Urbanization and Social Change in Africa [and Comments and Reply]
In recent years anthropologists have been taking an increasing interest in the process of urbanization in Africa, usually seen as an aspect of the wider issue of social and/or cultural change. As individual studies accumulate, we need to develop a framework within which to examine the variables that shape the structure of social relations in modern African towns and cities. Three main determinants of urban social structure are isolated and analyz…
Looking Backward
Social anthropology strives for theoretical understanding of human behavior. It sets out to isolate and expose the regularities manifested in social behavior and to present a rational description of these relationships. It thus shares a general orientation with those sciences that endeavor to discover and analyze the regularities in nature. It shares too with the natural sciences many of the same problems of demonstrating the validity of theory a…

Ethnology and Ethnography
Kinship and Lineage among the Yoruba
Opening ParagraphThis paper presents an analytic description of the principles underlying the traditional kinship system of the Yoruba people of Western Nigeria in the community of Oshogbo. Aggregation into large-scale urban-like communities which are characterized by the close interdependence of their political constitution and their economic and religious systems is a striking feature of Yoruba social organization. In these communities we find …

An Experiment in Methodology in a West African Urban Community
One of the most highly developed and complex cultures in tropical Africa today is found among the Yoruba people of southwest Nigeria. Extending northeast from Lagos, the major coastal port of Nigeria, is a densely populated area comprised of many large communities, characteristic of the Yoruba, whose total population numbers over 3,500,000 persons. The early history of many of these communities is obscure, although it is alleged that many of the …
