Book by Karl Marx, Lawrence Krader

This book treats all of African social interaction as economic in this larger sense (including the various types of marriage, descent, kinship, and political organizations that characterize the continent), and develops a theory of the separation of culture and society that helps bring order to interpretation in ways never done before.

A Century of Controversy: Ethnological Issues from 1860-1960 (Studies in Anthropology) [paperback] Service, Elman Rogers [Jul 01, 1985]

First published in 1928, this volume provides a study of tribal culture on Rossel Island, otherwise known as Yela, the easternmost island in the Louisiade Archipelago, in what is now Papua New Guinea. The material used was collected by the author during a two-month stay on the island in 1921, whilst holding the position of Assistant Anthropologist to the Papuan Government. Although it was originally intended as a general survey, the text devotes special attention to aspects of life on the island that had been insufficiently analysed in past studies - a complicated network of social relationships and a monetary system. It is also notable for containing an introduction by the renowned anthropological pioneer Alfred Cort Haddon (1855-1940), along with numerous illustrative figures. This is a fascinating book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of anthropology and Melanesian cultures.

In this volume, Hans-Joachim Koloss describes the circumstances and settings of his ethnological research on secret societies in Oku and Kembong in Cameroon from 1975 to 2005. The comprehensive material collected in the course of his research—particularly on the monarchical, egalitarian, and religious traditions—is a basis for discussion, not only of specific aspects of modern fieldwork theory, but also of the results gained by other fieldworkers in Oku. This is the final volume of his Cameroon trilogy.
