First line

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

From the rear cover

The Navajo are one of the most studied people in the world, yet their social organization is one of the least well understood. Gary Witherspoon is uniquely qualified to provide that understanding; he has lived with the Navajo for fourteen years and speaks their language. In this definitive work, he combines an extraordinarily high quality of observational material with an innovative theoretical framework. Witherspoon's clear and concise book questions the adequacy of traditional sociological approaches to kinship, making a primary distinction between culture (patterns for behavior) and the system of social relations (observable patterns of behavior).
