Reviews

This superb anthology extends the emphasis on technology that has become such a prominent feature of much recent anthropological work on kinship - In this richly ethnographic text, the most familiar problems produce the most unusual answers - Each chapter brilliantly combines kinship as a matrix with kinship as a tool, using ethnographic examples that leap off the page. * Journal of Anthropological Research
