Reviews / Votes
"This is a powerful volume that argues for kinship and politics to be studied and analyzed in conjunction and not separately, as is still common within the social and political sciences. ...What makes the volume particularly strong is that it combines discussions of semantic shifts, political contestations, and philosophy and theory of house(hold), kin, and family relations."? * Keebet von Benda-Beckmann, Max Planck Institute for Social AnthropologyMore details
