About 150 years ago Lewis Henry Morgan compared relationship
terminologies, societal forms and ideas of property to recognize
the interdependence of the three domains. From a new perspective,
the book re-examines, confirms and criticizes Morgan's findings to
conclude that reciprocal affinal relations determine most
'classificatory' terminologies and regulate many non-state
societies, their property notions and their rituals. Apart from
references to American and Australian features, such holistic
socio-cultural constructs are exemplified by elaborate descriptions
of little known contemporary Indigenous societies in Highland
Middle India, altogether comprising many millions of members.
