Talk given to the Radical Anthropology Group at Daryll Forde Seminar Room, Anthropology Building, 14 Taviton Street, London WC1H 0BW on 10 October 2017. Mark Jamieson explains what 'bride service' means and why gender politics is different where matrilocality – for a woman, living with your mother and sisters, for a 'married' man, living with your 'mother-in-law' — is the norm. Jamieson discusses gender games, language and the pressures on Miskitu society resulting from the influence of drugs and money.
