Synopsis

Reassesses the place of Bulgaria in the map of European family types, challenging the assumption that it belongs with the other Slavic nations. Using the fragmentary evidence and synthesizing the meager research available, examines the size and structure of family households, and deals in detail with one particular family form, the South Slav zadruga during the 19th century.
