Axel Sommerfelt, a prominent figure in Norwegian and Scandinavian anthropology, has made significant contributions to the field, yet his work remains largely overlooked. This book serves as a compilation of some of his critical writings, newly written articles, and an interview that places him in the context of 'North Sea social anthropology' and highlights his ongoing relevance. Sommerfelt, an Africanist by training, conducted research in Ruwenzori, Uganda, and the Belgian Congo. Additionally, he wrote extensively about the Tallensi people of Ghana and spent several years working in Salisbury, Harare, before being forcibly evicted by Ian Smith's racist regime in 1966. His contributions to political anthropology, methodology, and legal anthropology have enduring significance.
Sommerfelt's research in Ruwenzori, Uganda, and the Belgian Congo, his writings on the Tallensi people of Ghana, and his experiences in Salisbury, Harare, all contribute to his understanding of the complexities of human societies and his commitment to social justice. His insights into political anthropology, methodology, and legal anthropology have enduring value and continue to inspire scholars and researchers in the field.
Despite the limited recognition he receives, Axel Sommerfelt's work remains a testament to his dedication to anthropology and his commitment to making a positive impact on the world. This book serves as a valuable resource for those interested in learning more about his life and work and his contributions to the field of anthropology.
