| Description: |
Provides a systematic introduction to the political systems of tribal societies. This book discusses the relation between disputes and struggles for power within the context of mechanisms of social control and stability. It presents a step-by-step survey of the cumulative development of anthropological analysis of tribal institutions. |
| Synopsis: |
What can we learn from deceptively simple tribal soci eties about the ways in which man resolves his coni--C icts with other men? How can the social anthropologist aid in our understanding of the problems of power and social control common to all societies, from the simplest to the highly complex? What special tools of the anthropologist enable him to view these phenomena scientii-- cally. |
