"The profile of Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard, the anthropologist."@en
"This video details part of the life of Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard (1902-1973). He was the first trained anthropologist to do work in Africa where he lived among the Azande and studied their belief in witchcraft. Later on he worked with a Nilotic people in the Sudan called the Nuer. It was their apparent lack of political institutions, but coherence as a people, that asked interesting questions of a political nature. His discoveries have implications for all of us as we look at the world through the spectacles of our own culture that we so unconsciously wear."

Later, he worked with the Nuer tribe in the Sudan. His work on witchcraft caused philosophers to ask how rational thinking could be defined; his study of tribal organization intrigued political theorists; his attention to the sophisticated religious sentiments of so-called primitive peoples has strongly influenced theologians."@en

"Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard (1902-1973) did studies on the Azande and Nuer people of Africa, noting their apparent lack of political institutions, but cohesion as a people. His discoveries among so-called backward races have implications for those who study theology, politics, philosophy and history, indicating unfamiliar systems of thought have validity."

"University professor Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard taught that Western ideas have many features in common with other cultures and are just as weird and wonderful. He was the first trained anthropologist to do work in Africa, where he lived among the Azande and studied their belief in witchcraft ; later, he worked with the Nuer tribe in the Sudan. His work on witchcraft found philosophers asking what could be considered rational thinking in any society ; his study of tribal organization was intriguing to political theorists ; and his attention to the sophisticated religious sentiments of so-called primitive peoples has had a strong influence on theologians."@en
