This classic work, which involved the collaboration of leading
figures in the field of social anthropology, was the first to
undertake the comparative study of African politica systems, as an
example of the wider field of study of political institutions in
traditional societies in general, which is an important branch of
anthropology but which had not, until this book appeared, received
the attention it deserved. The book is based on field studies of
eight African societies: the Zulu, the Ngwato, the Bemba, the
Kingdom of Ankole, the Kede, the Bantu, the Tallensi, and the Nuer.
The continuing importance of the book lies in its illustration of
the application of the comparative method, in the accounts of
different African societies by distinguished anthropologists who
were instrumental in establishing the field, and in the unique
portrait it presents of traditional African societies at the end of
the colonial era, poised upon the brink of a time of great change.
