Reviews
A wide-ranging, fascinating exploration of how and why the seemingly private relationships between romantic partners have generated such a sense of political crisis in so many different places --and called forth such differing proposed 'solutions. --Stephanie Coontz, author of Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage The global sweep of the essays in this collection makes it an invaluable addition to accounts of marriage, gender, and nation-states. Motivated by the notion of 'crisis' in marriage in different parts of the world, the volume probes the precarity of this institution, so fundamental to human sociality the world over. At the same time the differences in the nature of the crisis explored in each essay is a salutary reminder against positing a set of homogeneous assumptions about marriage. At a time when moral panics about gender are as ubiquitous as are discourses about the rights of women and sexual minorities, this volume is very timely in giving readers a broad historical overview of concerns that have shaped the institution globally. Methodologically varied and rigorous, this volume highlights the value of being attuned to questions of globalization and historical difference. --Rochona Majumdar, author of Marriage and Modernity: Family Values in Colonial Bengal
