These essays are mainly concerned with the development of some of
Max Gluckman's ideas about African politics. He regarded frequent
rebellions to replace incumbents of political offices (as against
revolutions to alter the structure of offices) as inherent in these
politics. Later he connected this situation with modes of
husbandry, problems of the devolution of power, types of weapons
and the law of treason. He advanced to a general theory of ritual,
as well as to general propositions about the position of officials
representing conflicting interests within a hierarchy, typified by
the African chief under colonial rule. Originally published in
1963.
