Abstract
In this paper, Palacio examines household structure and inter-household networks in a poor Garifuna village. He discusses the sharing of food, money, and kin, i.e., fosterage, among households based on their kin ties and obligations. He argues how such relationships and practices facilitate the flow of basic necessities within the community. This document includes the ten-page list of references for the volume 'Diet and Domestic Life in Society.'
