Religion, Morality and the Person
Meyer Fortes (1906–1982) was one of the foremost anthropologists of this century, who for many years worked among the Tallensi of northern Ghana. Although he published seminally important monographs on Tallensi family and kinship and on political organization, his work on their religion has hitherto remained confined to disparate journals and edited volumes. This collection brings together in one place his major writings on religion.

The Web of Kinship among the Tallensi
Originally published in 1949, this book takes the analysis of Tale social structure further. It shows how the patriarchal principle regulates domestic life and thus moulds individual development among the Tallensi. The analysis of the inter-connexion of Legal, econoic and personal relationships sheds new light on the general problems of social organization in patriarchal societies, both in Africa and elsewhere.

The hinterland of the Gold Coast north of the 10th parallel N. Latitude is a land of sparse forestation lying within the Sudanese Zone. The continuous plains, the monotony of which is, in the dry season, broken only by scattered trees, occasional patches of low bush or a low range of hills, have been described as belonging to an 'Orchard bush' type of country. The Tale settlements occupy an area of some 200 square miles, immediately north of the …

Some of the most useful collections of ethnographic information on West African peoples thus lack the foundation without which a coh…

The Influence of Position in Sibship on Juvenile Delinquency
JUVENILE delinquency, like crime in general, is a complex social phenomenon, the outcome of a large number of contributory factors. This much has been demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt, as may be gathered from any up-to-date text-book of criminology.2 Ranging in an interlinked hierarchy from crude economic conditions such as poverty or bad housing to subtle disturbances of personality which defy scientific classification, these factors have b…
