CiNii 図書 - Society from the inside out : anthropological perspectives on the South Asian household

This volume focuses on the household as a primary context for the reproduction, and not merely reflection, of society. Domestic groups of north and south India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Indians in Malaysia are studied. Each paper is a critical exploration of the way the household is embedded in society and mediates individual consciousness and societal principles. The contributors demonstrate that the understanding of small scale institutions is integral to a more adequate theory of society.
