Since the late nineteenth century, fears that marriage is in crisis
have reverberated around the world. Domestic Tensions, National
Anxieties explores this phenomenon, asking why people of various
races, classes, and nations frequently seem to be fretting about
marriage. Each of the twelve chapters analyzes a specific time and
place during which proclamations of marriage crisis have dominated
public discourse, whether in 1920s India, mid-century France, or
present-day Iran. While each nation has had its own reasons for
escalating anxieties over marriage and the family, common themes
emerge in how people have understood and debated crises in
marriage. Collectively, the chapters reveal how diverse individuals
have deployed the institution of marriage to talk not only about
intimate relationships, but also to understand the nation, its
problems, and various socioeconomic and political transformations.
The volume reveals critical insights and showcases original
research across interdisciplinary and national boundaries, making a
groundbreaking contribution to current scholarship on marriage,
family, nationalism, gender, and the law.
