"The Social Anthropology of Complex Societies." "Tavistock Publ., 1978.". "XLII; 156 S.; 21,5 cm; kart.". "Gutes Ex.; Seiten leicht nachgedunkelt. - Englisch. - Social anthropologists have long protested that their discipline is not a kind of 'barbarology' restricted to the sorts of society we have been pleased to call primitive. This volume gives some indication of such progress as they have made in the study of other societies: Italian peasants, African townsmen, Indian village politicians, Welsh villagers, and the smaller colonial or ex-colonial territories such as Fuji and Mauritius. The papers vary equally in the substantive topics they discuss. Eric R. Wolf illuminates patterns of friendship in the Tirol. Joe Loudon and Adrian C. Mayer report on their field studies: one discusses Welsh attitudes towards mental disorder and the other Indian village elections. Burton Benedict and J. Clyde Mitchell, on the other hand, try to find more general patterns in the social aspects of economic development and the growth of African urban communities. Finally, Ronald Frankenberg assesses the position and contribution of British community studies, showing how micro-sociology can be made relevant macro-sociology. (Verlagstext) / INHALT : ...
