Louis Dumont, who died in 1998, was one of the most important
figures in post-war French anthropology. He is well-known for his
early work on India, which culminated in Homo Hierarchicus (1966;
in English 1972, 1980), an anthropological account of the caste
system. He later extended this work into a comparison of the values
of Indian and western society in works like Essays on Individualism
(1986) and German ideology: From France to Germany and Back (1994).
He is also known for pioneering work on kinship in south India and
more generally (for example Affinity as a Value, 1983). The current
volume represents the fruits of this side of his activities and
originated in as a series of lectures providing an account of the
British and French schools for students.
