Details
- Abstract / Summary
- Three typewritten pages contain an outline for a chapter on chieftainships among the Trobriand Islanders -- part of a section on social structures -- possibly in support of 'Coral Gardens and Their Magic.' The chapter begins with a meta-discussion of the importance of the chosen chapter structure. Included is: specific discussion of the relationship between the position of the headman of a village and the rank of the clan to which he belongs; the basis of political power; and mythological and traditional basis of a chief's prestige.
