Steed's previous fieldwork project among Chinese immigrants in New York City and lectures and publications about the India Project by Steed and other scholars. The collection was given to the University of Chicago Committee on Southern Asian Studies by Robert Steed in 1978. It was transferred to the University of Chicago Library in 1984. Before the collection reached the Library, James Silverberg and McKim Marriott gave the papers a preliminary order, and their efforts have contributed to the collection's current organization. Additional materials were given to the Library by Robert Steed in 1985 and 1989, and by McKim Marriott and James Silverberg in 1994.

Biographical Sketch

Gitel P. Steed was born Gertrude Poznanski in 1914 in Cleveland, Ohio, the hometown of her mother, Sara Auerbach. Her father, Jakob Poznanski, was a businessman who had immigrated to the United States from Poland via Belgium. She had two older sisters, Mary and Helen, both of whom eventually settled in Israel. As a teenager she adopted the Yiddish name Gitel.

Shortly after she was born, Steed moved with her family to the Bronx, New York, where she attended Waleigh High School. In 1932 she entered New York University, majoring in banking and finance, but dropped out after her first year. She returned to NYU a few years later at the urging of Sidney Hook and in 1938 received her B.A. degree with honors in sociology and anthropology.

During her years at New York University Steed lived in Greenwich Village, where she was connected to the art scene. She sometimes sang blues in nightclubs, and the artist Rafael Soyer painted her portrait ("Girl in a White Blouse," 1932), which now hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It was at this time also that Steed met her future husband, the artist Robert Steed.

In 1938, with financial support arranged by Ruth Benedict, she entered graduate school in anthropology at Columbia University, where she studied under Benedict for three years. During this time Steed undertook the first two of four ethnological projects that marked her career in anthropology. The first of these projects, under the direction of Ruth Benedict, she conducted among the Blackfoot Indians in Montana. Then, from 1939 to 1941 she worked with Vilhjalmur Stefannsson on Inuit in Greenland, studying hunter-gatherer diet and subsistence patterns. Material from this latter project was meant to form the basis of her dissertation, but she never completed this Greenland project and only much later (1969) completed her dissertation, basing it on her India research. In 1941 she left Columbia and worked until 1943 as the senior editor of information at Yale University's Institute of Human Relations.

In 1944 she was invited to join the Jewish Black Book Committee. A group of writers and researchers supported by the World Jewish Congress and other anti-fascist Jewish organizations, this committee documented in detail the Nazi death campaign against Jews in Europe during World War II. The committee compiled papers subsequently published as The Black Book: The Nazi Crime Against the Jewish People (1946). Steed contributed a 130-page section called "Strategies of Decimation" in which she documented Nazi Germany's policies and techniques of extermination.

In 1945 and again in 1947 Steed taught at Hunter College in New York. In 1946 she taught at Fisk University and there edited the journal Race Relations. In 1947 she married Robert Steed, and in 1953 gave birth to their only child, Andrew Hart Steed.

In 1947 Steed began her third ethnological project. Ruth Benedict invited her to join the Columbia University Research in Contemporary Cultures Project, co-directed by Benedict and Margaret Mead. Steed's assignment was to work among Chinese immigrants in New York City under the direction of Ruth Bunzel. The project was funded initially by a grant from the Human Resources Division of the Office of Naval Research, and coincided with the trend in anthropology during and just after WWII to study "culture and personality."

Steed's role in this project was to interview Chinese immigrants in New York. Some of the results of Steed's work were published in Mead and Metraux, The Study of Culture at a Distance (1953). Steed worked with individuals and families who had migrated to New York from China's Kwantung Provice, and used primarily life histories, community "self-analysis," and projective, psychodiagnostic tests. She collected data on friendship and childhood, among other topics.

