The Canela: Bonding Through Kinship, Ritual, and Sex: Survival Through Social Bonding in Kinship, Ritual and Sex (Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This ethnology follows the lives of the Canela Indians of Barra do Corda, Maranhao, Brazil from the 1890's to the present. Based on more than five collective years of fieldwork since 1957, the book relates how this surviving nation of the Timbira group has retained its traditional culture, including an elaborate bonding system of kinship, ritual - including daily meetings and complex festivals and sex. This case study challenges Western conceptions of socialization for sex as well as adult sexual behavior.
