Fair to good condition. "Professor Radcliffe-Brown has been called the father of modern social anthropology. . This book contains a selection of essays and addresses published during the past thirty years, which have been here assembled in a single volume to meet a demand from students and teachers. Although occasional papers in the proper sense of that term, each having been written for a special occasion, they nevertheless provide, together with an important new Introduction, a coherent theory for the sociological study of primitive society, as well as an inspiration for those with a general interest in this field. Each of the essays is perfect in conception and in expression, and they are tied together by a consistency and direction which is rare in modern anthropology.".

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a collection of essays by a prominent anthropologist that delves into the intricate structure and function of primitive societies. It explores the evolution of the author's thought over 25 years, reflecting significant shifts in social anthropology during that period. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of global examples, the author investigates kinship systems, social sanctions, and the concept of function in social science. The text challenges conventional historical explanations of social institutions, advocating instead for a theoretical understanding based on the interconnectedness of social processes, structures, and functions. This book meticulously examines the dynamics of social systems, exploring concepts such as social evolution, adaptation, and the interplay between continuity and change. By dissecting the complexities of social life in diverse cultures, the author sheds light on the universal principles that underpin human societies, offering valuable insights into the intricate workings of social organization and cultural traditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
