THE NUBA: AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE HILL TRIBES IN KORDOFAN
by S.F. Nadel
Published by Oxford University Press. 1st. 1947
Very good condition in a almost very good dustwrapper. This book embraces both anthropological analyses proper - of the Nuba economic system, of kinship organization, of religious beliefs and tribal morality - and the discussion of 'practical' topics such as the policy of Nuba-Arab assimilation, the prospects of native administration in so primitive and heterogeneous a society, and the evolution of a Nuba law adapted to modern conflicts. Red cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. Top edge red.
Light browning and scuffing to endpapers. Text block browned and dusty. Contents clean. Orange dustwrapper is browned, edge-creased, worn at top of spine, tiny hole to rear edge of spine.
