Description
With a new Introduction by Said S. Samatar and an Afterword by the author
This series of Classics in African Anthropology is primarily drawn from a distinct family of texts which dominated the academic analysis of society in mid-20th century Africa. The texts reproduced are significant yet often neglected, and have stood the test of time.
New edition of I.M. Lewis's classic 1961 study of pastoralism in Somalia, published in association with the International African Institute
