Abstract
The article concerns itself with some familial role relationships and general qualities of behavior among Serbians. It is based on limited observations in Belgrad and some villages around Loznica and eastern Montenegro. 'The essay does not do justice to ethnographic variations along geographical or class dimensions' and should be, according to the author, taken with reservations. The article offers good descriptions of Serbian ritualized hospitality, sex-role behavior and somewhat less successful (due to the lack of depth study) interpretations of sexual behavior.
