Böcker av C. J. Fuller

This book documents the two sides of Risley¿s career, which is used as a case-study to investigate the production and circulation of colonial knowledge and its often loose and inconsistent connection with administration and policymaking.

This 1976 study examines the Nayars of Kerala who are famous in anthropological circles because, unusually, they trace descent through the female line and, in the past, had a marriage system in which women were allowed several husbands simultaneously. Dr Fuller situates his analysis in its historical context throughout.
