Opponents have argued that polygamy is harmful to women, children, personal freedom, and even national values, and press for prosecution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet in this volume, eleven scholars ask whether this response is justified by examining, among other perspectives, the lived experiences of polygamous families. In essays that fearlessly explore difficult questions of love, choice, and dignity, these historians, legal scholars, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, and religious studies scholars, some of whom are personally connected to polygamous families, seek to complicate a conversation that is more often simplified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThoughtful and persuasive, \u003cem\u003ePolygamy's Rights and Wrongs\u003c\/em\u003e is both a close consideration of polygamy -- its historical place and its presence in contemporary society -- and a challenging reflection on the ways in which we value family and intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Is Polygamy Inherently Harmful? \/ \u003cem\u003eLori G.
