Sommario/riassunto: | Feasting has long played a crucial role in the social, political and economic dynamics of village life. This work documents the dynamics of traditional feasting and the ways in which the array of different types of feasts benefits hosts. Hayden argues that people's ability to marry, reproduce, defend themselves and protect their interests all depend on their ability to engage in feasting networks. |
