Publisher Synopsis
"This volume brings together nine conceptual and theoretical essays by Anthony Leeds (1925-89) whose pioneering work on the anthropology of complex societies was built upon formative personal and research experience in both urban and rural settings in the United States, Brazil, Venezuela, and Portugal. This volume should serve well a broad spectrum of anthropological as well as comparative social theory and contemporary urban studies."-Urban Studies Read more...
