Transgressing Borders
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[P]rovocative collection....the collection makes a salient contribution to the current debates on globalization by highlighting the relationship between individual lifeworlds and more general feminist and sociological claims about globalization. [T]he volume does a good job of presenting the multidimensionality of peoples in terms of the social construction of family and households....[T]he chapters contained in this collection present a range of theoretical approaches and ethnographic case studies accessible to and highly recommended for both upper-division undergraduate and graduate audiences in courses that examine the inter-relationships between gender, power, and culture. The volume would be of particular interest to students in comparative sociology, cultural, gender, and family studies.”–
Book Description
Transgressing Borders goes beyond conventional popularized notions of the household, gender, and family by destabilizing their boundaries and challenging the codes that govern people's lives. This edited collection introduces readers to recent debates on familial politics, gendered spaces, nation and community, and household economies.
