Forbidden Intimacies: Polygamies at the Limits of Western Tolerance Heath Melanie
A poignant account of everyday polygamy and what its regulation reveals about who is viewed as an "Other"In the past thirty years, polygamy has become a flashpoint of conflict as Western governments attempt to regulate certain cultural and religious practices that challenge seemingly central principles of family and justice. Drawing on a wealth of ethnographic and archival sources, Heath uncovers the ways in which intimacies framed as "other" and "offensive" serve to define the very limits of Western tolerance.These regulation efforts, counterintuitively, allow the flourishing of polygamies on the ground.
