Meyer Fortes

Meyer Fortes was a British social anthropologist who made significant contributions to the study of African societies. Fortes was born in 1906 in Lithuania and moved to England as a child. He studied at the London School of Economics (LSE) and later became a professor of social anthropology at the University of Cambridge. Fortes passed away in 1983, leaving behind a legacy of scholarship that continues to influence anthropological research.

One of Fortes' most significant contributions to anthropology was his work on the Tallensi people of northern Ghana. In his book "The Dynamics of Clanship Among the Tallensi", Fortes examined the social organization of the Tallensi, focusing on the role of kinship and clan membership in shaping social relationships. Fortes argued that Tallensi society was organized around a system of patrilineal clans, which provided the basis for social organization and political authority. He also showed how the system of clans intersected with other social divisions, such as age and gender, to shape social relationships.

Fortes' work on the Tallensi was influential in shaping the study of African societies more broadly. He emphasized the importance of kinship and clan organization in African societies, challenging earlier anthropological _____ _______ _________ _______ ________ ___ ___ _______ _________ _____ _________ __________.
