Reviews
An invitation to further and deeper conversations among scholars interested in all types of identity-based inequalities about the political institution of marriage and the politics of inclusion. -Politics and Gender A powerful analysis of the complex interactions between the public obligations expected of citizens and the private ones expected of marriage partners. Yamin demonstrates how our most intimate relationships have been shaped by political agendas, and in turn how our changing notion of personal rights and obligations are reshaping political debates. -Stephanie Coontz, author of Marriage, A History: How Love Conquered Marriage A splendid contribution to the scholarship of politics and marriage... An exemplary work in a neglected field. -Anne Norton, University of Pennsylvania

An exemplary work in a neglected field. -Anne Norton, University of Pennsylvania
