LEADERSHIP AND CHANGE IN THE WESTERN RACIFIC

LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS MONOGRAPHS ON SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Managing Editor: Charles Stafford

The Monographs on Social Anthropology were established in 1940 and aim to publish results of modern anthropological research of primary interest to specialists.

The continuation of the series was made possible by a grant in aid from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, and more recently by a further grant from the Governors of the London School of Economics and Political Science. Income from sales is returned to a revolving fund to assist further publications.

The Monographs are under the direction of an Editorial Board associated with the Department of Anthropology of the London School of Economics and Political Science.

This volume has two quite distinct, yet intertwined objectives. It is an ethnographic and theoretical exploration of leadership and change, and a tribute to one of anthropology's most distinguished representatives, Sir Raymond Firth. The former issues are addressed in . Here we discuss, on a more personal level, Firth's contributions to the discipline of anthropology and this book's evolution.

SIR RAYMOND FIRTH AND ANTHROPOLOGY

A native of New Zealand, Raymond William Firth was born in Auckland on 25 March 1901. He earned a Master's degree in economics (1922) and a Diploma in Social Science (1923) at the University of Auckland. In 1924 he went to the London School of Economics, where, given an opportunity to study with Bronislaw Malinowski, he turned his attention to anthropology and completed a doctoral dissertation on Maori economics in 1927. This was published as Primitive Economics of the New Zealand Maori in 1929.

During his career, Firth conducted research in Malaya and London, and spent short periods in New Guinea and West Africa, However, his most important ethnographic and theoretical contributions have come from his work on Tikopia, a Polynesian society in the eastern Solomon Islands, where he spent twelve months in 1928-29, another five months in 1952, and three months in 1966. From 1930 to 1932 he taught anthropology at the University of Sydney, then returned to the London School of Economics in 1933. He was Professor of Anthropology at LSE from 1944 until his retirement in 1968. From 1968 to 1974, Firth toured the United States and Canada on a series of visiting professorships. He was knighted on 1 June 1973.

Throughout his career, Sir Raymond has been known to colleagues as a scholar, teacher and field worker par excellence. He has been a role model and inspiration to generations of anthropologists in Europe, North America and the Pacific, and is the only living anthropologist to have been knighted for his contributions to the discipline. He is Life President of the (British) Association of Social Anthropologists; an Honorary Fellow of the Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania (ASAO); has delivered Distinguished Lectures to the American Anthropological Association and ASAO; and received many other honors.

Firth is best known for his extensive ethnographic writings. In particular, his work on Tikopia has made that tiny Polynesian enclave one of the world's most thoroughly documented small-scale societies.
