Böcker av James (University of East Anglia) Casey

James Casey offers an innovative study of prestige, power and the family in a Mediterranean city during the early modern period. He focuses on the structure and values of the ruling class of the frontier city of Granada and explores the enduring importance of ties of kinship, friendship and neighbourhood.

The History of the Family concerns the changing interactions between family and social, political and religious structures over the last thousand years of European history. The family is usually described in terms of patterns of kinship, inheritance, and relations between sexes and generations.