A subsequent but related project Steed formulated for China had to be cancelled because of the Chinese Revolution of 1949. It was then that she formulated her fourth ethnographic project, a field study in India. This project received funding again through a grant from the Department of the Navy, this one awarded to Dr. Abram Kardiner, a psychiatrist at Columbia University. Steed was appointed Director of the Columbia University Research in Contemporary India Project. She assembled a team of researchers, trained herself in photography, and set out for India to conduct what was her most extensive research project, a project that provided material for her eventual Ph.D. in anthropology.

Upon her return to the U.S. from India in 1951, Steed presented her findings in several seminars. The most in-depth of these seminars was a lecture series she gave at Columbia University in 1953-1954. She presented her research methods and findings over the course of several months at a seminar on the psychodynamics of culture run by Abram Kardiner. During this period, a disagreement concerning methods of analyzing the project data led to a rift between Steed and Kardiner, and Steed's funding was subsequently discontinued. Steed also participated in a seminar series at the University of Chicago which resulted in the publication of Village India (1955).

Steed joined the faculty of Hofstra College in New York in 1962. While teaching at Hofstra, she completed her dissertation at Columbia University, "Caste and Kinship in Gujerat: The Social Use of Space" (1969). Around the same time she also completed a screenplay called "Devgar" about life in village India. The story centers on a landowner named Devgar, whom Steed is said to have modeled after one of her key informants. In 1970 she returned to Kasandra for four months, with her husband, at which time she interviewed many of her old informants about social change in the village.

Steed remained on the faculty of Hofstra University until she died in 1977, at the age of 63, after having battled serious health problems for many years.

The Columbia University Research in Contemporary India Field Project

The India field project was a team effort carried out between 1949 and 1951 in three different villages in northwestern and north central India. The primary research team included Steed, as Project Director; an anthropology graduate student, James Silverberg; a British psychiatrist, G. Morris Carstairs; and Steed's husband, Robert Steed. Silverberg's wife Donna also joined the team for some time, as did an assistant researcher, Cecil B. Massey. They were joined in India by a team of Indian interpreters and researchers. These included Bhagvati Masher and Kantilal Mehta, who worked as interpreters; Nandlal Dosajh, a pyschologist; N. Prabhudas, an economist who conducted the land utilization survey; and Jerome D'Souza as cook. In the second year of research, the team also included an Indian assistant, Tahera, as well as Americans Grace Langley and John Koos. The three villages were "Kasandra" in Gujerat state, "Nawabpur" in Uttar Pradesh, and "Deoli" in Rajasthan. The villages were referred to by these psuedonyms throughout the project. Steed worked primarily in Kasandra for one year (1950). She started work in Nawabpur as well but had to cut her stay there short because of illness. James Silverberg worked in both Kasandra (1950) and in Nawabpur (1951), staying in each place for one year. Carstairs worked almost exclusively in Deoli. He worked there for approximately six months, alone but for one brief visit by Steed in the summer of 1950.

Steed and her team of researchers made use of a variety of fieldwork methods, gathering data both on individual psychology and on social institutions. Most of their data on individual psychology they derived from detailed life histories collected from a sample of informants. These life histories comprised long sets of free-ranging interviews that were designated "personal narrations," a battery of psychodiagnostic tests (whose validity they subsequently questioned and dismissed), as well as watercolors and drawings by both adults and children. Data on social institutions were collected through survey methods as well as participant observation. They completed thorough surveys on land tenure and economic relations, and collected data on economic, political, religious, kinship, and caste organization.

Steed formulated the project within the broader agenda of culture and personality studies in anthropology. The theoretical and methodological agenda of culture and personality studies was to study the relation between individual personality and the socio-cultural context of their enculturation. Steed was interested in studying the extent to which Indian social institutions determined individual behavior and personality. Conversely, she also asked if innate psychological or personal aspects influenced institutions. She analyzed both the cultural and the psychological aspects of character formation and was interested in where these two aspects met.

In order to judge the relation of social institutions to personality formation, the researchers required a basis for comparison, and thus they chose three villages with different institutional frameworks. Kasandra and Deoli were predominantly Hindu villages, while Nawabpur was predominantly Muslim. Each of the three villages had a different land tenure system and political history as well. Linguistically all three were distinct.

