Book Synopsis Distinct Inheritances by : Hannes Grandits
Book excerpt: "This book explores the relationship between inheritance practices, property systems and kinship. It brings together contributions from family history, demography and social anthropology in order to investigate the origins, workings, and implications of Europe's diverse inheritance systems. The richness and antiquity of Europe's historical archives provide a unique opportunity for anthropologists and historians to develop a shared understanding of the interaction of economic, demographic, and social processes as they unfold over time"--p. [i].
