OBITUARY NOTICE
ANDREW DUFF-COOPER
23 December 1947 - 4 August 1991
IT Is with deep sorrow that we have to announce the death of Andrew Duff-Cooper
on Sunday, 4 August 1991. His death has come as a great loss to his many friends
and colleagues.
Andrew will be remembered well by those who attended or visited the Oxford
Institute of Social Anthropology in the late 1970s and early 1980s. As a
postgraduate student at Merton College from 1976 to 1983, and for a little time
afterwards until he moved to Japan, Andrew was very much a part of the Oxford
scene (when he was not in the field).
JASO readers in particular will remember Andrew as a regular contributor to
these pages. Since he rust reviewed for us in 1983, six of his articles and eleven
reviews have appeared in the Journal, as well as an essay in our fourth Occasional
Paper. Indeed, our last issue, in press at the time of his death, contained an essay
and a review by him.
We hope to be able to publish in future issues some essays and reviews that
remained unpublished at the time of his death. In due course, we also hope to be
able to publish a list of all his publications. An obituary by Rodney Needham will
appear in the issue after next.
