Property and Equality: Volume I: Ritualization, Sharing, Egalitarianism by Thoma

Description: Property and Equality by Thomas Widlok, Wolde Gossa Tadesse The ethnography of egalitarian social systems was first met with sheer disbelief. In contemporary times, it is hotly debated in a number of fields and has gained sophistication as well as momentum. This collection of essays on "property and equality" acknowledges this diversification by presenting research results in two complementary volumes. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The ethnography of egalitarian social systems was first met with sheer disbelief. Today it is still hotly debated in a number of fields and has gained sophistication as well as momentum. This collection of essays on "property and equality" acknowledges this diversification by presenting research results in two complementary volumes. They bring together a wide range of authoritative researchers most of whom have worked with hunter-gatherer groups. These two volumes cover existing ethnographic and theoretical ground while maintaining a clear focus on the relation between property and equality. The book consists of the most recent work of prominent members of the original group of researchers in hunter-gatherer studies among them James Woodburn and Richard Lee, and very recent ethnography on hunter-gatherers and other egalitarian systems. Author Biography Thomas Widlok obtained his PhD in Social Anthropology at the LSE and has taught anthropology in the universities of London, Cologne, Kyoto, and Heidelberg. He was a member of the Max Planck Cognitive Anthropology Research Group in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Currently he is a research staff member at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle/Saale, Germany. Review "These excellent books enrich our understanding of immediate return societies and the persistence of immediate-return arrangements in delayed-return societies. I was reflecting recently that anthropologists have not given sufficient attention to Woodburns theoretical framework. These contributions go a long way towards filling that gap." · Jérôme Rousseau in Anthropological Forum Review Quote "These excellent books enrich our understanding of immediate return societies and the persistence of immediate-return arrangements in delayed-return societies.
