This thoroughly revised second edition offers a child-centered,
international perspective as it urges America to de-stigmatize
alternate family forms. In this book's first edition, Philip L.
Kilbride showed polygamy as the preferred marriage pattern in most
parts of the nonwestern world and explained how plural marriage is
surfacing in western countries to address economic and spiritual
crises. In Plural Marriage for Our Times: A Reinvented Option?
Second Edition, Kilbride and his coauthor, Douglas R. Page, update
and enhance this thesis in light of contemporary circumstances, new
studies, and current legal debates. This new edition examines
plural marriage's benefits for children. It extends the discussion
of polygamy and religion, especially the Muslim perspective on
marriage and family; considers the illegal polygamy of immigrants;
and looks at multiple marriage in African American communities,
where "crisis polygamy" is a growing phenomenon. The authors
suggest Americans consider plural marriage as a viable practice
that can help reduce the divorce rate, better protect women and
children, and serve as an alternative to the "fractured family" so
prevalent in America today. Includes an extensive bibliography
