First published in 1940 and this edition in 1987, this book is a
comparative study of African political institutions. It describes
different types of social organisation that are found in a number
of African societies and analyses the principles underlying these
traditional forms of government. The volume represents the results
of field studies carried out by trained investigators in a number
of areas, and was compiled and edited under the auspices of the
International African Institute. It will be of interest to
students, anthropologists and administrators.
Social Anthropology explains and illustrates the methods of modern
anthropology, tracing its development from pre-nineteenth-century
philosophical speculations and the empirical work of explorers,
missionaries and colonial servants, up to the second half of the
twentieth century. First published in 1951.

The Political System of the Anuak of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan
No Word for Time has garnered superlatives from reviewers and
influentual Native American figures, who have declared it one of
the finest books on Native American spirituality ever written. Evan
Pritchard, a descendent of a Micmac chief, aimed to learn more
about his own native traditions through studying the language of
the Algonquin, the key to their worldview: "They don't write in
metaphor, they speak it; they don't recite poetry, they live it".
The tribes collectively named "Algonquin" once occupied large
stretches of North America, and their influence on our culture is
vast. This edition includes a new index and afterword, and a
beautiful new cover.

2011 Reprint of 1954 American Edition. Full facsimile of the
original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
This is perhaps the first systematic study of the custom,
widespread in primitive societies from ancient Rome to present-day
Melanesia, of exchanging gifts. The gift is conceived as a
transaction forming part of all human, personal relationships
between individuals and groups. These gift exchanges are at the
same time moral, economic, juridical, aesthetic, religious,
mythological and social phenomena. A classic work.
