Summary

Does kinship still matter in today’s globalized, increasingly mobile world? Do family structures still influence the varied roles that men and women play in different cultures? Answering with a resounding ‘yes!’, the authors offer a lively introduction to and working knowledge of kinship. They link these concepts to cross-cultural gender studies.
