Merging materialist determinism with cultural and ideological perspectives, this influential work offers a nuanced understanding of social change through the ethnographic study of the Kachin in Burma. The new edition includes the original text, previously unpublished in North America, along with two related articles and a comprehensive introduction that contextualizes Friedman's theories within contemporary debates. This classic text is essential for scholars and advanced students in anthropology and related fields, impacting various disciplines including archaeology and Marxist theory.
