Such distinctiveness, Richard Werbner argues, was driven by creative difference, travelling theories and innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. The expansion of social anthropology as a dynamic, open discipline became the hallmark of the Manchester School.\u003cbr\u003eThe remarkable careers and legacies of the Manchester School anthropologists are shown for the first time through inter-linked social biography and intellectual history, to reach broadly across politics, law, ritual, development studies, comparative urbanism, social network analysis and mathematical sociology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Werbner reveals that members of the circle engaged in deep dialogue, enduring friendships, and creative collaboration. The re-discovery of the complexity of their engagement and their lasting impact illuminates the exploration of the frontiers between ethnography, the sociology of knowledge, and the anthropology of colonial to postcolonial change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Discussing the failings as well as the achievements of the Manchester School, this book is a welcome invitation to rethink how anthropology was influenced by a group of people with a dedication to understanding the complexity of post–World War II colonial and postcolonial challenges.'\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Anthropologist\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1 Max Gluckman in South Africa: role model, early leadership \u003cbr\u003e2 Max Gluckman’s commitments, projects and legacies\u003cbr\u003e3 Elizabeth Colson: home town anthropologist, systems sceptic \u003cbr\u003e4 Clyde Mitchell and A.L.
