Jack Goody's book explores the development of the discipline of
social anthropology through its key practitioners and how far its
concerns interacted with the political and ideological debate of
the interwar years. It is a study of the different ideological and
intellectual approaches adopted by the emerging subject of social
anthropology and how far these views were incorporated into and
defined by the structures and institutions in which they developed.
However it is also an analysis of how far the subject was created
by its own response to key issues of the time: colonialism -
specifically Africa, anti-Semitism and communism. Goody's approach
is characteristically personal: Malinowski dominates the
discussion, as well as Fortes, Radcliffe-Brown and Evans-Pritchard,
and his own experience, gathered over a wide-ranging life of
fieldwork informs the conclusion of the book.
