Kiss The Magnolia Tree
Three years after the tragic death of his artistic wife, Douglas White enrolled for one year of graduate work at Erskine Seminary in upstate South Carolina. Doug and his dog, Sugar Baby, packed up and moved to the beautiful old village of Abbeville, South Carolina from the bustling university city of Knoxville, Tennessee. After a proper interview with the formidable Margaret Bowie, he rented a room in her home, Bowie Hall. Little did Doug know that this event would lead to an amazing adventure for both of them. Being a therapist for twenty-three years helped Doug navigate the compelling Miss Margaret, her biting dog Possum, the brokenness of personal loss, and the intricate subtleties of southern traditions. Doug suspected from the beginning that Miss Margaret and he shared a love of dogs, but the rest of the story would be a total surprise.

Network Analysis and Ethnographic Problems
Using network visualization and the study of the dynamics of marriage choices, Network Analysis and Ethnographic Problems expands the theory of social practice to show how changes in the structure of a society's kinship network affect the development of social cohesion over time. Using the genealogical networks of a Turkish nomad clan, authors Douglas White and Ulla Johansen explore how changes in network cohesion are revealed to be indicative of key processes of social change. This approach alters in fundamental ways the anthropological concepts of social structure, organizational dynamics, social cohesion, marriage strategies, as well as the study of community politics within the dynamics of ongoing personal interaction.
Kinship, Networks, and Exchange
This collection of articles aims at revitalizing the study of kinship and exchange in a social network perspective. It brings together studies of empirical systems of marriage and descent with investigations of the flow of material resources in societies of Africa, Asia, the Pacific and Europe. Restudies of classic ethnographic cases and fieldwork studies of kinship and exchange demonstrate how the social and material aspects of society are related, and address issues of concern to anthropology and the neighbouring disciplines of history, sociology and economics. This book marks the emergence of an era in the study of kinship and exchange using a productive combination of ethnographic substance with formal methods, one which leaves behind older structural-functionalist and culturalist assumptions.
