Individualism and Equality [and Comments and Replies]
This paper examines, at the level of values, the relationship between individualism and equality. It has been widely held, since the time of Tocqueville, that, whereas traditional societies emphasize hierarchical values and collective identities, modern societies are marked by their simultaneous concern for equality and the individual. The assumption of a correspondence between individualism and equality appears to be challenged by programmes of …
Sex of Offspring and Fertility in South Asia: Demographic Variance and Decision Procedures in "Joint Family" Households
Using materials from India, this paper explores some of the implica tions of stochastic demographic variation for theories of household management and fertility. The sex composition of Indian families is highly variable. Such variation may have a negative impact on household viability. Householders sometimes try to control it, therefore, through behaviors that influence mortality differentials by sex. Analyses of birth intervals and reproductive …
The acquisition of social deixis: Children's usages of 'kin' terms in Maharashtra, India
In relatively unstructured interviews, Maratha and Brahmin children in Maharashtra, India, are asked to identify and to speak about household members, relatives, friends, and neighbours.

Kintype classification and concepts of relatedness in South Asia
Focusing on alternative analyses of South Asian materials, this paper examines several of the assumptions underlying structural semantic analyses of systems of kintype classification. It is argued that inappropriate genealogical concepts must be avoided in the interpretation of such systems and that indigenous concepts of relatedness must be distinguished from kinship terms per se. It is suggested that intraregional comparisons may be used to cho…
