Synopsis

This book provides analysis of social anthropology and approaches to the study of patronage and clientage from work done in Latin America in the late 1960s. Essays include discussions on topics as diverse as the effect of societal structures on the actions of individuals and communities wherein women play the roles of both patrons and clients.

About this title

Review:

School for Advanced Research Press has reprinted an edited volume that addresses a key concept in the study of Latin America, namely patron-client relationships, or informal and voluntary dyadic exchanges between persons of unequal status.... I am grateful to the School...for reprinting this volume. The book holds up well, and offers important lessons for today's students of power, Latin American history, and anthropology's engagement with the tension between sturcture and agency. --Aaron Ansell, Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology
