Informação do Conhecimento Comum em inglês. Edite para a localizar na sua língua. Social anthropology in its modern form is only about forty years old, and during its short history it has changed and developed fast.
Foreword. This account of the Lunda-Ndembu is based on two periods of field research carried out between December 1950 and February 1952, and May 1953 and June 1954, after my appointment as a Research Officer of the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute.
Acknowledgements. In this book I attempt to isolate the cardinal factors underlying Ndembu residential structure.
Preface to the first edition. It is now more than a decade since Schism and Continuity was first published. From this perspective it emerges clearly as a transitional book between the prevalent structural-functionalism of British anthropology in the 1940s - the period in which I received my training - and the processual analysis of the 1960s.
Preface to the 1968 edition. This book is primarily what Professor Fortes would call a 'histological' study, an attempt to analyse in close detail the form and functioning of a sub-system, the village, within a wider system, the totality of Ndembu society.
Chapter I. Historical and ecological background. | |

In its general form, then, Ndembu society falls into that category of societies of which Professor Evans-Pritchard writes that 'the political organization takes a ritual or symbolic form which in politics with a higher degree of organization gives way ... to centralized administration'.
