商品簡介
Social anthropologists from many countries specializing in issues of property and equality share their results and insights from research on hunter-gatherers, pastoralists, horiculturalists, agriculturalists, industrial societies, and nonhuman primates. They combine some of the ground-breaking findings from the 1960s--James Woodburn contributes--with very recent ethnography by a new generation of researchers. With 12 papers, the volume is the first of two collecting the core papers at a June 2001 conference in Halle/Saale. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
