5.0 out of 5 stars
Still the one ...,
By Ben Franklin "You tired too?" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kin Groups and Social Structure (Paperback)
This is Ben Franklin's favorite introductory kinship textbook.
Keesing combined many positive qualities - he was a scholar of great breadth, a confident, original thinker, and a clear, unpretentious teacher. This text benefits from all these characteristics. It has great diagrams, clear explanations, and a capacity to tackle the real stuff of descent and alliance, terminologies and technical concepts, without vagueness or bombast. If you want your students to understand the basics of kinship, without dodging the issues, this is a great foundation. That it was published in 1975 obviously dates it somewhat, but it is a grand alternative to recent offerings nonetheless. |
