This volume in honour of Professor Mair reflects the range of her interests, and those of the Department in which she taught, in many areas of social anthropology, for it reports on research in Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean, on the tensions between tradition and modernity, between the individual and society, deviance and conformity, stability and conflict. The ambiguities of social change and the choices thus presented to individuals are examined in all the essays and issues of modem politics and development dominate most of them.
The contributors to Choice and Change: Essays in Honour of Lucy Mair, are: Pierre Alexandre, Jeremy Boissevain, John Davis, Maurice Freedman, Jean La Fontaine, Peter Loizos, David Seddon, Anne Sharman, Sandra Wallman and Paul Stirling. John Davis also edits the volume.
