Description

Explore the foundations of anthropological theory with Kinship and the Social Order: The Legacy of Lewis Henry Morgan. Published by Routledge, this work examines the deep connections between the research of Lewis Henry Morgan and the structuralist methods used by British and American anthropologists. This book provides a detailed re-examination of Morgan's original work. It looks at how a tradition of mis-interpretation has shaped the way his discoveries were understood by major figures like Rivers and Radcliffe-Brown. By analyzing these historical perspectives, the text reveals the true meaning of Morgan's ideas and their influence on subsequent generations of anthropologists. Whether you are a student of sociology or a professional in the social sciences, this book offers a clear look at the development of kinship studies and social organization. It serves as an essential resource for understanding the lineage of anthropological thought and the evolution of structuralist theory.
