Abstract

119 and women are facing in the developing nations of Africa. Season of Migration to the North is hardly the last word, artistically or sociologically speaking, but it does make for pleasant reading. University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada GÉRARD TOUGAS BOOK REVIEWS N. Long, Social Change and the Individual : A Study of the Social and Religious Responses to Innovation in a Zambian Rural Community. New York, Humanities Press (Manchester University Press for the Institute of Social Research, University of Zambia), 1969, 257 pp., $ 8.50. Long's book is a highly analytical study of social responses to economic change in one parish in the Central Province of Zambia. Based on field research carried out in 1963-64, it is a work in the evolving tradition of social anthro- pology at the University of Manchester. The book draws a good deal on the recent writings of J. Van Velsen, V. W. Turner, and others.
