A Cultural History of Marriage in the Age of Empires
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-00189-3 (ISBN)
Using this framework, this volume explores global trends in marriage. In nineteenth-century Western Europe, marriage was increasingly regarded as the only way to reach happiness and self-fulfilment. In the United States former slaves obtained the right to marry, leading to a convergence in marriage patterns between the black and white populations. In Latin America, marriage remained less common, but marriage rates were nevertheless on the rise. In African and Asian societies, European colonial powers tried to change indigenous marriage customs like polygamy and arranged marriages, but had limited success. Across the globe, in a time of turbulent political and economic change, marriage and the family remained crucial institutions, the linchpins of society that they had been for centuries.
Paul Puschmann is Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Sociological Research at Radboud University, the Netherlands. He is the author of Casablanca: A Demographic Miracle on Moroccan Soil? (2011).
