"Evans Pritchard, E.E."

Social anthropology - London Routledge & Kegan Paul 1982 - 134p.

E. E. Evans-Pritchard explains and illustrates the aims and methods of modern anthropology. He traces its development, from pre-ninteenth century philosophical speculations and the empirical work of explorers, missionaries and colonial servants, up to the present day. The nature of modern field work, in which the author has himself played an important part, is described. Professor Evans-Pritchard shows the intimate bearing of the study of social anthropology on the administration and welfare of primitive peoples, and indicates what should be the purpose and function of the social sciences in the world today. This work will serve as a valuable introduction to the layman and as a textbook for students of anthropology in this country and overseas.
