Love and Globalization: Transformations of Intimacy in the Contemporary World
It is remarkable that romantic love is so seldom linked to scholarship on sexuality.  Finally in this wonderful collection we have a group of original, timely, and savvy essays that dare to speak of the intimacies of love and passion.  The authors represent a broad array of anthropologists who combine feisty theorizing with deliciously contoured ethnography from across the globe.  This is a stimulating volume bringing together compact studies of late-modern love.--Matthew Gutmann, author ofFixing Men: Sex, Birth Control, and AIDS in Mexico
