Navajo Kinship and Marriage by Gary Witherspoon

The Navajo are one of the most studied people in the world, yet their social organization is one of the least well understood. In this volume Gary Witherspoon, a fluent speaker of the Navajo language who lived among the Navajo for eight years, offers a theoretical approach to kinship based on its cultural dimensions. Witherspoon makes a primary distinction between culture (patterns for behaviour) and the system of social relations (observable patterns of behaviour) in this work on Navajo kinship and marriage.
