Document Summary
After the second world war there were many changes in social anthropology. The first reaction has been accompanied by efforts to register customs and attitudes destined to disappear too soon. Political situations also arise in the social structure of the indigenous people, as in any society. When a primitive society begins to realize that there are tools that can facilitate their work, it uses them but with a certain reserve until it adapts to them. With the opening of new markets, the indigenous people have to adapt to these new forms of trade that have no brake and are dedicated to finding better ways to open markets. In some regions of the world, the case of the landowners who are the chiefs of the tribes or, where appropriate, the political representative, who becomes the owner or simply the tax collector, is presented.
