What need is there for kinship? What good is it anyway? The
questions are as old as anthropology itself, but few answers have
been enduringly persuasive. Kinship systems can contribute to our
enslavement, but more often they permit, channel, and facilitate
our relations with others and our further fashioning of
ourselves--as kin but also as subjects of other kinds. When they
do, they are among the matrices of our lives as ethical beings.
Each contributor to this innovative book treats his or her own
alterity as the touchstone of the exploration of an
ethnographically and historically specific ethics of kinship.
Together, the chapters reveal the irreducible complexity of the
entanglement of the subject of kinship with the subject of nation,
class, ethnicity, gender, desire. The chapters speak eloquently to
the sometimes liberating stories that we cannot help but keep
telling about our kin and ourselves.
