Unequal Friendship : The Patron-Client Relationship in Historical Perspective Hardback
by Antoni Maczak
Part of the Polish Studies - Transdisciplinary Perspectives series
Hardback
Description
This book analyzes the patron-client relationship over both space and time.
It covers such areas of the globe as Europe, Africa and Latin America, and such periods in time as ancient Rome, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Poland, as well as twentieth-century America.
It also analyzes clientelism in U.S. policy toward the Vietnam War and in Richard J. Daley’s mayoral rule over Chicago. In his comparative approach the author makes broad use of theories from such fields as history, sociology, anthropology and linguistics while considering the global scale of the patron-client relationship and the immense role that clientelism has played in world history.
