Village Communities in the East and West (1876)

Village Communities In The East And West is a book written by Henry Sumner Maine and published in 1876. The book is a study of the social organization of village communities in both the East and the West, with a particular focus on India and Ireland. Maine explores the historical development of village communities, their social structure, and the ways in which they have been affected by modernization and colonialism. He examines the role of the village community in shaping social and economic relationships, and the ways in which it has been affected by changing political and economic conditions. Maine also discusses the legal and political systems that have governed village communities, and the ways in which these systems have evolved over time. The book is considered an important contribution to the field of anthropology and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
