Mountain, field, and family the economy and human ecology of an andean valley
Ranging in time and space from medieval China to the mid-twentieth century United States, these essays depict the reciprocal influence of the family and society throughout history. This picture goes beyond merely examining the role of the family in structuring social and sexual rela-tionships to focus on the family as a source of labor and capital accumula-tion and as a mechanism for the transmission of property and the imposi-tion of social control.‘‘The essays in this volume rank with the best social history offered to¬day.”
