How can we conceive of kinship and sociality in the rapidly transforming uplands of
mainland Southeast Asia? How to write about kinship in a way that neither falls into
the trap of taking for granted kinship phenomena nor ignores the body of knowledge
from earlier research? This in-depth study uses its rich findings from extensive fieldwork
among the Khmu, upland dwellers of northern Laos, to bridge the divide between classical
ethnography and modern approaches to kinship studies. Here, the author offers a fresh
perspective on kinship by, first of all, stepping backwards and delving into how it
is actually lived locally in northern Laos. She highlights that not only the beginning
of life but also its ending deserves our attention when considering the relevance
of kinship. Indeed, to a considerable extent, living kinship is about death. The context
of kinship and sociality among the Khmu is significant here, these being framed by
ties of matrilateral cross-cousin marriage and patrilineal descent concepts on which
this study casts new light
