An introduction to the central concerns of social anthropology, presenting an alternative to standard texts. More concerned with the life-worlds of underdevelopment than the primitive or the exotic, it draws on material which evokes current problems of policy and administration in the Third World. The author raises questions of vital importance to contemporary investigation and analysis, and pointers to the future for anthropology

This book describes a Zimbabwean factory nearly three years after independence. The factory which the author has chosen to call 'Zimtex' to conceal its real identity is, in some respects, unique. It is a large textile factory, employing over 500 workers, and has been quoted on the Zimbabwean Stock Exchange for over three decades. Yet it is situated in the countryside surrounded by commercial farmland, over twelve kilometres from the nearest town. In this respect it is not dissimilar to many mining enterprises in Zimbabwe

Untersuchung über die sozio-ökonomischen und politischen Veränderungen der Bevölkerung von Msengezi, Chegutu District

Seit der Unabhängigkeit Simbabwes wurde sukzessive die Autonomie der 1952 gegründeten Universität untergraben. Die Autorin (Professorin der Universität) beschreibt detailliert die einzelnen Schritte und Folgen zunehmender politischer Einflußnahme. Mit der Analyse der politisch-motivierten Studentenproteste des vergangenen Jahrzehnts wird deutlich, daß der restriktive "University of Zimbabwe Amendment Act" (1990) den vulgarisierten Lebenswandel (Drogenhandel, -konsum, Diebstahl, Prostitution) nur zum Vorwand einer politischen Gängelung der Universität benutzt. Die Arbeit endet mit einer Solidarisierung von 380 Universitätslehrern mit der Studentenschaft. Die Reaktion der Regierung bleibt abzuwarten. (DÜI-Sth)
