Kinship, Population and Social Reproduction in the 'New Indonesia': A Study of Nuaulu Cultural Resilience

By Roy F. Ellen

Book Overview

This book examines how kinship organization and marriage patterns have responded to challenges, and suggests that the retention of core institutions of descent and exchange are the consequence of population growth, which has enabled ritual reproduction, and thereby maintained a distinct identity in relation to the surrounding majority culture.
