There has been much discussion in recent years about the construction of theoretical models useful in the explanation of particular areas of social organization.

First published in 1965.

This volume illustrates how much the study of social anthropologists has encompassed other, non-primitive societies: rural Italy, urban Africa, village politics in India and the smaller ex-colonial territories of Fiji and Mauritius are just some of the areas covered by the book.
