Africans, The: An Ethnological Account / Edition 1

by Harold Schneider

Overview

This book treats all of African social interaction as economic in this larger sense (including the various types of marriage, descent, kinship, and political organizations that characterize the continent), and develops a theory of the separation of culture and society that helps bring order to interpretation in ways never done before.
