Know about the book -

Time and Social Structure and Other Essays is written by Meyere Fortes and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1000323706 (ISBN 10) and 9781000323702 (ISBN 13).

The papers reprinted in this volume have been selected with two considerations in mind: they record ethnographical observations from my field work among the Tallensi and in Ashanti that are not easily accessible elsewhere but continue to be useful for comparative studies and as background to current research in Ghana; and they represent applications of methods of analysis and schemes of interpretation that were emerging in British structural anthropology at the time of their publication. The Monographs on Social Anthropology were established in 1940 and aim to publish results of modem anthropological research of primary interest to specialists.
