Nua Zoku Nile Kei Ichi Minzoku No Seigyo Keitai to Seiji Seido No Chosa Kiroku / Original Title: the NUER (Heibonsha Library)

[Machine Translation] A landmark in the history of anthropology, this is a classic that is still fresh today. The author's research into the society of the Nuer people of the Upper Nile River has resulted in a meticulous description of the lives, social systems, and even world perceptions of these people, whose cattle are of high social value and who lack a unified political system. A first-class ethnography by one of the best fieldworkers of his time. This book, which describes "ordered anarchy," is a must-read in the context of rethinking anarchism from an anthropological perspective.
