Hunters and Gatherers (Vol II): Vol II: Property, Power and Ideology

by Tim Ingold (Editor), David Riches (Editor), James Woodburn (Editor)

All that is central to the dynamic process in human society is evident in the study of hunter-gatherers - peoples whose subsistence way of life reflects the original form of human adaptation. This is the thesis of these wide-ranging volumes in which internationally leading scholars consider hunter-gatherer peoples in Africa, Asia, Australia and North America and reflect theoretically on the hunter-gatherer condition.Volume 1: Hunters and Gatherers - History, Evolution and Social ChangeVolume Hunters and Gatherers - Property, Power and Ideology
