This book is a compilation of essays that explore the concept of family from various anthropological and sociological perspectives. The authors, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Melford E. Spiro, and Kathleen Gough, examine the origin, universality, and cultural variations of the family, challenging traditional notions and offering a critical and comparative view of family structures in different societies. Topics such as the definition of marriage, kinship relations, and the evolution of the family over time are analyzed.
