AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In the context of the apparent decline of 'the crofting way of life,' Walker surveys the range and types of choices available to individuals as they confront such major life-course decisions as marriage partner, residence, and naming of children. The role of inheritance as a factor in decision-making is given prominence.
