The works of F. G. Bailey (19242020) provide a seminal template for good ethnography. Central to this is Baileys ability to conceptually connect the well-described micro-contexts of individual interactions to the macro-context of culture. Baileys core concerns the tension between individual and collective interests, the will to power, and the dialectics of social forces which foster both collective solidarity as well as divisiveness and discontent are themes of universal interest; the beauty of his work lies in his analyses of how these play out in local arenas between real people. His models provide nuanced, yet explicit road maps to analysing the different leadership styles of everyday people and contemporary leaders. This volume seeks to inspire new generations of anthropologists to revisit Baileys seminal texts, to help them navigate their way through the ethnographic thicket of their own research. -- .
