Mair Lucy
Description
This book, first published in 1965, was quickly recognized as an outstandingly clear and lively account of the development and contemporary content of social anthropology as taught in the West.
In this edition the author clarifies the relationship between social anthropology and sociology, and extends her discussion of aspects of social anthropology. She examines the economy of food-collectors, the notion of surplus, and recent views on primitive money. There is an extended discussion of the treatment of law by British and American anthropologists; the chapter on social change has been substantially revised as well.
About the author
Lucy Mair was Professor of Applied Anthropology at the London School of Economics from 1963 to 1968.
