Page "Anthropology" Paragraph 52

Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown's influence stemmed from the fact that they, like Boas, actively trained students and aggressively built up institutions that furthered their programmatic ambitions.

This was particularly the case with Radcliffe-Brown, who spread his agenda for " Social Anthropology " by teaching at universities across the British Commonwealth.

From the late 1930s until the postwar period appeared a string of monographs and edited volumes that cemented the paradigm of British Social Anthropology ( BSA ).

Famous ethnographies include The Nuer, by Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard, and The Dynamics of Clanship Among the Tallensi, by Meyer Fortes ; well-known edited volumes include African Systems of Kinship and Marriage and African Political Systems.
