Mini-set C: Family & Kinship

    by Routledge

    Kinship is a fundamental part of the study and practice of social anthropology and this set includes works by some of the most important authors in the field: J.A. Barnes, Meyer Fortes, Jack Goody, and Rodney Needham. Their volumes re-appraise the work of other well-known anthropologists such as Levi-Strauss and Lewis Henry Morgan and examine theories of kinship from Africa, Europe and the USA.
