| Résumé : |
With the rise of the women's liberation movement has come renewed interest in this classic of historical materialism. In this work, Frederic Engels, Karl Marx's closest collaborator for four decades, examines the social organization of primitive human beings and traces the development of the family, the state, and private property. Drawing on the anthropological studies of Lewis Henry Morgan, Engels demonstrates that these institutions are not “natural” and everlasting but are rather the products of changing social and economic conditions.
This new edition features an introduction by the noted feminist and Marxist anthropologist Evelyn Reed, who relates Engels's findings to the current debates on the role of the patriarchal family as a permanent feature of human life. Reed, the author of Problems of Women's Liberation, contrasts the high status of primitive women with the subjugation of women in class society. She also evaluates Engels's work in light of the dominant trends in the twentieth century anthropology.
Also included in this book is Frederick Engels's article “The Part Played by Labour in the Transition from Ape to Man.” |
