Challenging traditional views on ethnicity, race, and sex, the book explores how political societies shape identity beyond mere birth affiliations. Jacqueline Stevens investigates various political contexts, including ancient Athens, Australian tribes, and modern America, to reveal how state power influences kinship rules and group memberships. By examining these dynamics, the work critiques both conventional theories and post-structuralist approaches, highlighting the active role of political structures in defining who we are.
