What need is there for kinship? What good is it anyway? The questions are as old as anthropology itself, but few answers have been enduringly persuasive. Kinship systems can contribute to our enslavement, but more often they permit, channel, and facilitate our relations with others and our further fashioning of ourselvesas kin but also as subjects of other kinds. When they do, they are among the matrices of our lives as ethical beings.Each contributor to this innovative book treats his or her own alterity as the touchstone of the exploration of an ethnographically and historically specific ethics of kinship. Together, the chapters reveal the irreducible complexity of the entanglement of the subject of kinship with the subject of nation, class, ethnicity, gender, desire. The chapters speak eloquently to the sometimes liberating stories that we cannot help but keep telling about our kin and ourselves.

I found a lot of valuable insights in this book, but the writing is quite academic. It took me a while to get through some sections. Useful for anyone delving into kinship studies, though!

A Deep Dive into Kinship Dynamics
This volume really opened my eyes to the complexities of kinship. The ethnographic inquiries are well-researched and thought-provoking. Just what I needed for my sociology class!
