Industry Reviews
Liberalism, with its tenets of freedom, equality, and fairness, provides a straightforward answer to the question of marriage equality for same-sex couples: yes. After that, it gets really messy. Should the state recognize polygyny? Robot-human marriages? Is civil marriage itself, not to mention its ill-adhered to presumption of sexual exclusivity, anathema to liberal democracy? Den Otter's fantastic, far-reaching collection illuminates these issues and so many more. The scholars of Beyond Same-Sex Marriage confront the hardest dilemmas of governing intimacy unblinkingly. I learned most from their disagreements! -- Joe Fischel, Yale University
This stimulating and diverse collection of essays includes a participant-observer's account of life in progressive Mormon households, a theoretical analysis of why "liberal neutrality" should lead to legal recognition of multiple-partner marriage, a lawyer's argument against legal recognition of plural marriage, and much more. Multidisciplinary in approach, Beyond Same-Sex Marriage provides a rich overview of many complex issues raised by polygamy, plural marriage, polyamory, and the family forms to which these practices give rise. -- Mary L. Shanley, Vassar College
