Individual and Society in Guiana: A Comparative Study of Amerindian Social Organisation - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Peter Riviere
In this book, Peter Rivière employs a comparative perspective to reveal that Guianan societies, generally characterized as socially fluid and amorphous, are in fact much more highly structured than they first appear, and he identifies certain common patterns of social organization that result from sets of individual choices and relationships.
