AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article deals with the significance of kin groups among market women in northern Haiti. It focuses on the significance of kinship ties in fascilitating the selling of eggs and live fowl by rural women in nearby urban markets. It discusses how these women organized themselves into 'working units' by cultivating kinship, both actual and artificial, ties among themselves. These ties helped them to sanctioned specific rights and reciprocal duties to each others.