While the Columbia University Research in Contemporary India Field Project generated a great deal of data, publications stemming from it were relatively few. Publications included Steed's dissertation, "Caste and Kinship in Rural Gujerat" (1969), and her 1955 paper in McKim Marriott's Village India; Silverberg's dissertation, "Peasant Behavior and Its Caste-Relevancy," University of Wisconsin, 1962; and Carstairs' The Twice Born (1957), and later The Death of a Witch (1983), in which he incorporated materials from a later project as well as the original project.

Organization of the Papers

The Gitel P. Steed papers have been arranged in eight series:

I. Columbia University Research in Contemporary Cultures Project (Box 1)

II. Columbia University Research in Contemporary India Field Project (Box 1-11, 83, 89, Drawer 1-2)

III. Kasandra Files, 1950 (Box 12-55, 83-84, Drawer 2)

IV. Nawabpur Files, 1951 (Box 55-72)

V. Deoli Files, 1950 (Box 72-75)

VI. Art Work by Gitel and Robert Steed (Box 75, 85-88)

VII. Audio-Visual Materials (Box 76-77, Reel 1-2)

VIII. Manuscripts and Publications by Others (Box 78-82)

The basic organization of materials in these series conform closely to the organization of the papers upon their arrival in Special Collections. The main feature of the collection's organization is the separation of material on the three villages in Series III-V, where the bulk of the collection is found. Research notes from the project are found in four basic forms: life histories, general notes, field notebooks, and note extracts. Life histories comprise typed transcriptions of sets of interviews with a select number of informants as well as results and notes taken on psychodiagnostic tests administered by the researchers. General notes are typed notes that the researchers maintained on a daily basis, in which they included the results of participant-observation in the village. Field notebooks are the rough, handwritten primary sources from which both of the former sets of notes were transcribed. Finally, note extracts refer to excerpts cut, sometimes in thin strips of as little as one line of type, from both the general notes and the life history material and then refiled under topical categories such as religion, economics, and caste and kinship.

In addition to these notes, Steed and her team also compiled detailed topical indices to both the general notes and the life histories. The most elaborate indices appear in the Kasandra series and appear under their own subseries heading, "Indices."

Certain conventions adopted by Steed and her research team have been maintained in the collection. These conventions include most importantly (1) the use of pseudonyms and informant numbers to protect the anonymity of informants, and (2) the analysis of life history data, psychodiagnostic tests, and general notes, which has led to duplicated material in different parts of the collection.

Pseudonyms apply to both villages and individual informants within each village. The village pseudonyms and informant numbers used in this inventory are the same as those used by the research team. Informant lists found at the beginning of series III, IV and V list basic information (name, age, gender, and caste) on each informant by number. In cases where there was no informant number provided for a particular individual, the convention has been adopted to label these cases "unnumbered informant."

Duplication of materials in the collection occurs primarily in Series III through Series V. Excerpts of life histories are found in the subsequent topical subseries, which include government, politics and Rajputs, caste and kinship, economics, and religion. The psychodiagnostic tests are cross-filed under the life history of a particular informant and under their own subseries. The general notes are excerpted in the topical files. Furthermore, all three types of data--life histories, psychodiagnostic tests, and general notes--are in part transcripts from the field notebooks.

I. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY RESEARCH IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURES PROJECT

This brief series comprises materials from Steed's research from 1947-1949 among Chinese immigrants in New York City. It includes transcripts of several informant life histories collected by Steed as well as a manuscript by Ruth Bunzel, who directed the project.

II. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY RESEARCH IN CONTEMPORARY INDIA FIELD PROJECT

This series contains general and preliminary material related to Steed's research work in India. The series is divided into five subseries: general files, Columbia University Seminar on Rural India, urban life histories and tests, note cards, and maps and charts.

