"Meyer Fortes (1906\u20131983) was a South African-born anthropologist, best known for his work among the Tallensi and Ashanti in Ghana.Originally trained in psychology, Fortes employed the notion of the \"person\" into his structural-functional analyses of kinship, the family, and ancestor worship setting a standard for studies on African social organization. His famous book, Oedipus and Job in West African Religion (1959), fused his two interests and set a standard for comparative ethnology."@en . "Meyer Fortes"@en . "Fortes, Meyer"@en . . "1906Z"^^ . .
