{"product_id":"the-political-economy-of-same-sex-marriage","title":"The Political Economy of Same-Sex Marriage: A Feminist Critique","description":"\u003cp\u003eSame-sex marriage is now legal in twenty-nine countries and the subject of continued debate around the world.\u003ci\u003eThe Political Economy of Same-Sex Marriage: A Feminist Critique\u003c\/i\u003econsiders this debate from a political economy perspective. Rather than engaging directly in the now well-rehearsed social-movement and academic for-and-against debates, this book focuses on processes of institutionalization of same-sex marriage and so-called \"rainbow families\" within (neo)liberal capitalist democracies. It examines how states and markets appropriate same-sex marriage and family to enhance their own political and symbolic capital, consolidating power and profit within existing systems of gendered and raced socioeconomic stratification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking a radical feminist, heterodox, qualitative and intersectional approach, this book investigates the political economy of same-sex marriage across three axes: same-sex marriage as institution; same-sex marriage and the market; and the political economy of the \"rainbow family\". The examination of case studies from different countries and regions enables a comparative analysis that foregrounds cultural, political and economic path dependencies while at the same time highlighting a number of striking commonalities. In all the countries discussed in this book and in most respects, same-sex marriage has been integrated almost seamlessly into a mainstream\/malestream political economy of marriage and family and its translation into added market and productive value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Political Economy of Same-Sex Marriage: A Feminist Critique\u003c\/p\u003ewill be of use to researchers and students alike, and indeed to all those who are curious about the mainstreaming of homosexuality within twenty-first-century capitalist democracies.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46242600550610,"sku":"9781138502680","price":85.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46242600583378,"sku":"9781138502673","price":296.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46242600616146,"sku":"facf6a65-be7b-3cb0-8605-312c900367eb","price":78.71,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_6ab719ef-2314-451b-98f2-bdc611453ca8.jpg?v=1763443548","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/the-political-economy-of-same-sex-marriage","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
