Kinship in Neckarhausen, 1700–1870
Sabean, David Warren (University of California, Los Angeles)
Sabean questions the idea that the more modern society became, the less kin mattered. In Neckarhausen, close kin developed a flexible set of exchanges, passing marriage partners, godparents, political favors, work contacts, and financial guarantees back and forth. These new kinship systems were fundamental for class formation.
