Cultures of Multiple Fathers: The Theory and Practice of Partible Paternity in South America
University Press of Florida
This volume explores the concept of partible paternity, the aboriginal South American belief that a child can have more than one biological father - in other words, that all men who have sex with a woman during her pregnancy contribute to the baby's formation and is socially responsible for it.
