Abstract
This dissertation is, for the most part, a standard ethnography. Drawing on the perspectives of psychology, it discusses how Enxet subjectivity and personhood is constructed and how it affects Enxet social behavior and well-being. The author makes a solid argument that this subjective approach to understanding Enxet social organization and agency is as valid as traditional anthropological representations of kinship systems and sharing behavior.
