Rezensionen

"This book offers an unrivaled survey and critical analysis of key literatures in the study of kinship and gender, beginning with the classics and extending to new, cutting-edge research in the field. It also offers an argument for the continued relevance of kinship studies in Anthropology, demonstrating the power of culture and larger political and economic institutions in shaping our intimate, personal lives."
Nancy Levine, Professor, Department of Anthropology, UCLA
