Gunnar Landtman

Originally published in 1938, The Origin of the Inequality of the Social Classes presents ethnological research into how rank and inequality has been created or formed in various societies. This study especially focuses on recent changes in aboriginal cultures with particular attention paid to the Kiwai Papuans of British New Guinea whom Landtman researched extensively from 1910-1912. This title will be of interest to students of Sociology and Anthropology.

SAMHÄLLSKLASSERNAS UPPKOMST kartlägger ojämlikhetens begreppshistoria och reella karriär med specialintresse för kulturantropologiska betraktelser. Privatbesittningens genombrott och den sociala differentieringens följder diskuteras som moderna samhällets villkor. Det påstås att meningen av klassåtskillnad, tjänstskyldighet och herravälde skulle vara "svårt att klargöra för naturmänniskorna" som verkligen tänker att "alla människor äro lika". ntamo-eftertryck av klassiker publicerad i 1916 av Åbo Akademi & Schildts Förlag.
