内容説明

Combining the themes of kinship, law and political economy this volume focuses on kinship support and sanction in developing countries. The comparisons and case studies range over Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Sri Lanka and several states of India. They highlight different dimensions of changing kinship and gender relations - how people view them, make them, live in them, are influenced by them and how they impact on the wider economic and political environment.
