Fifteen Generations of Bretons: Kinship and Society in Lower Brittany, 1720–1980 - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Martine Segalen
Following a community of Breton peasants over fifteen generations, Martine Segalen traces the effects of economic changes on family life and analyses the strategies of marriage alliance and inheritance which were used to shore up social hierarchies. She thus reveals the importance of kinship networks in social intercourse, both today and in the past.
