Modern Loves: The Anthropology of Romantic Courtship and Companionate Marriage
"Modern Loves offers an overview of current scholarship on love in the context of sexual relationships cross-culturally, and provides a view of the complexity of varied aspects of emotion, social structure, and social change in contemporary sexual relationships. It makes the case for a political economic understanding of the emergence of ideologies of love, marriage, and courtship as part of expanding global economies." - Linda-Anne Rebhun, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, Yale University"
