Book Synopsis How Kinship Systems Change by : Robert Parkin

Download or read book How Kinship Systems Change written by Robert Parkin and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using some of his landmark publications on kinship, along with a new introduction, chapter and conclusion, Robert Parkin discusses here the changes in kinship terminologies and marriage practices, as well as the dialectics between them. The chapters also focus on a suggested trajectory, linking South Asia and Europe and the specific question of the status of Crow-Omaha systems. The collection culminates in the argument that, whereas marriage systems and practices seem infinitely varied when examined from a very close perspective, the terminologies that accompany them are much more restricted.
