- W2317996492 abstract "In this thoroughly researched publication, Weisberg illustrates the regularity of levirate unions within Judaism despite a variety of reinterpretations of the practice over the course of time. She argues that such reinterpretations occurred in tandem with, or in response to, value-shifts within Jewish communities regarding, amongst other things, the different roles of women, inheritance, and kinship systems. Although by training Weisberg is a scholar of rabbinics, she nevertheless makes an admirable attempt to utilize the range of data concerned with levirate unions. This is most prominent in the initial chapter, which draws on an array of anthropological case studies to illustrate the range and variety of levirate marriage systems, the types of societies wherein such systems most prominently occur, and the values relating to kinship and sexual unions which such marriage systems reflect. Moreover, Weisberg shows that different cultures which use levirate marriage systems do not attach the same meanings to the practice. They are sometimes employed out of a concern for the family’s investment of a bride-price, other times out of concern for the widow and her offspring, yet other times out of respect for the dead. Nevertheless, Weisberg manages to trace a number of commonalities; levirate unions generally occur within pastoral societies which are patrilocal, exogamous, polygynous, and where inheritance is patrilineal (or in some cases, there is joint fraternal inheritance). Weisberg also shows how various attitudes towards, and options for, widows, how beliefs about lineage, and how laws of inheritance all have major effects on levirate systems in different parts of the world." @default.
