We the Tikopia : A sociological study of kinship in primitive Polynesia

Recognized as a major work when first published, this title has, over the years, become a classic.

Forming the basis of modern social anthropology, We the Tikiopia stands in the forefront of its literature.

The book is an excellent example of fieldwork analysis of a primitive society; a complete account of the working of a primitive kinship system; and an exhaustive and sophisticated study of Polynesian social institutions.
