Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. MARIAGE IN CULTURE is an innovative text that makes accessible to a broad audience the rich insights anthropology provides into the meaning of marriage in different cultures. Marriage practices in the four societies discussed contrast with each other in dramatic ways-from number of spouses to the meaning of postmarital residence arrangements. The author provides compelling ethnographic accounts of the Kung San (Bushman), Chinese, Iroquois, and Tibetan societies to familiarize students with anthropologists' unique perspective on marriage in culture. Each chapter places marriage within the context of the whole culture, exploring the ways in which different economic, political, family, and gender systems shape the practice and meaning of marriage. The author makes an original contribution by highlighting the importance of postmarital residence in defining different experiences of marriage for husbands and wives in each society.…

Softbound. Zustand: Near fine. Reprint of first edition. In this volume the author documents an exceptional marriage tradition among certain Cantonese communities in Guangdong province, China. In stark opposition to traditional Chinese marriage custom elsewhere, a new bride would remain with her family for up to three years post-marriage, during which she would engage in independent economic activity - a so-called "delayed transfer marriage". Only following the birth of her first child would she leave the familial home to reside with her husband. Until described in this book, the custom was virtually unknown outside or within China, aside from the communities in which it was practiced. A new, not previously owned copy from our bookshop stock. Tape residue marks on EPs from former bookshop protective cover. xv, 221 pp., 8 b&w photos, 4 maps, character lists, references, index. Size: 22 x 14 cm.…
