Synopsis

Book by Strickon, Arnold

Review

School for Advanced Research Press has reprinted an edited volume that addresses a key concept in the study of Latin America, namely patron-client relationships, or informal and voluntary dyadic exchanges between persons of unequal status.... I am grateful to the School...for reprinting this volume. The book holds up well, and offers important lessons for today's students of power, Latin American history, and anthropology's engagement with the tension between sturcture and agency. --Aaron Ansell, Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology
