<p>Review in - <strong><em>Anthropos</em></strong>, Vol 99, 2004</p><p><strong>'Although this book is written for anthropologists, the sheer richness of the ethnographic materials described in it will reward some general readers.'</strong><em><strong> -</strong> The Times Higher Education Supplement</em></p>
Explores the concept of 'house' in the context of Levi-Strauss' idea of the house as a link between kinship-based societies and class societies, developing this further into an examination of a conjuncture of architecture, people and symbolism.
