(Oxford, Clarendon Press 1963) Jean Buxton notes (page xi) that '...
I owe a great debt to my supervisor Dr R.
G.
Lienhardt on whose help and ideas I have drawn throughout my anthropological work.
When I arrived in the Sudan he was working with the Dinka, and came to meet me and then spent a few weeks with me in Mandari country.' [Chris Morton 24/5/2005]
