Transgressing Borders goes beyond conventional popularized notions of the household, gender, and family by destabilizing their boundaries and challenging the codes that govern people's lives. This edited collection introduces readers to recent debates on familial politics, gendered spaces, nation and community, and household economies. Chapters present a range of theoretical approaches and ethnographic case studies that highlight the inter-relationships of gender, power, and culture. This volume is of interest to students and scholars in comparative sociology, anthropology, and cultural and family studies.
