Romantic Passion by Jankowiak, William R.

ISBN: 0231096860

Author: Jankowiak, William R.

Condition: new

Observers from the West, the book contends, have incorrectly projected rigid ethnocentric notions of love and marriage onto cultures around the world. Contributors look beyond each society's "official" institutions to explore expressions of love, offering new perspectives on arranged marriages and polygamy and reexaminging as well the other side of the equation: rejection and grief.
