Anthropology and Family History

David I. Kertzer

Bowdoin College (Brunswick, ME 04011)

The growing interchange between family historians and sociocultural anthropologists is part of a broader movement linking anthropology and history, which is discussed in this article. Two traditions in anthropology—one symbolic and the other social organizational—have contributed in different ways to this in terdisciplinary development. The reasons for paying greater anthropological at tention to historical materials are discussed, as are the benefits to family historians of making more use of anthropology. Among the topics of mutual in terest considered are (a) the need for comparative research; (b) developing analytical tools for kinship study; (c) the relationship between norms and behavior; and (d) the relationship between structure and process.
