". . . fascinating in-depth account . . . this study merits praise for its
clarity and economy, unencumbered by jargon or posturing."--Lore and Language
What transactions take place when one villager wants another to build him a boat?
Chiaramonte traces the complex and delicate series of social exchanges that are set in process by this
seemingly straightforward 'economic' transaction.
". . . the ethnographic data are well handled . . . his analysis should have wider methodological
relevance, particularly for those areas where dyadic contracts loom largely in the anthropological
world view."--American Anthropologist
