Popis: | Polyandry has long fascinated anthropologists because it is both exotic and disturbing; its presence obscures recognition of all other aspects of a society's marital system. Although previous studies have failed to pinpoint any significant uniformities in the phenomena labelled polyandry, the availability of new data may suggest a pattern of significant similarities and differences, such as in the Pahari and Tibetan cases. Here the differences are product of dissimilar underlying strategies and cultural values. |
