The study of family and inheritance systems is a traditionally
anthropological one. Dr Davis has examined a South Italian town
with records from 1814 and concludes that the present 'typical'
European system is of recent adoption, a response to the gradual
and peculiar integration of Pisticci into a nation-state and
national economy. The account of landholding distinguishes
carefully between legal rights and informal cessions of land, and
agriculture is put into the context of other economic activities.
Dr Davis emphasises the structural importance of kin, family and
neighbourhood relationships as bases for the creation of more
ephemeral ties of friendship, clientage and network.
