Utilizing approaches ranging from anthropological theory and method to comparative history and religion, she approaches this community from diverse empirical and epistemic angles. Her account of the Samaritans, usually studied for their Bible and their role in ancient history, is enriched by a thorough treatment of the Samaritan family, a powerful institution rooted in notions of patrilineal descent and perpetuated in part by consanguineous marriage (which differs from incest in degree rather than in kind). Schreiber also discusses how the tiny community is affected by its demographic predicament, intermarriage, and identity issues. 410 0$aBrill's series in Jewish studies ;$vVolume 51. 606 $aSamaritans 606 $aMinority families$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSamaritans. 615 0$aMinority families 676 $a305.6/96817 700 $aSchreiber$b Monika$0928731 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458734203321 996 $aThe comfort of kin$92087190 997 $aUNINA
