AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This monograph describes the experiences of the author and her family living in the household of a south Indian family in Tamil Nadu during the years of 1975-1988. Her observations of family life supplemented by information provided by her pricipal informant, a Tamil scholar by the name of Themozhiyar, who provides a major part of the ethnographic data presented in this work. The central theme of this book is the concept of love in a Tamil family and Trawick describes different aspects of Tamil family life that touch upon love, such as kinship organization, childrearing, sexual relations, habits of speaking, and rules of behavior.
