The Oriental, the Ancient and the Primitive: Systems of Marriage and the Family in the Pre-Industrial Societies of Eurasia (Studies in Literacy, the Family, Culture and the State) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not the most exciting of Goody's books for the general reader, but great for any student of human families. Goody has encyclopedic knowledge of the ethnography of families from western Europe to east Asia and the wide-ranging comparative perspective to bring the material into focus. He combines close reading with theoretical brilliance. This is the work of a profound scholar who has distilled a life-time of study.
