This work analyses shifts in the relations of families, households,
and individuals in a single German village during the transition to
a modern social structure and cultural order. The findings call
into question the idea that the more modern society became, the
less kin mattered. Rather, the opposite happened. During
'modernization', close kin developed a flexible set of exchanges,
passing marriage partners, godparents, political favors, work
contacts, and financial guarantees back and forth. Sabean also
argues that the new kinship systems were fundamental for class
formation, and he repositions women in the center of a political
culture of alliance construction. One of a series of important
local studies coming out of the Max Planck Institute for History,
it is the most thorough-going attempt to work between the
disciplines of social and cultural history and anthropology, and it
demonstrates the power of microhistory to reconceptualize general
historical trends.
