From the Back Cover

Kinship and Marriage among the Nuer is the second of his trilogy on the society and culture of this pastoral people. In it, the author vividly portrays the experience of growing up in a Nuer community, describing daily life, marriage, sex, death, and birth. He also makes clear the difference between the discourse of kinship and marriage connection, in which women play a central part, and the discourse of lineage structure and political association based on patriliny which he examined in The Nuer.
