content: The material in sub-series (2.1) is arranged in rough chronological order, with material relating to Kracke's dissertation preceding material relating to Force and Persuasion. Drafts are located at the end of the sub-series. The archivist made every attempt to ensure that different "sets" of manuscripts and chapter drafts were kept together.
scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This sub-series documents the creation of Kracke's doctoral dissertation (which he labeled his "thesis"), "Emotions and Personality in Parintintin Politics: A Study of Political Structure and Commotive Leadership in an Amazon Indian Tribe" (1973), and the resulting book, Force and Persuasion: Leadership in an Amazonian Society (1978). The bulk of the sub-series consists of photocopies of completed dissertation chapters as well as multiple sets of drafts of sections from both the dissertation and book. The sub-series also includes abstracts, correspondence, criticism and reviews, notes, outlines, a copy of Kracke's contract with the University of Chicago Press, and Kracke's dissertation proposal and grant application from the National Science Foundation.
