Tesesix lectures were given on the Third Programme
of the B.B.C. in the winter of 1950. Except for a few
minor verbal alterations they are printed as they were delivered. I thought it unwise to change, or add to,
what was written to be spoken within the limits imposed
by the medium of expression and for a particular purpose
and audience.
Social anthropology is still little more than a name to most people, and I hoped that broadcast talks on the
subject would make its scope and methods better known.
I trust that their publication as a book will serve the same
purpose. As there are few brief introductory guides to
social anthropology I believe that this book may also be
of use to students in anthropological departments in
British and American universities. I have therefore
added a short bibliography.
