How are love, marriage, and desire changing? This collection confronts that question, examining how global cultural flows, changing gender relations, specific economic structures, and state policies are reshaping intimate life around the world. Grounded in cutting edge feminist anthropological theory, these essays discuss how women and men craft courtship, intimacy, and marriage around the world, situating intimate relations in their respective social and economic contexts and exposing the dynamics that are shared cross-culturally, as well as those characteristics that are specific to each site.Prof. Holly Wardlow Ph.D. is the author of 'Modern Loves: The Anthropology of Romantic Courtship and Companionate Marriage', published 2006 under ISBN 9780472069590 and ISBN 0472069594.
