What is Tribesmen. -- about?
Tribesmen is an attempt to compress an introductory understanding of forty-nine named tribal ‘segmentary’ societies from around the world into a concise account of just 118 pages. Included in a series on ‘The Foundations of Anthropology’ that was initially meant to have a cultural evolutionary perspective and was organised to focus on the supposed ‘main types of culture’, Tribesmen is, as Sahlins admits, ‘largely about kinship’. The longest section in this volume is Sahlins’ only concerted excursion into the topics of comparative descent, kinship and marriage and includes his analysis of Moala as a system of bilateral—i.e. symmetric—cross-cousin marriage.
