Summary

Race, ethnicity and nation are all intimately linked to family and kinship, yet these links deserve closer attention than they usually get in social science, above all when family and kinship are changing rapidly in the context of genomic and biotechnological revolutions.

Race, Ethnicity, and Nation Summary

Race, Ethnicity, and Nation: Perspectives from Kinship and Genetics by Peter Wade

Race, ethnicity and nation are all intimately linked to family and kinship, yet these links deserve closer attention than they usually get in social science, above all when family and kinship are changing rapidly in the context of genomic and biotechnological revolutions. Drawing on data from assisted reproduction, transnational adoption, mixed race families, Basque identity politics and post-Soviet nation-building, this volume provides new and challenging ways to understand race, ethnicity and nation.

Race, Ethnicity, and Nation Reviews

The highlight of this collection is the depth and consistency of its comparative approach;... A further point of interest in this collection is the significant attention to media sources that the authors give. * American Ethnologist

This collection fulfils its aim of broadening the terms and contexts of current debate...It is...recommended to scholars interested in human relatedness in its different forms and particularly those working at the intersections between relatedness and development in bioscience. * Journal of Biosocial Science

Rich with examples, taken together this volume extends in important ways our understanding of race, ethnicity, and nation through the perspective of kinship, conceived as entailing, as Wade puts it, 'a constant traffic between natural and cultural idioms'. * JRAI
