The first edition of System, Structure, and Contradiction was an
important step in merging the materialist determinism of the
structuralist Marxists with the cultural, ideological approach
favored by anthropologists. By reconciling these two traditionally
warring schools of thought, the author provided a more nuanced
understanding of the various factors that drive social change and
social complexity. Though viewed through the lens of an
ethnographic and historical case study of the Kachin of Burman,
Friedman's theory has had a major impact on the work of
archaeologists, anthropologists, world-systems scholars, and
Marxist theorists alike. This new edition of Friedman's much-cited
work contains the full text of the original volume (never published
in North America) along with two related articles by the author,
and a comprehensive new introduction that brings his theoretical
notions, and the debate over this book, to the present. A classic
work of anthropological and social theory, it will be of interest
to scholars and their advanced students in anthropology and related
disciplines.
