The New Anthropology and Its Critics
Edwin Ardener's "The New Anthropology and Its Critics" (1971) offers a critical examination of the emerging trends in anthropological thought during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Ardener argues that these critiques, while valuable, often misrepresent the sophistication of structuralist approaches…

Lineage and Locality among the Mba-Ise Ibo
Opening ParagraphAcross the central area of Ibo country, in the Eastern Region of Nigeria, is a thickly populated belt in which population growth has rarely resulted in the development of compact urban or quasi-urban centres, except under exceptional, generally modern, conditions.