The General files contain a wide array of materials. Among these are Steed's writings on the India research, including her dissertation as well as a screenplay she wrote based on characters in Kasandra; basic research materials used in the psychodiagnostic tests administered as part of the gathering of life histories; a preliminary research report; newspaper clippings, correspondence, and bibliographies; and a set of detailed inventories of the papers compiled in 1980 by James Silverberg, one of the original project team members. These inventories may be of value to the researcher who wishes to know more about the kind of material located in the files.

The second subseries comprises the set of lectures that Steed presented at Columbia University in 1952-1953. These lectures represent her first and perhaps most thorough examination of her fieldwork material. In these lectures she clearly states her theoretical goals and research methods.

The third subseries contains material which was compiled in urban India prior to the village studies. These interviews and tests functioned in part as trials and in part as points for comparison to the subsequent rural studies.

The Note cards subseries includes two card boxes of field data analysis, consisting of cut and paste notes taken from the General Notes and grouped into a set of topical areas. A third box of note cards consists of reading research notes on books and articles about India.

The fifth subseries contains Maps and charts. The maps range in scale from the Indian sub-continent to state and district maps and maps of the villages produced by the research team. The charts consist of large kinship diagrams as well as posters of caste and marriage relations. Some maps from Steed's early fieldwork in Greenland are also to be found here. These latter are, however, the only material from her Inuit research in the collection.

III. KASANDRA FILES, 1950

This series contains all of the research materials produced from research in Kasandra, a village in Gujerat State. It is the most extensive series in the collection and forms the basis of all of Steed's subsequent writings on India. The series is divided into eighteen subseries.

The first subseries, Informant life histories and psychodiagnostic tests, contains detailed life history material for 25 informants. For each informant there is a personal narration as well as a set of psychodiagnostic tests. The personal narration consists of typed transcriptions of interviews that took place in some cases over the course of an entire year. Informants were asked to speak and reflect as freely as possible on the things that they felt affected their life as they grew up and interacted with others. The psychodiagnostic tests include one or more of the following: Rorschach (which asks informants to identify shapes in ink blots), Thematic Apperception Test (in which informants are shown a series of illustrations and asked to talk about the situation, the people in it, what they might be doing or thinking or feeling), Horn-Hellersberg (a drawing test), Draw-a-man (in which informants are asked to draw and comment on a man, woman and child), and Color Association Test (one specially designed for India, where informants are given a set of words and asked to associate a color with the idea conveyed by the words). The amount of data varies for each informant.

The second subseries, Psychodiagnostic tests, contains the results of all tests categorized not by informant but by the test type. The tests were administered to more informants than were asked to give personal narrations.

The third and fourth subseries contain general notes by Gitel Steed and James Silverberg, respectively. These notes are typed transcripts from the field notebooks and constitute a set of detailed, daily observations of life and work in Kasandra. The notes are chronologically ordered. Duplicates have been maintained in the collection when marginalia between the different sets differs.

The fifth subseries contains a census of the village, including economic information categorized by household and caste. A set of maps of Kasandra is also included. Some of these maps are smaller versions of those found in the Maps and charts subseries of Series II.

The sixth subseries contains a set of indices that Steed and her team devised in order to locate data on certain topics within their notes. Indices for demography, caste, politics, economics, religion, child behavior, and social relations are included. These indices reference the dates and page numbers of data to be found in general notes, life histories, and psychodiagnostic tests.

The seventh through thirteenth subseries are topical, including Government, politics, and Rajputs; Caste and kinship; Economics; Land tenure; Land utilization survey; Structure of family and child life; and religion. All of these headings were established before the collection came to the Library. The materials include maps, charts, genealogies, survey results, copies of government surveys and reports, a few manuscripts on the specified topics, and many extracted notes. The extracted notes are for the most part cut-and-pasted portions taken from general notes and life histories.

