This collection of articles aims at revitalizing the study of
kinship and exchange in a social network perspective. It brings
together studies of empirical systems of marriage and descent with
investigations of the flow of material resources in societies of
Africa, Asia, the Pacific and Europe. Restudies of classic
ethnographic cases and fieldwork studies of kinship and exchange
demonstrate how the social and material aspects of society are
related, and address issues of concern to anthropology and the
neighbouring disciplines of history, sociology and economics. This
book marks the emergence of an era in the study of kinship and
exchange using a productive combination of ethnographic substance
with formal methods, one which leaves behind older
structural-functionalist and culturalist assumptions.
