The family is usually described in terms of patterns of kinship, inheritance, and relations between sexes and generations. The author examines the contemporary use of these terms and their evolution from nineteenth-century anthropology and social thought. He then considers how these concepts apply to and reveal the nature of European and other societies.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe meaning of family \u003cp\u003eThe role of the ancestors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe politics of family\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe arranged marriage\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe nature of passion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe economics of the household\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe rise of domesticity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20%5BHB%5D%22\"\u003eHB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52502965682456,"sku":"9780631146698","price":40.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631146698.jpg?v=1786321579","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-history-of-the-family-paperback-softback-9780631146698","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
