{"product_id":"tiger-in-an-african-palace-richard-fardon-9789956791705","title":"Tiger in an African Palace, and Other Thoughts about Identification and Transformation","description":"Tiger in an African palace collects eight essays about kinship and belonging that Richard Fardon wrote to complement his monographs on West Africa. The essays extend those book-length descriptions by pursuing their wider implications for theory in social anthropology: exploring the relationship between comparison and historical reconstruction, and questioning the fit between personal, ethnic and cosmopolitan identities in contemporary West African nations. In an Introduction written specially for this Langaa collection, Richard Fardon retraces the career-long development of his preoccupation with concepts of identification and transformation, and their relevance to understanding West African societies comparatively and historically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Fardon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9956791709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789956791705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Langaa RPCID\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Richard Fardon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442849820927,"sku":"9789956791705","price":54.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_164b2733-2535-4b22-a6ac-9758a0e77a52.jpg?v=1777200199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tiger-in-an-african-palace-richard-fardon-9789956791705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
