Chinese Lineage and Society: Fukien and Kwantung

This book takes the argument first set out in Lineage Organization in South-Eastern China a step further. It incorporates some of Professor Freedman's field data (gathered in the Hong Kong New Territories in 1963) and draws on a wide variety of written sources. As in his first book on the subject, the author seeks to analyse certain crucial institutions of Chinese society within the framework of contemporary anthropological theory.Freedman, Maurice is the author of 'Chinese Lineage and Society: Fukien and Kwantung', published 1971 under ISBN 9781847881946 and ISBN 1847881947.
