About This Item
(New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1960) 0030047854. 233 x 153 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. ix + (iii) + 86; map; some photographs. Wrappers rubbed, partially sunned, and slightly curled; earlier owner's name signed on half-title; occasional fox spot. Good. A volume in the "Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology" series. "This book is many things. ... But most importantly, this book is a case study of contemporary social relations within a complex and changing East African society. The social behavior of the Nyoro is analyzed in various significant dimensions - at the level of political action and legal control, in relationships between neighbours and between man and the supernatural, and within the system of reciprocal kinship obligations. Dr. Beattie has provided us with an unusual combination of historical perspective and functional analysis of a social system." .
