British social anthropologist.
The most influential British social anthropologist since Bronisław Malinowski and A.R. Radcliffe-Brown, Evans-Pritchard succeeded the latter at Oxford University (1946), where he served as mentor to a generation of students. His studies of African systems of belief, witchcraft, religion, politics, and oral tradition remain foundational to the study of African societies and non-Western systems of thought. Among his major works are
Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic Among the Azande (1937),
The Nuer (1940), and (with Meyer Fortes)
African Political Systems (1940).
