Do such representations overlook the diffuse, enduring ties that kinship has long signified? What has been the effect of contemporary bio-politics on kinship practices and theories? This title deals with these questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This important collection of inter-disciplinary essays on the new kinship shows diverse ways that relative values, shifting solidarities, and partial connections of truth and affect today create the ties that bind.”—Paul Rabinow, University of California, Berkeley\u003cbr\u003e“This is one of the few books which crosses disciplinary terrains with clear and brilliant consequences. It not only brings anthropology into every sphere, but shows that fundamental thinking on life and kinship under conditions of globalization compel us to accept and work with a radical remapping of knowledge. This text considers these issues with prismatic illumination and is unprecedented in its success.”—Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley\u003cbr\u003e\"The challenge of recoding our kinship studies and our kinship behaviour remains, but the essays in \u003ci\u003eRelative Values\u003c\/i\u003e provide a broad template that makes meeting the challenge possible—and necessary. Scholars in a multitude of fields will be grateful for this finely executed collection.\" -- Judith S.
