Bridewealth and Dowry - Cambridge Papers in Social Anthropology
Goody, Jack (University of Cambridge)
In these insightful papers, first published in 1973, two leading authorities make a wide-ranging review of ideas and materials on bridewealth and dowry. The authors analyse the two institutions in the contexts of Africa, with its preponderance of bridewealth, and South Asia, where dowry is the commoner institution.
