Edward E. Evans-Pritchard Livres

Original French edition. Texte extrait de: "L'Année sociologique", seconde série, 1924-1925, tome I.

An abridged version of the 1937 an-thropological study of the Azande of the southern Sudan, the theoretical insights of which have proven increasingly influential among both anthropologists and others

The author of Nuer Religion is one of the classics of British anthropology. His interests focus primarily on the peoples of Africa inhabiting the region of Sudan. The book complements Evans-Pritchard's earlier studies on the Nuer, while also standing as an independent work that analyzes both the Nuer religion and critiques previous anthropological research on "primitive religions." The author presents his own research program on religion, moving away from the generalizations and reductions made by his predecessors. He strongly opposes reducing religion to a social phenomenon, instead highlighting the extremely important individual aspect of Nuer spirituality.
