Reproduction and Social Organization in Sub-Saharan Africa

"A unique and pathbreaking work that will exert a lasting influence on the thinking of demographers, anthropologists, and development specialists working in Africa."—Etienne van de Walle, Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania

"The collection is remarkable in its concentration on culturally-bound determinants of fertility that are particular to Africa and consequently require a departure from the now classical styles of demographic analysis for other regions. . . . A high-quality treatment of a topic of quite broad interest."—Odile Frank, World Health Organization, Geneva
