The Current Controversy in Kinship
Two major positions have emerged in the debate about the nature of kinship. One argues that kinship can only be analysed from the framework of the biological necessities of human reproduction. The other argues that this position is nothing more than ethnocentric view of kinship derived from European culture and that only a broader cultural approach can provide a meaningful analysis of kinship. In this approach it is necessary to analyse kinship a…

Historical Dictionary of the Comoro Islands
Islands of stark contrasts and complex syncretisms, the comoros hold a major key to the history of the western Indian Ocean area. An invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history, economics, cultures, languages, geography, geology, or politics of the western Indian Ocean
Lewis Henry Morgan and the Prohibition of Cousin Marriage in the United States
In contrast to European countries, individual states in the United States have enacted civil laws prohibiting cousin marriage. Currently, over sixty percent of the states have laws making first cousin marriage illegal. This development in the United States can be best understood by reference to a significant cultural development during the nineteenth century in this country. There was an acceptance of an evolutionary perspective in determining pr…
Music of the Comoro Islands
Complementarity and the Structures of Parallel-Cousin Marriage
The Use of Comorian Documents
The Comorian archipelago is located at the northern end of the Mozambique channel in the western Indian Ocean. Of volcanic origin, the archipelago consists of four major islands and several smaller ones which, for many centuries, have been the sites of ports for ships from Asia, Africa, and Europe. They played an especially prominent role in the networks of maritime trade in the Indian Ocean during the fifteenth century and were involved in the m…

"Comment on Scheffler's "Theory and Method In Social Anthropology
Anthropologists Versus Missionaries
Although a missionary once served as president of the Royal Anthropological Institute, anthropological enculturation commonly includes categorizing missionaries as enemies. The conditioning seems to be more covert than overt, since anthropology texbooks seldom deal specifically with missionary activity and few ethnographies contain condemnations of missionaries. Two presuppositions which may influence the antimissionary attitude are (1) that the …
Matrilocal Residence and Nonsororal Polygyny
In the Comoro Islands the preferred form of marriage is matrilocal nonsororal polygyny. This form is little understood and according to some, impossible. After providing a brief background to the Comoro Islands, this paper illustrates how this marriage pattern operates, and proposes a hypothesis to explain its occurrence in the western Indian Ocean area
Marriage in the Comoro Islands
Ancient Society and Morgan's Kinship Theory 100 Years After [and Comments and Reply]
The synchronic, antievolutionary approach to kinship has made it impossible to grasp its nature and define it adequately. Understanding of the phenomenon is tobe found in the implications of Morgan's distinction between the classificatory and descriptive systems of kinship. These systems are based respectively on the tribal and family organizations, each giving rise to a different notion of kinship: one as recognition of common identity in a mate…
