Editorial Reviews

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

An approachable and original view of the past, present, and future of kinship in anthropology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to social antropology
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
I bought this book as it was recommended to me by my family therapy supervisor as a good introduction to basic ideas in social anthropology. It is really helpful in challenging our traditional idea of family and kinship. There is also a beautiful chapter on the house and the distribution of household roles between genders across cultures. It is an interesting book to read.
