Marriage Practices in Lowland South America
Editor: Kenneth M. Kensinger
Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 1984 (Illinois Studies in Anthropology, No. 14)
The papers in this book resulted from one of the Lowland South America symposia, organized by Ken Kensinger in 1973 in Bennington College (what we call here “The Bennington Meetings“), which he intended to publish in one of the issues of Working Papers on South American Indians (see Ken’s foreword to the first issue of WPSAI).
We offer here eight of the chapters of Marriage Practices in Lowland South America, which were kindly provided by Janet Chernela (we gladly welcome the missing chapters from members who might have them):
