Renewable Icons: Concepts of Religious Power in a Fishing Village in South India
The Anthropology of Christianity
This collection provides vivid ethnographic explorations of particular, local Christianities as they are experienced by different groups around the world.

The categories of the terminology do not rest on the marriage system, as Dumont has argued, but rather on prior considerations of marriageability which ultimately rest on considerations of relatedness. The u…
