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.

Industry 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
