Kinship and the Social Order

Více o knize

The book explores the evolution of anthropological theory and methodology in kinship and social organization, tracing its roots from Lewis Henry Morgan to the 1960s. Meyer Fortes, a prominent social anthropologist, argues that the structuralist approaches developed by British and American scholars are directly influenced by Morgan's foundational research. Through his extensive experience, Fortes provides a critical analysis of how these theories have shaped the understanding of social structures over time.
