Bronislaw Malinowski is one of the founding fathers of modern
social anthropology and the innovator of the technique of prolonged
and intensive fieldwork. His writings about the Trobriand Islands
of Papua were in their time the most formative influence on the
work of British social anthropologists and are of perennial
interest and importance. They produced a revolution in the aims and
field techniques of social anthropologists, and the method he
created is that now normally used by anthropologists in the field.
Malinowski's field material remains compulsory reading for
students. First published in 1979, this book draws from the major
monographs of Malinowski to compile a selection of his writings on
the Trobriand Islanders. In presenting a concise Trobriand
ethnography in one volume, the author gives balanced coverage of
economic life, kinship, marriage and land tenure, and to the system
of ceremonial exchange known as the Kula. He also provides, in an
introductory essay, a critical assessment of Malinowski the
ethnographer, and gives a brief account of the Trobriands in a
modern perspective.
