PLURALISM IN AFRICA
Edited by Leo Kuper and M.G. Smith
In this outstanding contribution to social science theory and the

anthropologists, and sociologists, all familiar with African societies,
attempt to develop a theory of social pluralism derived from the work of
JS. Furnivall, They test its utility by application to a variety of African
situations, processes, and problems, and try to identify the critical factors
associated with the emergence, persistence, and transformation of these
types of societies.
