Overview

The essays in this collection respond to a shift in thinking about social interaction from theories based on symbolic and social structures to phenomenological approaches. One of the consequences of this is that more attention is paid to how indigenous groups themselves perceive their own society and culture. As such, this new research constitutes a major contribution to general social theory.
