Opis

Documents the dynamics of traditional feasting and the ways in which a bewildering array of different types of feasts benefits hosts. Brian Hayden argues that people's ability to marry, reproduce, defend themselves against threats and attacks, and protect their interests in village politics all depend on their ability to engage in feasting networks.
