Format: VII,246 S.

Content: "The articles written for this book show how the religious ideas and ritual actions of the people express their pervasive materialism and rationalize their often tense relations between men and women. The authors show also how the exchange of women in highland societies reflects the political and economic ties between different groups, and how marital preferences and prohibitions influence these relations".--Cover.
