The book explores the concept of avuncular relationships within the Basaa people's social structure, particularly focusing on the term "yandom," which signifies both offspring and members of a mother's patriclan. It delves into the dynamics of these relationships, highlighting the rights and attitudes associated with them. Through a detailed examination of Basaa ideology of descent, the study provides insights into how kinship and social roles are defined and understood within this cultural context.
