Book Chapter
Prelude: Fragments of Family

The prelude describes the impulses that led to the present investigation: the overwhelming evidence of hierarchies, inequalities, and gender, class, and caste discrimination in the domestic sphere, and the widespread refusal to acknowledge it. Pointing to the implications of men’s ambiguous commitment to the domestic, it calls for attention to the justification of their presence/absence, and for an analysis of the consequences of this presence/absence—not only for women, servants, poorer relatives, and hangers-on, the drudges of the inner world, but also for those in power in this domain, those who claim to uphold the honor of family, community, or nation through covert as well as open acts of violence.
