Social Anthropology of Complex Societies

This volume illustrates how much the study of social anthropologists has encompassed other, non-primitive societies: rural Italy, urban Africa, village politics in India and the smaller ex-colonial territories of Fiji and Mauritius are just some of the areas covered by the book. The position and contribution of British community studies is also examined, illustrating how micro-sociology can be made relevant to macro-sociology.Originally published 1966.Banton, Michael is the author of 'Social Anthropology of Complex Societies', published 2004 under ISBN 9780415330282 and ISBN 0415330289.
