- W2030643247 abstract "Abstract Some of the salient features of Arab culture are described and illustrated using historical and ethnographic accounts supplemented by interview data on 92 Arab-Americans. An attempt is made to explain the major features and changes in Arab culture in sociobiological terms using Dickemann's model of stratified polygynous societies as a prototype. In ancient Arabia, commercial wealth and then military plunder seem to have favored female chastity as a way of competing for large bride prices. Chastity was enforced through the claustration, veiling, genital mutilation, and early betrothal of daughters. Militarism and wife capture promoted polygyny, female infanticide, and investment in sons, who provided kin altruism, including guarding of kinswomen's chastity. In modern times the disappearance of wife capture and the persistence of claustration, polygyny, and/or early betrothal may have favored male homosexuality. This Arab model is in rough agreement with Dickemann's general model, with several demurrals. Female infanticide arose more in response to poverty and to sons' value as warriors and kin altruists, and less as a result of superfluous upper-class daughters. Also, dowry seems to have been virtually absent from Arab culture even if present in other Muslim societies. Additional features of Arab culture are examined and some general conclusions reached. Veiling may serve not only as an adjunct to claustration but also as a barrier to romantic entanglements. And a test of cross-cultural data implies that restriction of females arises from economic stratification, not from polygyny." @default.