The next three subseries contain field notebooks kept by Steed, Silverberg, and others, respectively. These are the notebooks that the researchers carried with them to their interviews and on their daily rounds in the village. Most of the notebooks were later typed up and their entries can be found in other places in the collection. It is not always clear which ones have been typed and which ones have not. Aside from the two main researchers, Steed and Silverberg, others also kept notebooks, including both Indian and non-Indian research assistants as well as informants themselves. An account book kept by Robert Steed is also found here. The notebooks are ordered chronologically, and headings correspond to those found on the notebooks themselves.

The seventeenth subseries contains a large number of watercolors and drawings, in pencil, pen, and charcoal, by informants of all ages. Informants drew people, animals, houses, and landscapes as well as other objects of everyday life. The research team kept an art supply on hand for this purpose. The results are both interesting and in some cases artistically rich. The oversized watercolors of informants 1, 3 and 16 are among the finest examples.

The final subseries contains a set of interviews Steed conducted on a return visit to India in 1970-1971. Accompanied by her husband, Steed conducted several interviews, some with her previous informants, to evaluate perceptions of social change in the intervening twenty years.

IV. NAWABPUR FILES, 1951

This series contains similar materials to those listed above for Kasandra. Nawabpur was predominantly Muslim village in Uttar Pradesh where the researchers moved for their second year in India. Steed was forced to leave halfway through their stay in Nawabpur due to illness, and James Silverberg took over the direction of the project during her absence. Steed's general notebooks were continued, in series, by other researchers after she left the field. There are additionally a series of notes taken by Grace Langley, an American graduate student who joined the project as an assistant this second year. The kinds of data collected were essentially identical to those discussed above for Kasandra, though the quantity is considerably less.

V. DEOLI FILES, 1950

This series contains the typewritten notes and data collected by G. Morris Carstairs in the third village included in the project. Carstairs worked for the most part alone and stayed in the village for approximately six months. Therefore, the amount and range of data he collected are more limited than in the other two villages. A psychiatrist, Carstairs was mostly interested in the life history material, and the bulk of his data is accordingly on particular individuals.

VI. ART WORK BY GITEL AND ROBERT STEED

This series contains 70 photographs by Gitel Steed as well as the artwork of Robert Steed, an artist by profession.

Most of Steed's photographs are believed to come from Kasandra, though some from Nawabpur are included as well. These stunning black-and-white photographs portray parents and children, gods and rituals, and a variety of village scenes. The artistry of the photographs reflects not only Steed's research agenda but also her gifts for visual composition and photographic interpretation. Some of her India photographs appeared in Edward Steichen's exhibit on "The Family of Man" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955 and are reproduced in the book of the same title. Several negatives are also included in the series.

Robert Steed, having accompanied his wife to India, spent a great deal of his time sketching the villagers, their houses, shrines, etc. The collection here includes small pencil sketches on index cards, color and black-and-white xeroxes of other sketches still in the possession of the Steed family, and several watercolors of villagers and of village religious sites.

VII. AUDIO-VISUAL MATERIALS

The film in this series is a 2-reel 16mm film of a village in India, presumably Kasandra. The film is chemically deteriorating and can be viewed only with great care. The sound recordings are similarly fragile. Most of the tapes appear to be interview tapes, and may have been typed up into the project notes. The wire recordings include recordings of songs, but because these recordings require special listening equipment, it has not been possible to ascertain their condition.

VIII. MANUSCRIPTS AND PUBLICATIONS BY OTHERS

This final series of the Gitel P. Steed Papers contains manuscripts and publications that were in Steed's possession. These articles are on a wide variety of topics, primarily on India, and date from 1932 to 1977. Some of the manuscripts are early versions of what later became seminal publications on India (the works of McKim Marriott and Bernard Cohn, for example). Most of the manuscripts in this series are on India.

SOURCES ON SOUTH ASIA IN SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

Among the most important sources for the study of South Asia found in the Department of Special Collections are the papers of S. Chandrasekhar, Edward C. Dimock, Cora Dubois, Mircea Eliade, Albert Mayer, A. K. Ramanujan, Robert Redfield, and Milton Singer.
