ABSTRACT

All these are in reality bound up together. ere is need for a study not only of native, but also of European sociology. e subject has not yet been tackled by anyone.

Such a question as how much land the natives really need demands a very careful enquiry into native economy along lines which have as yet been hardly even mapped out. Native conomic [sic] methods are bound up with their social organisation and the whole subject is a very delicate one, not by any means capable of a simple solution (of. Malinowski’s article in the Economic Journal, March 1921).2
