| Abstract: | This book had its origins in 1980 when a sociologist friend who was editing the multivolume Handbook of Political Behavior asked me to supply the entry on Political Anthropology. My protestations that I knew no more about the subject than any other budding anthropologist fell on deaf ears. He wanted nothing fancy or even particularly erudite, just a workmanlike overview of the subject matter and theoretical orientation of the sub discipline. How hard could that be? Barely a year out of graduate school and I need of publications to beef up an emaciated vitae, I finally agreed to do it. I thought I could seek out a few overview books and an encyclopedia article or two on the subject, peruse the most important works in the bibliography and write it up in short order. |
