Kinship Organizations and Group Marriage in Australia is a scholarly work written by Thomas, Northcote Whitridge and published in 1906. The book explores the kinship systems and marriage practices of the Indigenous peoples of Australia, with a particular focus on group marriage. Thomas draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with Aboriginal communities to provide a detailed analysis of the social structures and customs of these groups. He examines the various forms of kinship organization, including patrilineal and matrilineal systems, and the ways in which these systems shape social relationships and obligations. The book also delves into the practice of group marriage, which was common among many Aboriginal communities. Thomas describes the rituals and customs associated with these marriages, as well as the roles and responsibilities of the various participants. He also explores the social and cultural significance of group marriage, and its role in maintaining social cohesion and solidarity within Aboriginal communities. Overall, Kinship Organizations and Group Marriage in Australia provides a fascinating insight into the complex social structures and customs of Indigenous Australian communities, and remains an important work in the field of anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
