- Summary:
- Max Gluckman, born in South Africa, founded the Manchester School of Anthropology in the late 1940s, bringing a case study approach unprecedented in qualitative research. He was one of the first scholars to bring conflict theory into elements of anthropological analysis, drawing from broader Marxist theories and analyzing elements such as power differentials, inequality, class conflict and ideology and of the structural approaches of Radcliffe-Brown and Evans-Pritchard. He was also the director of the Rhodes Livingstone Institute in Northern Rhodesia, developing it into a major center of British anthropological research. Gluckman conducted his PhD research and much of his later research with the Rhodes Livingston Institute with the Lozi of Barotseland in modern-day Zambia. The Max Gluckman Papers include documents from Gluckman's time with the Rhodes Livingstone Institute. The collection focuses on Gluckman's early fieldwork with the Zulu and later work with the Lozi, with a scope from the mid-1930s through the mid-1940s.
