This volume presents a detailed anthropological investigation of sibling relationships in Polynesian, Micronesian, Melanesian and Malay societies from a comparative and regional perspective.
...a major contribution to the study of social organization in that it adds the principle of siblingship, particularly cross-sex siblingship, to descent and alliance as basic to the interpretation of social systems. It should be required reading for all students of anthropology who specialize in social organization. -- Ward H. Goodenough, University of Pennsylvania
