Love Stories: Language, Private Love, and Public Romance in Georgia (Teaching Culture: UTP Ethnographies for the Classroom)

By Paul Manning

Book Overview

In the remote highlands of the Georgian Republic, a community of Khevsur people once expressed sexuality and romance in ways that appeared to be highly paradoxical. On the one hand, these practices were romantic, but could never lead to marriage. On the other hand, they were sexual, but didn't correspond to what North Americans, or most other Georgians, would have called sex.
