Arranging Marriage: Conjugal Agency in the South Asian Diaspora
Marian Aguiar

Marian Aguiar analyzes arranged marriage as a transnational cultural phenomenon, revealing how its meaning has been continuously reinvented within the South Asian diaspora of Britain, the United States, and Canada. She advocates situating arranged marriage discourses within their social and material contexts to see past reductive notions of culture and grasp the global forces mediating increasingly polarized visions of agency.
