Friendship, descent and alliance are basic forms of relatedness
that have received unequal attention in social anthropology.
Offering new insights into the ways in which friendship is
conceptualized and realized in various sub-Saharan African
settings, the contributions to this volume depart from the recent
tendency to study friendship in isolation from kinship. In drawing
attention to the complexity of the interactions between these two
kinds of social relationships, the book suggests that analyses of
friendship in Western societies would also benefit from research
that explores more systematically friendship in conjunction with
kinship.
