Book Overview

Kinship Organizations And Group Marriage In Australia is a comprehensive study of the social and cultural practices of indigenous Australian tribes conducted by anthropologist Northcote Whitridge Thomas in 1906. The book provides a detailed analysis of the complex kinship systems and group marriage practices of various tribes, including the Kamilaroi, Kurnai, and Dieri.
