Item description from seller

First Edition, first printing, SIGNED by author John L. Comaroff (association copy), in clean original dust jacket. Clean toast brown cloth boards with dark gray lettering on spine. No fading, bumping or wear. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound. Pages and edges are clean and bright with clean blank endpapers. Inscribed and signed on title page: "Terry and June (sp?), Many thanks for EVERYTHING. Affectionately, John 7.xxiii.81." Introduction and one chapter (The Sociocultural Order) has many marginal notes and underlining (mostly in pencil). 293 pages with index.
