To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the relationships are stable, socially recognized and continuing is an example of the extreme flexibility of Haitian family organization. The most common polygynous settlement pattern today is for the male to establish separate households for his different mates in various locations. The spouses of the seven Plage-Boutou men (excluding the unique case of Narva Lamour), who in 1984 were living in stable and socially recognized polygynous unions, resided in separate houses. In five of these ...cases, the two wives live in different villages of Plage-Boutou; and in two cases, one mate lives in Plage-Boutou and one in Port-de-Paix . In all seven cases, there is animosity and bickering between the co-wives . 72 Plage-Boutouians claim that simultaneous polygamy was more common among their ancestors than it is today. The scarcity of land and the general impoverishment of contemporary Plage-Boutouians, as compared to the first generations of Plage-Boutou residents, is cited as the cause for this decline.
