“During the 1970s, I came to Britain from the US, where I had been an undergraduate studying agriculture. It was in Britain that I switched to social sciences.

Avtar Brah in "The Scent of Memory," when reflecting on anti-Asian racism in Southhall, writes: "the issue is much more about the position that we politically (in the widest sense) come to __________ [ONE WORD], and not merely espouse, as we 'live' (both consciously and unconsciously) the vicissitudes of our lives."

Between the 1920s and 1960s, many British social anthropologists, including Alfred Radcliffe-Brown, E.E. Evans-Pritchard, and Bronislaw Malinowski, viewed human societies as living organisms, and through fieldwork they sought to analyze each part of the ‘body.’ Each part of society--including the kinship, religious, political, and economic structures--was understood to fit together and have its unique function within the larger structure. Name the conceptual framework [TWO WORDS] that theorized society in this way.
