Marriage. Difference. Exogamy. Kinship. Relatedness
This thesis is an ethnography about the conjugal relationships between the Kariri-Xocó and the non-indigenous, the “cabeça-seca”. The Kariri-Xocó inhabit the village of the same name, located in a small town in Alagoas in the Lower São Francisco region (Brazil), in close proximity to the non-indigenous people, with whom they establish countless relationships. This study aimed to understand the social transformations and the effects produced as a result of the conjugal produced alliance between the Kariri-Xocó and the non-indigenous, in the context of daily relations in the village.
