Description
This study centres upon the way the fishermen and their families in a village in the Strait of Belle Isle construct their social relations around egality and competition--two values so often mistakenly viewed as irreconcilable--and familism. The most important organizational unit through which these values are expressed is the patrilocal extended family, comprising a fishing crew with all family members helping with catching and processing.
