Rethlddng Klnshlp and Marriage (A.S.A. Monographs, 11). Edited by R. Needham. 1971. London: Tavistock Publications. A vol. in-8”, cxviii + 278 pp., figs, tabs, bibl., index. Bound E4.40. This volume is concerned with two of the fundamental topics of social anthropology, kinship and marriage, approached from a variety of viewpoints. The papers cover an extremely wide range of subjects, including incest, epistemology, sentiments, linguistics, prescriptive alliance, and methodology, and draw on fieldwork carried out in Burma, Ceylon, New Guinea, Australia, Africa, and South America. The main critical outcome of this monograph is that even the most basic categories of anthropological research have only a precarious significance and may actually be hindrances to understanding.

This volume is broadly arranged in three parts.
