The Silent Sky by Allan W Eckert
Following periods of intense debate and eventual demise, kinship studies is now seeing a revival in anthropology. New Directions in Anthropological Kinship captures these recent trends and explores new avenues of inquiry in this re-emerging subfield. The book comprises contributions from primatology, evolutionary anthropology, archaeology, and cultural anthropology. The authors review the history of kinship in anthropology and its theory, and recent research in relation to new directions of anthropological study. Moving beyond the contentious debates of the past, the book covers feminist anthropology on kinship, the expansion of kinship into the areas of new reproductive technologies, recent kinship constructions in EuroAmerican societies, and the role of kinship in state politics.Allan W. Eckert is the author of almost forty works, including the award-winning Incident at Hawk's Hill and Twilight of Empire. He has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize seven times. Other historical narratives, novels, and nonfiction works, as well as books for young adults and children, are among his works.
