War in the Tribal Zone: Expanding States and Indigenous Warfare (Advanced Seminar Series)
by R. Brian Ferguson, Neil L. Whitehead
Category: Social Science

Compare the impact of expanding states on tribal conflict. From their cross-cultural investigation, the authors have developed a ground-breaking approach to the study of indigenous warfare, one that places tribal societies within the context of a larger and more complex social universe. The result is a radical reinterpretation of ethnographic reality as it relates to tribal warfare and patterns of tribe-state interaction.
