PDF-(BOOK)-Marginal Gains: Monetary Transactions in Atlantic Africa (Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture

In America almost all the money in circulation passes through financial institutions every day But in Nigerias cash and carry system 90 percent of the currency never comes back to a bank after its issued What happens when two such radically different economies meet and mingle as they have for centuries in Atlantic AfricaThe answer is a rich diversity of economic practices responsive to both local and global circumstances In Marginal Gains Jane I Guyer explores and explains these often bewildering practices including trade with coastal capitalism and across indigenous currency zones and within the modern popular economy Drawing on a wide range of evidence Guyer demonstrates that the region shares a coherent if loosely knit commercial culture She shows how that culture actually works in daily practice addressing both its differing scales of value and the many settings in which it operates from crisis conditions to ordinary household budgets The result is a landmark study that reveals not just how popular economic systems work in Africa but possibly elsewhere in the Third World.

Central as kinship has been to the development of British social anthropology, this is the first attempt by an anthropologist to situate ideas about English kinship in a cultural context. Marilyn Strathern challenges the traditional separation of Western kinship studies from the study of the wider society. If contemporary society appears diverse, changing and fragmented, these same features also apply to people\'s ideas about kinship. She views ideas of relatedness, nature and the biological constitution of persons in their cultural context, and offers new insights into the late twentieth-century values of individualism and consumerism. After Nature is a timely reflection at a moment when advances in reproductive technology raise questions about the natural basis of kinship relations. Lewis Henry Morgan of Rochester, New York, lawyer and pioneer anthropologist, was the leading American contributor of his generation to the social sciences. Among the classic works whose conjunction in the 1860s gave modern anthropology its shape, Morgan\'s massive and technical Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family was decisive. Thomas Trautmann offers a new interpretation of the genesis of kinship, and of the role it played in late nineteenth-century intellectual history. Arctic. Rich in natural resources.
