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.”–
