This volume gathers contributions from academics, activists, and practitioners throughout the world to explore non-monogamous relationships. Featuring both empirical and theoretical pieces, contributors examine the history and cultural basis of various forms of non-monogamy, experiences of non-monogamous living, psychological understandings of relationship patterns, language and emotion, the discursive construction of mono-normativity as well as issues of race, class, disability, sexuality and gender.
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of comparative gender diference in Europe. In addressing a range of issues - from employment and households to the state, migration, male violence and values and attitudes - the book transcends the conventional 'economy/cultural' divide.
