International Labour and the Third World. The Making of a New Working Class
Are Socio-Historical Studies of the Labour Process Central to Third World Studies
The confrontation between labour and capital is the central issue in the contemporary Third World. The labour process, in rural and urban areas, is dominated by modes of production which reveal the intrusion of peripheral, incipient and mature capitalism. The decay of older structures, the transition from rurality to urbanism, and the struggle to achieve a new socio-economic and political order, are progressively determined by an evolving two-cla…

Anthropological Theory, Cultural Pluralism, and the Study of Complex Societies [and Comments and Reply]
In this essay I have taken issue with the view that a special kind of anthropology is needed if anthropologists are to make a contribution to the study of complex societies. This point of view appears to represent a response to conditions which have prevailed more or less since the end of the World War II: instability in the newly emerging nations and the availability of funds for the application of social science to the solution of human problem…

Cette conscience de classe naissante s'accompagne d'une prise de conscience polit…

The View from Below: Political Consciousness of the Urban Poor in Ibadan
It is not a question of what this or that proletarian, or even the whole proletariat, at the moment considers as its aim. It is a question of what the proletariat is, and what in accordance with this being, it will historically be com pelled to do. Its aim and historical action is irrevocably and clearly foreshadowed in its own life situation as well as the whole organization of bourgeois society today

But today in the eyes of a large number of thoughtful African leaders, our profession is often viewed as reactionary in outlook and pursuit and romantic in its devotion to ethnological and ethnographic salvage operations. Luckily those of us who have worked in have, by and large, escaped this unfortunate categorization. We are urban anthropologists and if that won't do, we are either students of…

Some Problems of African Urban Family Life: An Example From Kampala, Uganda, British East Africa
It has been asserted that the African family is the "most significant feature of African society" and its "central institution." (Phillips, 1953, p. ix) It has further been pointed out that African marriage is far more than a contract between two individuals but also represents the establishment of a link between two kinship groups. In this respect the payment of some type of wealth is an important part in the forging of a bond between the two ki…
