Book Synopsis
In the mid-1970s, David M. Schneider announced that kinship did not exist in any culture known to humankind. This volume provides an assessment of Schneider's ideas, focusing particularly on his contributions to kinship studies and the implications of his work for cultural relativism.

Trade Review
"David M. Schneider was one of the most influential and important figures in post-World War II American anthropology, and a critical evaluation of his scholarship is both timely and welcome. This stimulating volume will be of genuine interest to academic anthropologists the world over." -- Mac Marshall, author of American Anthropology in Micronesia: An Assessment
