She shows that Malay kinship is a process, not a state: it is determined partly by birth, but also throughout life by living together and sharing food. Carsten gives the reader a fascinating \"anthropology of everyday life,\" including a compelling view of gender relations; she urges reassessment of recent anthropological work on gender, and a new approach to the study of kinship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51876013605152,"sku":"NEW0198280467","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71YI3eaTPjL.jpg?v=1781757422","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-heat-of-the-hearth-the-process-of-kinship-in-a-malay-fishing-community-oxford-studies-in-social-and-cultural-anthropology-0198280467","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
