Abstract
The data for this study of the collective representation of kinship were collected in intensive interviews with urban middle‐class Jamaicans. Analysis of these data suggests that while the collective representation of kinship and its uses are distinct, the observation of these uses is valuable for the full understanding of the culture of kinship.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
