People of the Sea: Identity and Descent Among the Vezo of Madagascar
ISBN: 9780521433501 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Vezo are fishing people of western Madagascar. The identity of the Vezo is not fixed by descent; rather, it is established by what they do. They are people of the sea, distinguished from the farmers around them by their economic specialism. Ethnicity is usually thought to be a consequence of inborn qualities acquired by descent, and Astuti explores the consequences of ascribing ethnic identity with reference to economic activity.

People of the Sea: Identity and Descent Among the Vezo of Madagascar
ISBN: 9780521024730 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Vezo, a fishing people of western Madagascar, are known as 'the people who struggle with the sea'.
