Romance on a Global Stage: Pen Pals, Virtual Ethnography, and "Mail Order" Marriages

By the year 2000 more than 350 Internet agencies were plying the email-order marriage trade. Attentive to the structural, cultural, and personal factors that prompt women and men to seek marriage partners abroad, this book questions the dichotomies so frequently drawn between structure and agency, and between global and local levels of analysis.
