Poor man, rich man, big-man, chief: political types in Melanesia and Polynesia (translatedfrom English by S.S. Budzinskiy and I.A. Kirpichnikov)

The readers are invited to familiarise themselves with one of the most well-known and influential texts in political anthropology, that is, the article entitled 'Poor Man, Rich Man, Big-Man, Chief: Political Types in Melanesia and Polynesia' (1963) by Marshall D. Sahlins offered here in Russian translation. Drawing on his materials from Oceania, the author describes two 'ideal and typical' forms of chiefdom embodied by the figures of Melanesian 'big-man' and Polynesian 'chief.
