{"product_id":"african-societies-lucy-mair-9780521098540","title":"African Societies","description":"In African Societies, Lucy Mair unites the two main strands of anthropology teaching: the discussion and illustration of the various analytical concepts used by anthropologists in the study of social systems; and ethnography - the detailed study of particular societies, nowadays obtained by participant observation. All societies discussed are in sub-Saharan Africa. This 1977 book will be of great use to students of social anthropology studying ethnography. Presenting as it does brief ethnographic accounts of a wide variety of African societies, as well as exemplifications and discussions of many theoretical concepts, the book offers the reader quick and easy access to a large body of information which previously had to be mined from a large number of monographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Mair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521098548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521098540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/1974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.59d","brand":"Lucy Mair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717147226367,"sku":"9780521098540","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a119931a-e260-4639-ad33-09844fd340d7.jpg?v=1705687155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/african-societies-lucy-mair-9780521098540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
