Maasai of Matapato
A Study of Rituals of Rebellion
AvPaul Spencer
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
779 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
When first published in 1988, this classic study was the first to relate the dynamics of the Maasai age organisation to the tensions within the family. Together, these provide the twin strands of a man's career, opposed ritually and reflecting a fundamental ambivalence in Maasai thought. The analysis is illustrated with extensive case material from the the Matapato, selected for this study as a typical Maasai group.
Samburu
A Study in Geocentracy
AvPaul Spencer
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
681 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Samburu society is a gerontocracy in which power rests with the older men; men under thirty may not marry or otherwise assert their personal independence. This nomadic tribe from the arid regions of northern Kenya cling to their traditional way of life despite the rapid change throughout Africa. The author spent more than two years during the 1960's amongst the Samburu, and as an adopted member of one of their clans, he perceived how their values and attitudes are closely interwoven with a social system that resists change.
Aboriginal Woman Sacred and Profane
AvPhyllis Kaberry
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
835 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
First published in 1939 by Routledge, this classic ethnography portrays the aboriginal woman as she really is - a complex social personality with her own prerogatives, duties, problems, beliefs, rituals and point of view. This groundbreaking and enduring study was researched in North-West Australia between 1935 and 1936 and was written by a woman who truly pioneered the study of gender in anthropology
Women of the Grassfields
A Study of the Economic Position of Women in Barmenda, British Cameroons
AvPhyllis Kaberry
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
624 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This classic ethnography examines the social and economic position of women in Bamena, British Cameroons, in 1944. The field study was prompted by the conditions in Bamenda, when despite considerable natural resources, there was underpopulation, a very high infant mortality, and the status of women was very low. This rich and engaging study looks at all aspects of life in Bamena, and includes a number of original photographs.
Custom and Politics in Urban Africa
A Study of Hausa Migrants in Yoruba Towns
AvAbner Cohen
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
414 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Based on Cohen's fieldwork in the 1960s among the Hausa migrants, a people of the Yoruba area (then the western region of the Federation of Nigeria), Custom and Politics in Urban Africa looks at how ethnic groups use elements of tradition in jostling for power and privilege in new urban situations. This is a landmark work in urban anthropology and provides a comparative framework for studying political processes in African societies.
Hunger and Work in a Savage Tribe
A Functional Study of Nutrition Among the Southern Bantu
AvAudrey Richards
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
737 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Hunger and Work in a Savage Tribe examines the cultural aspects of food and eating among the Southern Bantu, taking as its starting point the bold statement 'nutrition as a biological process is more fundamental than sex'. When it was first published in 1932, with a preface by Malinowski, it laid the groundwork for sociological theory of nutrition. Richards was also among the first anthropologists to establish women's lives and the social sphere as legitimate subjects for anthropological study.
