　　GRE阅读题目解析:奴隶们扩张的亲缘系统

　　P5

　　Gutman‘s examination of the slaves‘ extended kinship system produces important findings. Gutman discovers that cousins rarely married, an exogamous tendency that contrasted sharply with the endogamy practiced by the plantation owners. This preference for exogamy, Gutman suggests, may have derived from West African rules governing marriage, which, though they differed from one tribal group to another, all involved some kind of prohibition against unions with close kin. This taboo against cousins‘ marrying is important, argues Gutman, because it is one of many indications of a strong awareness among slaves of an extended kinship network. The fact that distantly related kin would care for children separated from their families also suggests this awareness. When blood relationships were few, as in newly created plantations in the Southwest, ―fictive‖ kinship arrangements took their place until a new pattern of consanguinity developed. Gutman presents convincing evidence that this extended kinship structure—which he believes developed by the mid-to-late eighteenth century—provided the foundations for the strong communal consciousness that existed among slaves.

　　11. According to the passage, all of the following are true of the West African rules governing marriage:

　　□A The rules forbade marriages between close kin.

　　□B The rules were not uniform in all respects from one West African tribe to another.

　　□C The rules have been considered to be a possible source of slaves‘ marriage preferences.

　　12. Which of the following statements concerning the marriage practices of plantation owners during the period of Black slavery in the United States can most logically be inferred from the information in the passage.

　　(A) These practices began to alter sometime around the mid-eighteenth century.

　　(B) These practices varied markedly from one region of the country to another.

　　(C) Plantation owners usually based their choice of marriage partners on economic considerations.

　　(D) Plantation owners often married earlier than slaves.

　　(E) Plantation owners often married their cousins.

　　13. Select the sentence in the passage that the author introduces additional support for the existence of the awareness of kinship among the slaves of an extended kinship network.
