An introduction to the ethnography and human geography of
non-European peoples, this book deals with the economic and social
life of a number of groups at diverse levels of cultural
achievement and in different regions of the world. International in
its scope the book covers: Malaysia, Africa, North America, Canada,
Siberia, the Amazon, Eastern Solomon Islands, India, Central Asia
and the Middle East. Originally published in 1934. This re-issues
the seventh edition of 1949.
Originally published in 1956 this book contains extracts of the
18th century diary of an Efik chief and documents the activities of
slave-traders, the rituals of the Egbo society and many details of
domestic life of among the Efik. This volume includes an English
translation to the diary which was originally written in Pidgin. .
Originally published in 1964 this volume collects together 25
years' worth of journal articles from the UK and USA. It brings
together detailed descriptions and analyses of various aspects of
the Yakoe peoples of the Cross River area of Eastern Nigeria and
includes sections on social organization, economy and religion.
Originally published in 1951 this book analyses the social values
and institutions involved in the establishment and maintenance of
marital relationships. Most of the data is derived from Umor, the
largest of the five Yakoe villages. As well as considering the
conventions through which mariatal values are expressed, the
relation of marital status to the general structure of Yakoe
society is also discussed. The book also determines the extent to
which the values posited by the Yakoe themselves are actually
operative and discusses the changing conditions which have modified
traditional standars of marital behaviour.

First published in 1950 and this edition in 1987, this book is one
of the most wide-ranging and respected surveys on kinship and
marriage in African social life. In his introduction,
Radcliff-Brown provides a masterly analysis of the main features of
African kinship systems and the theoretical problems arising from
the study of them. The contributions range from examinations of
kinship systems among the Swazi, the Tswana, the Zulu, the Nuer,
and the Ashanti, to double descent among the Yakoe and dual descent
in the Nuba groups of the Sudan. The contributrs themselves are
still viewed as giants in their field: Evans-Pritchard, Meyer
Fortes, Max Gluckman, Hilda Kuper, Naderl, A. I. Richards, Schapera
and Monica Wilson.
