Other Cultures provides a lucid introduction to social
anthropology. The author devotes the first part of the book to a
consideration of what social anthropology is and seeks to do, what
areas it covers, and the methods of investigation employed by
social anthropologists. The second part discusses the major
categories of research through which social anthropologies have
advanced our knowledge of other cultures. These include marriage,
kinship, political organization, law, economic and property
relations, magic, religion, and social change. The final chapter
surveys some of the contributions social anthropology has made to
the understanding of other cultures. A short reading list follows
each chapter.
