Opis

This collecton reasserts the importance of kinship, and of studying kinship, within the framework of social anthropology. The contributors look at both the benefits and burdens of kinship across cultures, and examine how relatedness is inextricably linked with other concepts which define people's identity - such as gender, power and history.
