內容簡介
This text explores a paradox of kinship - namely that in any given culture kinship is understood as "natural" or "scientific", but comparing cultures or even different epochs within the same culture reveals how kinship is an ongoing project of human construction. The book consists of a general introduction to the topic and twenty essays examining different aspects of kinship: how family relations and descent are understood, how property is passed down from one generation to the next, how gender differences matter in kinship rules and practices, and how kinship positions held by men and women affect their power in other realms. Areas covered by the book include: China, Italy, India, England, Austria, Jamaica.
