Description

Kinship and Culture presents Francis L.K. Hsu's groundbreaking hypothesis on the functional relationship between kinship systems and behaviour patterns across different cultural contexts. This Routledge publication sparked significant debate among cultural anthropologists by challenging conventional approaches to kinship study. Rather than treating kinship as merely a mathematical exercise or reducing culture to fragmentary child-rearing practices, Hsu's work offers a more comprehensive framework for understanding how kinship structures shape human behaviour. The book bridges cultural and psychological anthropology, providing readers with alternative perspectives on how societies organise family relationships and transmit cultural values. Essential reading for anthropology students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the deep connections between kinship systems and cultural identity.

Key Features

Kinship and Culture by Francis L.K. Hsu challenges conventional mathematical approaches to kinship study in anthropological research.

Routledge publication explores the functional relationship between kinship systems and behaviour patterns in different cultural contexts.

The book addresses cultural and psychological anthropology through analysis of how kinship structures influence human behaviour and social organisation.

Hsu's hypothesis offers an alternative framework to fragmentary child-rearing practice analysis as the primary causal factor in culture.

This work sparked substantial controversy among cultural anthropologists and points toward more productive avenues for kinship investigation.

Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate study in anthropology, sociology, and related social sciences.
