Kinship & Gender

Second Edition, 2000. In this revised and updated edition of Kinship and Gender, Linda Stone uses anthropological kinship as a framework for the cross-cultural study of gender, and she focuses on human reproduction and the social and cultural implications of male and female reproductive roles. The book provides coverage of the field of kinship at the introductory level, and it also provides an exploration of the major issues and debates in the study of the interrelation of gender and culture. In this new edition, material on primate kinship and new reproductive technologies has been updated; three new case studies on primate kinship, American kinship, and new reproductive technologies are included.
