Grounded in multi-generational stories from Kinmen in Taiwan,
Visions of Marriage explores the historical entanglements between
the pursuit of new personal and national futures. Focusing on the
relational and future-making aspects of marriage, the ethnography
highlights the intersection of transformations across familial
generations and shifting political economies in Taiwan, and more
globally. While theories of modernity often treat marriage as an
index of social change, without adequate attention to its
transformative capacities generated through personal and familial
agency, this volume provides comparative insights on family change
and demographic shifts in Asia.
