Sex, Gender, and Kinship: A Cross-Cultural Perspective

by Burton Pasternak, Melvin R. Ember, Carol R. Ember

Responding to a growing interest in the nature and place of family in society, this text looks at gender, families, family relationships and the role of larger kin groups from a cross-cultural perspective. It draws upon ethnographic accounts and cross-cultural studies to determine and illustrate possible characteristics and outcomes, highlight options that occur more or less frequently, and—where possible—to account for choices made.
