The Mediterranean countries have long attracted the attention of social anthropologists, from Frazer and Durkheim to the present day. In this volume, first published in 1977, Dr Davis reviews the extensive anthropological material collected and published by people who have worked in the area and claims that social anthropologists have a distinctive opportunity to compare similar kinds of institution and process in a variety of contexts - political, economic, bureaucratic, religious. He examines countries, tribes and communities stretching from Spain all the way round the Mediterranean and back along the coast of North Africa. In chapters on economics, stratification, politics, family and kinship, he has found it possible and sensible to set Albanian and Berber tribesmen beside each other, and to discuss Italian and Lebanese peasants in the same paragraph. The result is both a survey of the anthropological material and an essay in comparison, founded on a critique of the work of his predecessors and colleagues. The last chapter is an account of the uses anthropologists have made of the historical sources available to them., 6, South Africa: Ernest Stanton Publishers, 1977 "At this crucial point, the future of South Africa probably depends more on one man than at any other time this century. And that man is Balthazar Johannes Vorster, Prime Minister for the last eleven years. But who is Vorster? Who is the man behind the dour public mask? Where does he come from? What are the forces, the events, the influences which moulded him? How did he rise from being interned as a state security threat to become Prime Minister of perhaps the most controversial country in Africa? John D'Oliveira, one of the few journalists who knows Vorster well, one of the select handful who have won his confidence over the years, sets out to answer these questions in a biography compiled mainly out of ori ginal material, mainly out of interviews with the people who have been involved with Vorster from his childhood to his Premier ship. An exercise which has only been pos sible because of the Prime Minister's own co-operation. A book which for the first time, tells the full story of the young Afrikaner nationalist who was interned without trial during the Second World War because of the leading role he played in the Ossewa Brandwag movement, who at one time eschewed par liamentary democracy, who was vigorously rejected by the National Party as a parlia mentary candidate in 1948 but who rose in thirteen brief parliamentary years from backbencher to Prime Minister. A true and unbiased account of the man Balthazar Johannes Vorster." 292 pages with photographs. -------------------- Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
