Abstract:This paper seeks to set out the present state of knowledge in sociology and social anthropology and to provide some indication of the kinds of research at present in progress and completed. If any general conclusion emerges from this review, it is that our basic ethnographic knowledge is not yet adequate for the formulation with very much precision of any very large number of generalized sociological problems of a theoretical kind.
