Description
The Ge-speaking tribes of Central Brazil have always been an anomaly in the annals of anthropology; their exceedingly simple technology contrasts sharply with their highly complex sociological and ideological traditions. This book, the outgrowth of extended anthropological research organized by Maybury-Lewis, at long last demystifies Ge social structure while modifying and reinterpreting some of the traditional ideas held about kinship, affiliation, and descent.
