Kinship and Marriage among the Nuer (Clarendon Paperbacks) New Ed Edition

This book is part of the classic study of the british anthropologist Evans-Pritchard about the Nuer. Together with other two volumes, one about politics, other about religion, this book is one of the most interesting study about kinship in all social anthropology. It is not only a classical analysis of kinship, discussing categories like 'clan' or 'lineage' in the African context, but Evans-Pritchard also inovates bringing, for instance, the main role of women in the Nuer kinship.
