About the Author
Max Gluckman (1911-1975) was founder and head of the department of social anthropology and sociology at the University of Manchester. He is well known for his many books and articles on the peoples of South and Central Africa and on social anthropology in general. He was a political activist and was strongly and openly anti-colonial.
Review
“Gluckman’s readers have long been waiting for him to publish a general statement of his thought unfettered by the narrow confines of the technical monograph or journal article and here it is... [A]n elegant, loosely integrated three-hundred page personal document full of insights and aphorisms... [E]asily accessible to the layman.”
—Pierre L. van den Berghe, American Journal of Sociology
“This must surely rank as the best textbook on social anthropology yet to have appeared... Some of Professor Gluckman’s views, especially those on the ritual in social relations, are part of anthropological controversy. But it is not a bad idea to introduce the beginning student to a little polemic. The highly instructive value of the book is indisputable.”
—D. J. Parkin, Man
“[T]he analyses of the individual political systems, as well as the generalizations about power relations in the various African tribes, are most rewarding.”
—Leopold Pospisil, American Anthropologist
