| Description: |
An arresting and unique portrait of the House of Lords. Its seductiveness and complex hidden structures are captured in a readable book for researchers, students and the general reader. -- . |
| Synopsis: |
This is the only anthropological book about the British Parliament. It marks the first time a researcher has had almost untrammelled access, and every significant aspect of the Upper Chamber has been inquired into. The result is a unique portrait, packed with the unexpected, of a surprising institution which is becoming increasingly influential. Meticulous scholarship is combined with clarity in explanation to produce a work that helps to bridge the gap between anthropology and political science.Political science scholars and students, and those in related fields, as well as anthropologists, will find it of interest, as will many general readers curious about politics. -- . |
