520 |a Arranged marriage is an institution of global fascination--an object of curiosity, revulsion, outrage, and even envy. Marian Aguiar provides the first sustained analysis of 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. Aguiar identifies and analyzes representations of arranged marriage in an interdisciplinary set of texts--from literary fiction and Bollywood films, to digital and print media, to contemporary law and policy on forced marriage.
