Navajo Kinship and Marriage Unknown - 1986

by Gary Witherspoon


From the publisher

The Navajo are one of the most studied people in the world; yet their social organization is one of the least well understood. In "Navajo ""Kinship and Marriage," Gary Witherspoon, a fluent speaker of the Navajo language who lived among the Navajo for eight years, offers a new theoretical approach to kinship based on its cultural dimensions. Witherspoon makes a primary distinction between culture (patterns for behavior) and the system of social relations (observable patterns of behavior) in this definitive work on Navajo kinship and marriage.
"Witherspoon . . . clarifies problems pertaining to Navajo kinship and marriage through his skillful use of the concepts of cultural and social systems. He adds to the body of knowledge on the Navajo by his own fieldwork and unique life experiences." R. S. Freed, "Sociology" "Not only can Witherspoon's book on Navajo kinship help unravel the web for the Anglo willing to concentrate, it can also bring to Navajo readers an understanding of why Anglos don't understand Navajo family relationships." Joanne Reuter, "Navajo Times"
"This is an important work on Navajo kinship and marriage." David F. Aberle, "American Anthropology""""

First line

The title of this chapter is closely related to that of an article by Clifford Geertz, "Religion as a Cultural System."
