About This Item
London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1970. 1st Published In UK: 1970 . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo or 8° (Medium Octavo): 7¾" x 9¾" tall. 347 pp. Solidly bound copy with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Occassional pencil markings on text. An ex-university-library copy (Barnard College, New York) with all the common, standard, usual and typical signs (stamps, stickers, envelope, etc.). Slightly bumped cover board corners. No dust jacket. Synopsis: The central argument of this book is that the structuralist theory and method developed by British and American anthropologists in the study of kinship and social organization are the direct descendants of the researches of Lewis Henry Morgan. Re-examining Morgan's work, the book demonstrates how a tradition of mis-interpretation has disguised the true import of Morgan's discoveries and ideas for Rivers and Radcliffe-Brown and the generation of anthropologists inspired by them.
