Fadwa El Guindi situates suckling (often given other names or subsumed under misleading classifications) squarely in the analytical category of kinship, with recognition that kinship is necessarily biological, societal and cultural. The volume takes kinship study beyond origins, nature-culture debates, and social nurturing and relatedness, and challenges claims of deterministic, reductionist formulas.
As well as key reading for those involved in milk kinship research, this book is valuable for
anthropologists, Middle East scholars and others with an interest in breastfeeding, family and social organisation, and religion.
