Inequality Among Brothers: Class and Kinship in South China - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Rubie S. Watson
Using historical documents and evidence gathered in the field, Rubie Watson provides a social history of the 600-year-old Chinese lineage village of Ha Tsuen in the New Territories of Hong Kong, and demonstrates the crucial role that the lineage played in the evolution of the community from a few scattered households in the fourteenth century into a regional power from the 1700s onwards.
