Review

"In this creative book, Janet Carsten unsettles and reorients our traditional ideas about kinship. Through her deep understanding of kinship theory and comparative eye, we see kinship as it is made in shared experience, and interwoven with concepts of the house, person,gender, nationality, and new technologies. Kinship studies may once again become the heart of anthropology. After Carsten, they will never be the same." Stephen Gudeman, co-author of Conversations in Colombia: The Domestic Economy in Life and Text

Book Description

Kinship has historically been central to the discipline of anthropology but what sort of future does it have? What is the impact of recent studies of reproductive technologies, of gender, and of the social construction of science in the West? What significance does public anxiety about the family have for anthropology's analytic strategies? Janet Carsten gives an approachable and original view of the past, present, and future of kinship in anthropology, which will be of interest not just to anthropologists but to social scientists generally.
